HANDS-ON SCIENCE IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD
ALL THE BUZZ
“I am so happy that my class got to experience the Planet Bee presentation. They learned so many interesting facts about bees. It was presented in a fun, age appropriate way that was engaging to all students. They talked about it for weeks after and were so fascinated with the facts they learned, we had to do a unit on it. Wonderful lesson, wonderful artifacts (the observation hive was really fascinating), and fun activities. The presenters worked really well with my kids, even a few who have special needs. Thank you for everything Planet Bee, it was amazing!”

LEARN ALL ABOUT BEES
Have you seen the catchy hashtag #savethebees and wondering what that is all about? Are you an experienced beekeeper wondering what interesting creature you saw near your hive? Are you a student working on a bee-related project?
Our experienced entomologists and educators have crafted and collected high-quality information about honey bees, native bees, beekeeping, pest control and how to take action for the bees!

PLANET BEE THEORY OF CHANGE
CORPORATE PROGRAMS
Join us for a dynamic (and fun!) virtual or in-person corporate team-building workshop. We create a buzz as participants bond over hands-on workshops such as honey tasting, a native bee house build, or even a campus bee hive program where team members suit up for a hive-dive as they learn about these important pollinators. We customize corporate team-building workshops to align with your organization’s green initiatives and social responsibility goals!
All proceeds from these workshops fund our educational STEM programs in schools and nonprofits at no cost.
