School Field Trips

The Field Trip

Objectives:

• To bring the amazing world of the honeybees to the forefront of education through hands on activities and explorations.
• To showcase the relationship between humans and honeybees.
• To feature the honeybee as an integral species in our food web.
• To explore the honeybee and other pollinators as a keystone species in Earth's ecosystem.

Our program will educate on four main topics:

All About Bees

Pollination

Extraction/Beekeeping

Civic Duty

Using interactive ‘stations’, guest have a chance to learn explore and experience the lessons using all of their senses!

Children Will:

Taste different types of honey

Touch displays and learn about bees in a tactile manner

See the lesson come alive in the form of real beekeeping props, interactive displays and colourful posters

Listen to lessons not only from our guide but also to the reactions and observations from their peers while interacting with different educational activities!

Smell other bee products like bee pollen, beeswax and propolis

Each field trip includes a take-home bee friendly wildflower seedling craft that they can plant in their back yard, and a pre and post package for educators to reinforce lessons at Honeybee Centre and an incredible on-site interactive experience.
