Welcome to Learning Tree Farm's Bee Programs and Pollinator Packages

This year you'll have multiple chances to engage and discover more about pollinators and our ama-zzzzz-ing bees! You can select just the events you want to attend OR sign-up for all 3 programs by registering for our "Pollinator Package" and get a 20% discount. All 3 programs run on Saturdays from 10:30am-noon. This is part of our Saturday Family Fun programs and is not a drop-off program. Please make sure ALL participants have a ticket to these ama-zzzzzzzzing events!

April 27th- Wake the Bees

We'll start with some games and hands-on experiences as we explore the important relationship between plants and pollinators. Then we'll join our beekeeper as he "wakes" some of the LTF bee from the winter nap and learn about how our bees survive all four seasons. We'll wrap up the day as you make your very own "pollinator power balls" to take home and support the pollinators in your very own yard!

July 20th- Meet the Bees

We always enjoy starting the day with some games and hands-on experiences as we explore the important relationship between bees and our food. Then we'll join our beekeeper as he shows us different kinds of hives, the rolls differnt bees fulfill in a colony, and just how do bees make wax. Participants will get the chance to dip their own bee wax candle!

August 31st- Honey Harvest

As always, we'll start the day with some games and hands-on experience as we learn about the different rolls bees ..... Then we'll join our beekeeper as he shows us all the steps it takes to go from pollen to honey. We'll wrap up the morning 

It's sure to "bee" a sweet time!

Registration for this event includes admission to the Farm for the remainder of the day.
