Metro Atlanta Beekeepers Association’s Junior Beekeeper programs are unique opportunities for children ages 6* to 13 to experience hands-on learning about honey bees, how they live, and how they make honey.
Participants will learn all about honey bees and beekeeping using a variety of methods before suiting up in protective gear and visiting a beehive with an experienced beekeeper! The day ends after extracting honey from a hive and participants are sent home with a personalized certificate, small bottle of honey, and other bee related goodies.
Advanced registration required. Spots fill up quickly, so sign up early!
