Bee Girl's Kids and Bees Program

Kids love honey bees. It’s pretty much a fact. When I sat on the sunny deck of my aunt’s cabin eating honey comb straight from the hive as a toddler, a seed was planted that grew into an affinity for all things bees as an adult. I now travel the country and visit schools and summer programs with our observational bee hive (season and location permitting), activities, and tastes of honey for the kids. Seeing their faces light up gives me hope that I am helping to plant seeds of knowledge and fondness that may someday grow into a great beekeeper...
