Busy Bees

We need bees!  Bees have proven to be vital pollinators and most of the food we eat depends on bees in one way or another.  Learn about the fascinating biology and social structure of honey bees and take a closer look at honey bees at work through the glass wall of an observation hive at the Coastal Discovery Museum.  Through hands-on experiences learn more about and get a taste of what honey bees make.  Make your own beeswax products to take home and enjoy.

These hands-on, after hours classes are NEW in 2019!  Programs vary seasonally.  Come learn about local art, culture, and environment - from the experts - AND take home something that you helped create.

Appropriate for ages 10 and older.  Cost is $15 per person and reservations are required by calling 843-689-6767 ext. 223.
