Farms are the ideal places to witness biodiversity in action. In this 90-minute field trip, students will discover both beneficial “helper” insects and harmful pests that make farming challenging. Students will engage in organic pest management practices, identify and examine insects and worms, and plant seeds to cultivate pollinator pathways. This workshop allows students to gain a deeper understanding of ecosystems, habitats, and the food chain through the fascinating microcosm of the insect world.

Honeybees play an important role in agriculture, and their health is indicative of the health of our environment. Unfortunately, honeybees are disappearing at an alarming rate, sounding an alarm to farmers and environmentalists alike that something must change. This 90-minute workshop allows students to use their five senses to explore the intricate world of a bee colony. Students will observe the inside of an empty hive, plant bee-friendly crops, and taste the delicious honey that bees work so hard to produce.
