     Youth Groups & After Hours Presentations

 

 

 

Our innovative and interactive presentations take you on an unforgettable journey into the exciting world of honeybees and arthropods.

 

Honeybee Centre's talented and entertaining tour guides will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about life inside the hive and about the wonderful world of bugs.


Our presentations are catered to the age of the groups. Students learn age appropriate lessons aligned with current school curriculums, which can be tailored to meet any class’s needs. Our goal is a fun and educational experience for all. 

 

    
 

 

Itinerary

 

Step inside our Bees & Pollinators room and join your guide in learning about honeybees and other important pollinators. Taste honey, pollen and royal jelly. See the queen bee laying eggs alongside the workers and drones. Learn about pollination and how honey is made.

 

Afterward, you’ll follow the guide into our classroom to touch some preserved insects and learn about body parts, defence and habitats of invertebrates & arachnids. You’ll spend time making an optional craft (see below) and then end with a scavenger hunt in our Bug Lab. Live tarantulas, scorpions, crickets, centipedes, millipedes, and much more are on display to investigate and observe.

Small Group Rates

 

We understand that not all groups can reach our minimum tour numbers. Therefore, we have a few options:

 

1.        If you have less than 20 participants, you’re more than welcome to still book a tour at the minimum rate (ie, 2 H Presentation for 14 children will be charged $160).

 

2.        Book a small group presentation which gets your access to our Bees & Bugs Lab with an addition 20 minute private presentation with our talented tour guides. See our Drop-In Interactive Exhibit [J LINK 1] description for the format of the rest of your tour. During the summer months, weather permitting, the 20 minute private presentation will be replaced with a private 20 minute beekeeping demonstration. These tours must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance and require a $25 deposit.
