2B Enterprising founded The Bumbles of Honeywood learning resources that help teach young children about entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship and essential life skills by following Honeywood’s Bumble bee family as they together they face a series of challenges.

In addition to teaching the next generation about business, the resources cover a wide range of topics, including sustainability, wellbeing, diversity and inclusion.

2B Enterprising’s Founder and Creative Director, Sue Poole, said, “We’ve had a fantastic first year in business at 2B Enterprising.

“I have been overwhelmed with the appetite from businesses to support schools in their area and beyond by providing them with the funding necessary to receive The Bumbles of Honeywood program. We have also had great feedback from the schools we visited on how the children gained confidence, increased their knowledge of the business and improved their teamwork skills at the same time.”

To celebrate the first anniversary, the 2B Enterprising team returned to one of the first schools to join the program, Pontybrenin Primary School in Gorseinon, to see the children again and find out what they had learnt. Pontybrenin Primary School has been linked with Swansea-based investment company Swansea.com.

They are easy to use and the lessons delivered by the 2B Enterprising team have captured our students’ imaginations as they navigate problem solving, teamwork and creative thinking.
