Career Day

We believe that our program offers an enriching and unique learning experience that complements your dedication to providing exceptional science and math education. We'd be thrilled to present our program in more detail at your convenience and discuss how it can benefit your students

Here's how our program aligns perfectly with your science and math curriculum:

• STEM in Action: Students will explore bee anatomy, pollination processes, honey production, and hive management, applying scientific principles and mathematical calculations in a real-world context.

• Experiential Learning: Observing live bees, assisting with hive inspections, and extracting honey provide invaluable hands-on opportunities that solidify classroom learning.

• Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving: Students will work together to design bee hotels, analyze honey properties, and explore sustainable beekeeping practices, honing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

We innerstand that implementing new programs can be challenging, so we offer flexible options to suit your needs:

• One-day workshops: Introduce students to the fascinating world of bees with engaging activities and demonstrations.

• Multi-week curriculum integration: Seamlessly integrate beekeeping topics into your existing science and math curriculum for deeper learning.

• After-school clubs or enrichment programs: Provide continued beekeeping experiences and foster deeper student engagement.
