Primary & Secondary School Program
The Primary School Program covers the basics of bees and beekeeping but goes deeper into discussions around sustainability and the environment. We look at why bees are important, their role in the ecosystem, commercial beekeeping, and what can be done to help make an impact to save the bees. A custom made 3D printed model of the lifecycle of the bee is a fantastic learning aid to discuss the lifecycle of the bee and their many roles throughout their life.
The Primary School Program includes a honey harvesting experience where students will get to experience a real honey extraction while learning about the honey making process. We'll supply two frames of raw honey which will be uncapped and spun in a clear extractor so the students can observe the honey spinning out of the honeycomb. We then filter and jar the honey for the students to take home.
The Primary School Program sessions last for approximately 1 hour. All materials and equipment as well as take home items are included in the fee.
$495 + GST for up to 25 students. Please enquire about larger groups or multiple sessions at the same school.
