Immersive Bee Experience (Troy, ON)
July 5 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am EDT
Join A Rocha Ontario for an immersive experience exploring the life and importance of bees on Saturday, July 5th!
This 2 hour immersive experience provides an up-close view of a working honey bee colony. Throughout our time together, we will cover a wide variety of topics including: a honey bee’s life cycle, their many jobs in the colony, their importance to our environment (and lives!), and how we can be helping them thrive. We will also learn a little bit about the native bees that we have in Ontario.
This beehive experience is at a tree nursery farm where our bees are kept. It is a gorgeous space- surrounded by young trees, situated near a little pond and sometimes we get treated by their grazing sheep! The farm is located in Troy, Ontario, just 20 minutes outside of Dundas towards Rockton.
There are both hands-on and observational opportunities during these tours. Gloves and suits are available to borrow to get the chance to take a closer look.
Due to the nature of this outdoor visit, wearing tall light-colored socks, closed toed shoes and bringing a water bottle are highly recommended.
This event is open to adults and families. Please note that all children must be accompanied by an adult. Please register below.
Sliding Scale Pricing
We believe in the value of our programs and we know you do too! That’s why we have introduced sliding scale pricing this year; we are happy to have you come at any rate you select. Instead of a fixed fee, you can choose from one of three fee options when registering:
- Subsidized Rate: Choose this one if cost is a barrier to you attending. We are able to offer this option due to the generosity of our supporters, including donors and grants.
- True-Value Rate: This is what we estimate to be a fair cost for the event. It helps us cover costs of staff, materials, and other fees associated with running the event.
- Pay-It-Forward Rate: Choose this one if you want to invest in the future of A Rocha programming and help others be able to come at the subsidized rate.
By offering tiered pricing, we aim to balance affordability with sustainability, making our programs accessible while also providing participants with an opportunity to support their community. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at ontario@arocha.ca.
