We have a great, interactive class that teaches all about bees and what they do for us. This is a great class for both kids and adults and can easily be tailored to the dynamics of your group. We love teaching about bees, and we can all remember our first experience with a bee when we were kids (good or bad...), so we love the idea of sharing more about the good side of bees with a bit of humor.
This class has been very popular with homeschool groups, outdoor clubs, nature clubs, Boy and Girl Scouts, garden clubs, libraries, nursing homes, and groups looking for an organized, funny, and informative speaker to speak to their group.
The class can be held at your location (mileage may apply) or at our beekeeping facility classroom, and we will schedule a time that works for you. Just message us some dates and times that work great for you. Each of these classes is designed for around 20 people, as that gives everyone the best opportunity to see and ask questions. We can accommodate groups of 20 or more; we charge only $2 per person for groups above 20 to cover the extra supplies needed. We will invoice this after the class.
Our class is 60-75 minutes and is designed to talk all about how bees and beekeepers work through an interactive class where you can see a real colony of bees in our observation hive. You can see, touch, smell, and taste the different products that bees make.
We use a lot of different teaching aids to make it an informative, but also hands-on class. We use wax blocks, honeycomb, frames, pollen, and much more to help. Tell us about your group, and we will tailor it to fit your group's needs.
You should expect to learn how bees interact with our environment and why they are important. We'll talk about the 3 types of honeybees that live inside a beehive and what they all do. We will play fun find-the-queen games and talk through how a bee grows from an egg to a honey forager.
