Discover the Buzz: Honeybee Lab at Abby’s Organic Community Farm

Welcome to an unforgettable journey into the world of honeybees at Abby’s Organic Community Farm! Our Honeybee Lab is a fun, interactive, and educational session designed for kids (and the young at heart) to explore the fascinating lives of bees, their vital role in nature, and their selfless nature. Perfect for families, school groups, or curious adventurers, this 90-120 minute experience blends hands-on activities, in-field discussions, and a safe peek into a real beehive.

Meet Your Beekeepers

Courtney and Avery, a dynamic mother-daughter duo, have been tending to bees with love and dedication for the past two years. Their beekeeping journey began at Abby’s Organic Community Farm, where they first dipped their toes into the world of honeybees during a hands-on honeybee lab. That experience sparked a passion that’s only grown stronger with time. Now, they’re proud to care for their own hives, nurturing these vital pollinators and harvesting nature’s sweetest reward. Inspired by that first class—just like the one you're reading about—they’re proof that beekeeping is a craft for all ages, from Avery at 8 years old to Courtney’s seasoned guidance.

What to Expect

Our Honeybee Lab is 90 -120 minutes long and offered at 9:30am during April - October and at 1pm from November - March.

Your adventure begins with a friendly greeting from our beekeeping experts who will introduce you to Abby's and share what’s in store. Next, get ready to buzz with excitement as we explore the basics of honeybees! We’ll uncover the secrets of the hive: the mighty queen, busy workers, and laid-back drones. Learn about the bee life cycle and the unique roles each bee plays in their bustling community. We'lll also discover why bees are nature’s pollinator superheroes (think glitter or stickers) and why they matter! Then you'll join us for a close-up look at the bees in action where you’ll visit a secure spot near our hives to watch these incredible creatures at work. It’s a rare chance to see the magic of the hive up close! End your adventure with a Q&A session to answer all your buzzing questions.
