Honey Bees & Pollinators (1st Grade+)

Join us for a fun spring experience, right at the beginning of growing season!

• Learn about the parts of a flower
• See a working hive in action
• Discuss the various types of bees
• Do the bee dance
• Discuss the life cycle of a fruit plant

At Riamede Farm, our educational tours will engage your students’ minds while addressing various New Jersey Student Learning Standards. 

Our knowledgeable staff will guide students to make connections between farming and the food they eat, outline the process by which food is grown, discuss the operation of a working apple farm, teach about pollination and plant growth, and describe how climate impacts farms and our food supply.

After the tour, students will be able to answer several essential questions:

1. Why are pollinators important? 
2. How do bees do their job? 
3. How do fruits and vegetables grow? 
4. What is the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?
