Captivating honeybee show-and-tell with experienced beekeeper

We Bee Keepin’ beekeepers brings this honeybee show-and-tell to you with a mobile hive to entertain and educate children and adults alike. Hear firsthand from experienced beekeeper Jeremy Campbell about honeybee bee biology, beekeeping, and much more.

Jeremy has over a decade of experience with beekeeping and has worked with dozens of bee colonies and organizations across the DFW area – and even spent a season in Australia working with queen breeders. He also has collaborated with the nonprofit Bee Informed Partnership Inc. to improve honey bee health through data-driven research. But beyond being just knowledgeable, he’s also an engaging and entertaining presenter for all ages.

This experience features a mobile observation hive demonstration so your audience can see real honeybees working in their hive safely through glass. The experience is customizable to your group’s interests, but typically runs 1 hour and includes discussion, demonstration, and Q&A. Great for classes, parties, hobby groups, or any event where you want to create a buzz!

Show-and-Tell Logistics

You can host this experience indoors or outdoors as long as it’s above 60 degrees Fahrenheit and reasonably cool to keep the audience comfortable. It requires no special facilities beyond shade for the participants and bees, so can be anywhere including in a classroom, library, church, or a house backyard. Works best for groups of up to 30 participants.

Topics can be customized by request, but frequently include the life cycle of a bee, pollination, how honey is made, what beekeepers do, and what to do if you encounter bees. Honey tastings cover the flavor profile of multiple honeys and what makes them taste that way, explained in a way that fits your audience’s age and interest.

We typically deliver anywhere within the general DFW metropolitan area. Remote locations or other metropolitan areas may be possible with additional fees and scheduling discussions.

For any of the below events, you can pay as a group, or we can set up a link to have your participants pay their share individually.

Schools and Field Trips

We visit schools of all ages! This experience can be great for schools and offered for a couple dollars per child if delivered in rotating class sessions. Most schools find it most successful to deliver a grade level or multiple classes in 15-, 20- or 30-minute sessions. This allows the students a chance to view the bees up close and touch some of the educational demonstrations and equipment.

This experience has been most popular with elementary schools, but discussion can be customized for all ages preschool through adult. Our beekeeper has decades of knowledge and is fantastic at explaining topics in age-appropriate language and responding to questions.

Additional educational activities can also be incorporated to build longer sessions. This has been hosted in several school districts and team is experienced at ensuring proper background checks and paperwork is on file – already cleared to work in multiple districts.
