Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will you assist in housing?
ABSOLUTELY! We help worldschooling families find the best housing near our hub. You will be within walking distance from us!
Is it safe for children?
Yes. Safety is our priority. Kids are guided step‑by‑step, with protective gear and close supervision. The bees are calmed with smoke, and children are never asked to climb tall trees.
Do kids need prior experience?
Not at all. The course is beginner‑friendly. We start with simple observation and storytelling before moving into hands‑on activities.
Can parents participate?
Parents are welcome to join us on the first day, when we head out together to look for the hive (and harvest). There’s a small contribution fee per adult to help support the experience.
What will children learn?
They’ll discover how to scout for bee colonies, understand the forest ecosystem, and learn the traditional methods of harvesting honey. Along the way, they’ll gain confidence, teamwork skills, and respect for nature.
