• This teaching resource explains the work of Dr Siobhan Maderson, a geographer at Aberystwyth University, UK. She is investigating how the traditional environmental knowledge held by beekeepers can be used to help make agriculture more sustainable.

• This resource also contains an interview with Siobhan. If your students have questions for Siobhan, they can send them to her online. All they need to do is to go to the article online (see the Futurum link below), scroll down to the end and type in the question(s). Siobhan will reply!

• The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on Siobhan’s research and challenges them to discover what traditional environmental knowledge is held by indigenous groups around the world, or in their own communities.

This resource was first published on Futurum Careers, a free online resource and magazine aimed at encouraging 14-19-year-olds worldwide to pursue careers in science, tech, engineering, maths, medicine (STEM) and social sciences, humanities and the arts for people and the economy (SHAPE).
