Logan's dyslexia made it difficult for him to keep up in the classroom. But when a teacher's aide suggested beekeeping, a switch inside him flipped.

"Like most disabilities, dyslexia is unique to the person as to how they'll experience it ... they're part of the group known as neurodiverse," Dr Armstrong says. "Many people with dyslexia claim they understand and process information differently, they have different ways of making sense of the world."

"As with many education issues, it's been left ad-hoc for the states to deliver on," he says. "However, it's one of those issues where there really needs to be federal action to ensure consistency." "A better way is to pull everybody up by offering a curriculum that all kids can access, and that's meaningful for all young people, no matter what their strengths and weaknesses are."

And despite being the youngest beekeeper he's come across around Shepparton, he's got a long list of things he wants to learn how to do. First on the list is starting to make queen cells next year — a much-needed skill that will allow him to breed queen bees for his ever-growing collection of hives as beekeeper organisations"There's always more to learn, we don't really know everything about them," he says.

Bees aren't a problem 🤦‍♂️

Wonderful story, thanks…

'Problem' is the wrong choice of word used

A “global problem” Hardly. We are reliant on bees and other pollinators for much of our food production and would be screwed without them. Terrible headline you need to change it.

Excellent read to start the day.
