Beekeeping At Learning 4 Life Farm
Our beekeeping program is in its fourth year here at Learning 4 Life Farm, led by our wonderful volunteers from KP Honey Farms. Our students are educated on safe beekeeping tasks and learning about the hives and honey bees.
This year, Learning 4 Life Farm boasts three beehives and a new apiary location at the top of our hill on the Farm.
We harvested our own honey this fall, which was a huge accomplishment! We are also selling Savannah Bee Company honey from the Pay it Forward project to help support our beekeeping program.
Thank you so much to Beekeeper Bob Hooker and Mary Hooker for donating our first hives in 2021 and creating and maintaining our honey bee program in for our students on the autism spectrum here at the Farm.
Beekeeping Safety and Protocols at Learning 4 Life Farm and The Learning Spectrum
Every student interested in participating in our beekeeping program is required to fill out a permission slip signed by a parent and read over our procedures linked below. All students, staff and volunteers wear protective clothing while working the hives or observing, and we regularly review bee safety and first aid. Our bees are gentle and rarely sting, but we always want to follow best practices to stay safe! Check out the links below for more about our bee program safety and protocols.
