Join a Government Canyon's Superintendent and amateur beekeeper, Chris Holm, to learn about the fascinating lives and importance of bees!  It'll be a honey of a program that will get you buzzed about these powerful little pollinators, and you might even get stung with the urge to start your own hive! Bee there, or bee square!

Who Is Invited

This program is best for 2nd - 5th graders, but open to kids of all ages as well; participants under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian. No pets please.

Requirements

Group size is limited to 30.  No pets please.  Minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian. To reduce human impact on the Natural Area, please follow the Leave No Trace principles of outdoor ethics.
