Bees All Around Us Educational Day 5/30/23
Bring your 3-5 year old for a morning to Focus on the Importance of "Bees in our World" with our preschool instructors Debbie, Stella and Kate. This one day class will start with a story and a craft for your little one. We will have a special guest who is the Beekeeper for the hives on the farm who will share his knowledge on how to care for Bees. We will have a honey tasting and every child will leave with a small jar of honey! We might even take a hayride across the street to go see the hives also if the weather cooperates.
The class runs from 10:00 am to 11:45 am and the cost is $40 per child/with one caregiver/parent allowed. Free petting zoo admission if you would like to visit the farm animals before/after your class.
