School Tours

Students will see on display live honeybees in a protected observation hive. Discussion will take place on hives, structure of colonies, caste system, and life cycle in relation to the STEM learning system.  The purpose and importance of honeybee's pollination of crops, flowers, and trees, resulting in production of many foods we eat today, will be highlighted.  Honey production and pollination in the past compared to the many obstacles beekeepers face today, will be a key focus.  Students will learn the key role pollinators carry in farming operations, and our daily lives, both in the past and present.
