Activities for Youth groups

We have some great value sessions for youth groups. So if you are involved with Beavers/Cubs/Scouts, Rainbows/Brownies/Guides, Woodcrafters or other local youth groups, take a look at how we can help to inspire and educate your members. All prices quoted are inclusive of travel expenses within Leeds postal code area. Note that prices may increase if you have particular tailored requirements that involve additional planning or equipment/workshop materials.

We have plenty of other activities that we offer to families, adult groups, schools and more… just head over to the activities hub to bee inspired!

What’s the buzz

Bee Inspired Eco Education can come to your club to provide an eco education workshop. This can be tailored to your pupils age, ability and needs. BIEE will deliver an engaging session learning in a fun and interesting way about bees and other pollinators.

First, we start with an introductory presentation and quiz. Everyone can show off their knowledge and polish up on their pollinator facts. We will bring in a demonstration hive (no live bees) as well as various beekeeping tools and equipment to explore.

After an energetic game to get everyone buzzing, we get stuck in to an activity carousel, including honey tasting if requested. Then, we round up the session with some inspiring tips to help to protect our pollinators and planet. Sessions start from £35/hour, £60 for two consecutive groups in the same venue, £90 for three (eg Beavers/Cubs/Scouts).

Spot-the-queen

As part of What’s-the-buzz, during the summer months (May to September), we can also bring in a live observation hive to your session. You will wonder at the intricate and amazing workings of the honeybee with this glass-sided hive. Also, if lucky, you may even spot the queen laying an egg as she carries on with her all-important job.

The bees will be fully enclosed (nothing flying) in a glass-sided hive so the children can get up close.

Spot-the-queen sessions are only available if you book for 2- or 3-hours (can be consecutive groups in the same venue). Two hours from £100, three hours £130
