We will visit the garden, conduct experiments, taste bee products and work in the honey house. Our classes are aimed at preschoolers and primary school students.
We believe that building a bond with pollinators is extremely important! After all, we owe ⅓ of our food to them!

We learn about bee products through experiments and practical classes, from which you can choose:
1. Real wax candle
Children cast a candle in a mold, refine it with essential oils and learn the consistency of the wax. They pack their work themselves in a decorative package and take it with them forever :)
However, before they start their work, they will learn all the properties and possibilities of using bee products, such as wax, pollen, bee bread, and what propolis is used for by bees.
The combination of science, ecology and art helps children develop manual skills, supports creativity and builds ecological awareness.
By organizing such workshops, we support children in discovering the world through the prism of fun and learning, which will surely bear fruit in the future.
Beeswax, the main ingredient, is a 100% natural product produced by bees. The workshops are a great opportunity to talk about the role of bees in nature, their importance for the ecosystem and the need to protect the environment. Children learn that choosing natural and organic products can have a positive impact on the planet.
Option 2. Assembling frames and visiting the apiary
After selected practical activities, children can visit a real apiary. Dressed in special protective clothing, such as beekeeping suits and mesh hats, they have the opportunity to closely observe bees in their natural environment. Assembling bee frames is an activity that perfectly combines science with practical manual skills. During the workshops, children learn how to assemble a frame on which bees build honeycombs.
These classes develop manual skills, patience and the ability to concentrate. Assembling frames is not only fun, but also an introduction to the fascinating world of beekeeping.

Option 3. Natural soaps with beeswax
Making soaps is a great opportunity to express yourself. Children can choose different shapes and accessories, such as dried flowers or essential oils. Participating in the creative process allows them to develop their imagination and discover their own artistic talents. Moreover, each soap becomes a unique work of art, which strengthens the sense of pride and belief in one's own abilities.
Soap workshops are a great opportunity for teamwork. Children cooperate, share ideas and help each other, which strengthens their communication skills. Joint activities also help build relationships and teach respect for the work of others.
Children will learn about the variety of essential oils such as lavender, orange and tea tree, choosing the ones they like best.">These are not only ecological care products, but also excellent material for creative workshops for children.

In the honey house, we learn the differences between honey from the apiary and glucose syrup. We taste different types of honey and learn about its properties. Everyone can turn off our honey extractor and uncap the honey from the frame themselves. In our garden you can get to know and try melliferous and nectar-producing plants from which our bees collect nectar and pollen.
