GEM Honey Bee Experience
We start with a talk about pollinators and why we should care. Followed by a discussion of life in the hive for drones, workers & queen bees. I then perform a hive inspection, stimulating questions while you’re safe inside a pool cage. The experience is uniquely yours and the more questions the better the experience. A physically safe experience with no time limit. It typically lasts 90 minutes, depending on questions.
$10.00 per person with a $30 minimum.
Gift certificates are available.
* Larger groups are supported, please contact John for details *
Remote options available
** I can also come to your group with about 3K of my friends in an observation hive**
*** Recommended for, but not limited to, ages 8 and above ***
“This experience gave us a great introduction to bees and beekeeping. We started out exploring a variety of flowers and the connection between plants and pollinators. Who knew that bees can see yellow, blue, and green. John is extremely knowledgeable and patient and a truly passionate beekeeper. He explained what a bee experiences over a course of its lifetime. We were able to get up close and personal to the bees in the safety of a covered lanai while John inspected the beehive and pointed out the queen bee, the larva, and even the pollen on the tiny bee legs. My four year old loved it too. It’s a great experience and I highly recommend it.”
