Time for some buzzing bee fun!

Bring the kids along to our 1 hour engaging and educational programs to teach young minds about the importance of bees.

Your kids will:

- get up close and personal with live honey bees from one of the resident Hives at Burnetts on Barney, through a viewing frame.

- learn about pollination, nectar, bee life cycles, how bees make honey, and how we cant survive without them.

- learn about honey bee anatomy by colouring in the parts of the bees.

- learn why it is crucial we keep planting as many flowering plants as we can to ensure all our native and honey bees survive

- get to taste some honey straight from one of our hives.

- try on a real beekeeper suit !

Ideal for primary kids aged 5 - 12 years.

Children should wear warm clothes and closed-toe shoes and bring a water bottle. The workshop will be outside around the cafe area of Burnetts on Barney.

Parents welcome to stay or have a coffee at the Quarry Cafe and make use of the time to do some garden shopping at the award-winning nursery - Burnetts on Barney. Think of all the plants you can take home and plant with your newly inspired kids :)

$1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the Wheen Bee Foundation, a group doing incredible research work on bee and habitat improvement and sustainability
