A day out learning about bees at CAT – Kids go FREE!
So what’s all the buzz about bees? Come to CAT for the day and discover the fascinating life of the honey bee.
We’ll get to see the process of how honey gets from the comb into the jar, get to wear protective bee suits, light up a bee smoker and get up-close to a live honeybee colony!
Keep your eyes peeled for the queen and watch the fascinating world of bee life close up, including pollen collection, waggle dances and all the stages of the developing young baby bees.
Learn about which foods you like to eat have been pollinated by bees, learn about beeswax and make your own candle!
The day is suitable for children over 7yrs, teenagers and adults (over the age of 18).
With each full-paying adult, we are offering two free child tickets. Is it essential that all children are accompanied by an adult while at CAT.
