Frequently Asked Questions

|
Q. Is there a certain age range for the students? |
|
Student ages can range from pre-school to university. The presentation is tailored for the age and experience level of the group. It is recommended that the age range and experience of a specific group be narrow so that each member of the group can get the most out of the presentation. |
|
Q. What will the students learn? |
|
Students will discover the mysterious and incredible world of the honeybee. They will learn about bee biology and life cycle, bee products such as honey and royal jelly, and the art of beekeeping. The importance of honeybees to our environment, our health, and to agriculture is discussed. We tailor our tours to the teacher's specific requirements. Anything is possible! |
