We have a partnership with Pollinate MN and are able to offer a limited number of field trips that include an in-hive bee lesson. Students will get to put on bees suits and enter the hive area at our farm. This field trip will require an additional consent form and will be at least 90 minutes long. Are you interested in the bee lesson as part of your visit to the farm?
