Classes at the Wilkie Cumberbatch Primary were brought to a halt today after bees swarmed the school.
In a release, the Ministry of Education, Technological and Vocational Training said last week a beekeeper successfully removed two hives from the school premises and assured the Principal no more hives were on the property.
However, the beekeeper believes there is another hive somewhere in the surrounding community and the fragrance of sweets is what may have drawn the bees to the school compound.
A decision was made to close the school just after the lunch period, out of concern for health and safety.
The Ministry has apologised for any inconvenience caused.
