WHAT TO EXPECT
What You Can Expect at Indigo Acres Bee Camp for Kids
Throughout the week, junior beekeepers will have numerous opportunities to suit up, in the safety of our provided bee suits, and learn about our amazing honey bees, local pollinators and the plants that sustain them.
Kiddos that tend to attend camp love nature. We start out with very small colonies and work our way up. Once they realize that they are safe in their bee suits, they are ready to go!
