Bug Camp Day 4 - A Visit from a Beekeeper!

As you might have guessed, today we learned all about bees! We were lucky enough to have a local beekeeper, Amron Frazier, come and talk to us. He taught the kids all about beehives and how the bees make honey. The kids even had a chance to look at a colony of bees through a glass window. They were able to spot the queen bee! At the end, everyone tasted a spoonful of delicious honey!

Testimonials

"Thank you!...My daughter really LOVED owl camp! She still talks about it and has a new found love for owls."
-Nicole S.

"My 2 girls did bug camp this year and had SO much fun! They have continued to talk all about bugs even weeks after camp ended. They have told me a number of interesting facts about bugs and insects and are still talking about camp. Bug Camp was so much fun that we turned right around and signed up for Rock Camp. It was another great week that we are still talking about! Thanks Cristina!"
-Kristin B.

"Miss Cristina taught four of my children from 1st-3rd grade. The summer camps were so fun and educational. They got so in-depth, they became experts in whatever they were studying. She teaches them how to learn and ask questions. My kids loved each one she did during the summer."
