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... or at least an avid consumer of local honey and sustainably grown food!

I visit students pre-k through 12th grade with my engaging and fun program, and can tailor my program to any level for groups of kids from 10 to 500. I also lead a fantastic summer camp though ScienceWorks Hands-on Museum! Most recently my work with kids and bees has allowed me to join forces with the Foundation for the Preservation of the Honey Bee as the Kids and Bees Program Director at each annual American Beekeeping Federation conference. This year I was in Hershey, PA, see you in Baton Rouge, LA in 2014!

I am also excited to announce that I will be working with the Inernational Bee Research Associate to bring beekeeping education to many corners of the globe through the BEEWORLD Project. Keep in touch to find how you can connect with students and teachers in Africa and the UK.
