Justin joined Stratton's youngest residents to help them plant their very own bee friendly garden at Grange Infant School.
The project, led by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust with sponsorship from Mini BMW, aims to teach children about the importance of bees to our ecosystem and everyday life.
The children made beeswax candles, tasted different types of honey and tried on special 'bee glasses' that show the world as bees see it.
They then donned gloves and picked up their trowels to plant a bed of nectar rich plants and a bed of plants attractive to bees. Justin too got his fingers muddy, planting some herbs and other plants.
Justin said "Bees are absolutely vital to our ecosystem and food chain. Without them, the plants that produce food would not be pollinated and our whole farming system as we know it would collapse. That is why it is so concerning that bee numbers are in decline.
"We can all do our bit to plant our gardens with flowers and plants attractive to bees, and provide them with a friendly habitat. That is why schools across Swindon are taking part in this project and it is really fantastic to see the children enjoying it so much. Armed with their green fingers and bee knowledge, I hope they go home to transform their back gardens into a bee haven."
