Bee-related Activities for Youth Groups
We have great value sessions and activities for youth groups. So if you are involved with the Scouts, 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.
Special discounts are available for consecutive sessions that are held in the same venue. This means that it is better value for you to co-ordinate Beavers, Cubs and Scouts sessions (or Rainbows, Brownies and Guides). Note that prices may increase if you have particular tailored requirements that involve additional planning or equipment/workshop materials.
As well as activities for youth groups, we have plenty of other sessions that we offer to families, adult groups, schools and more… just head over to the activities hub to bee inspired!
Short workshops
What’s-the-Buzz?
Let the enthusiastic team at Bee Inspired Eco Education come to your club to provide an eco education workshop. We have plenty of experience to make this session fun and engaging while delivering vital information about how your young people can help pollinators and the planet.
We can adjust the workshop session to cater for different ages, abilities and needs. You can be assured that the BIEE team will deliver an engaging session learning in a fun and interesting way about bees and other pollinators. After our activities for youth groups, everyone will come away buzzing with facts and inspiration!

Fun Activities
Lots of bee-related activities to enjoy
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 a carousel of different activities, 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).
Longer (or multiple) workshops
Spot-the-Queen
As part of What’s-the-buzz, when the bees are active 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. 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 your young people 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
