Have you ever wondered where honey comes from? Ever noticed little buzzing insects on flowers and been curious? Have you ever thought about starting your own honey bee hive or simply want to know what beekeepers do?
Beekeeping Camp is intended to answer all of these questions and more. For ages 9-14, Beekeeping Camp is designed to introduce the world of honey bees to the beginner by putting students into the role of the beekeeper. Guided by experienced staff, students will roll up their sleeves and learn by doing.
Camp will begin each day at 8:00 AM and conclude at 3:30 PM. Students are encouraged to wear a t-shirt and long pants (i.e., no shorts), as well as closed-toe shoes with socks (i.e., no flip-flops or sandals). Each student is asked to bring a hat and a sack lunch; drinks and snacks will be provided.
