Bee School was everything I had hoped for. Elizabeth truly delivered an experience for the children and parents. Although, the live bee’s couldn't make it, do to unforeseen circumstances, Elizabeth was kind enough to offer a discount for the next bee school event. The children really enjoyed trying on the bee keeper suits and making their hands on project. She did extra and didn’t even have to by providing a tie dye kit and with that I created a tie dye station for the children. I was also taken by surprise that she brought a surprise guest speaker and he educate everyone on herbal medicine. Based on my experience she did an amazing job and so did her guest speaker. I wouldn’t mind to host another event in the near future. Thank You for everything!

My children (ages 12yrs old, 5yrs/5yrs old) had the best time at Bee school over the summer. It's very hard to find homeschooling opportunities that are educational and engaging for my children due to their big age gap. Well, Bee school did not disappoint! My son had an awesome time and was engaged throughout the entire day, where he often feels bored if the activities are geared more towards a younger crowd. My 5yr old twins also were very much engaged and loved the hands-on opportunity from trying on bee suits, taking apart the hive box with frames and handling various tools that are used in the process. The kids observed the worker bees and the queen bee, and learned about the bees' behaviour and roles. All three of my kids enjoyed learning about the healing properties of the bee derived products such as honey, pollen and wax and making their own herbal salves and of course tasting the delicious honey.

Elizabeth is very knowledgeable and is able to share the love she has for bee keeping with the children in a way that is easy for them to understand and answer any questions they may have in a very straightforward manner.

We are looking forward to another session of bee school this year as my children only have the most fond memories from the experience they had last summer.

My son has also loved insects, and as a science teacher I was so excited to nurture that love by surprising him with a ticket to Bee School. Elizabeth did such a great job of teaching the children (and adults) about bees and all of the amazing things they do for us. My son loved safely meeting some bees, getting to put on a beekeeping suit, and making an herbal salve from beeswax - he asks for it every time he has a boo boo! Elizabeth’s love and respect for bees really comes through in all she does and we’re so glad we got a chance to connect with her.

We love Bee School with Elizabeth! This program is really amazing because it is engaging for the whole family. Children of all ages get to learn the basics about bees and bee keeping, but for those who know more, there are endless opportunities to ask questions and go even further. It is an interactive class that gives kids the opportunity to get close up with real bees and even simulate the work of a beekeeper in a real outfit! In the second half of the class, kid make a honey wax based product infused with botanical and get to design their own label. It is definitely a class your kids won't forget. Elizabeth was also very flexible with the large group, breaking them up into two smaller sessions and making sure that all of the kids had the opportunity to do everything. We can't wait to do Bee School again next summer!

Elizabeth came to our homeschool co-op and led a group of 17 children ages 3-11 in Bee School. All of the children were engaged and asked questions about the bees. Elizabeth was kind & patient with all the children and the parents. She taught everyone about bees and their importance in the world. They liked seeing, touching and tasting the honeycomb. They loved trying on the beekeeper suit & really enjoyed the hands-on portion where they made their own salves using beeswax and other herbs. I would highly recommend Elizabeth & Bee School to enrich any curriculum or experience.

My kids had such a wonderful time at Bee School! They learned so much and enjoyed the interaction; from actually wearing the bee suits, to making their own salve from beeswax and other locally foraged ingredients. The whole day was lovely. We drove over an hour to get there and it was well worth it! We can't wait to do it again. I would recommend this class to anyone who homeschools, or just wants to enrich their child's life with learning about bees in a safe environment that's also fun.

Shout out to Elizabeth, as well, for keeping great order, during the fun filled day.
