We will cover the basics of getting started, equipment required, dealing with potential pest (yes we will be talking about those pesky Varroa mites!) and disease problems in the hive along with looking at some favourite honey bee plants.We will also cover some tips on how to get your bees ready for winter.

We are becoming more aware of how our actions impact our planet. By starting with little changes at home, we can make a difference! In this workshop we will explore ways to reuse household items and use natural materials to save on waste while making great personal products to use at home and school. We will use fabric, beeswax, herbs, and other materials. Participants are asked to bring along an old tee shirt to make their first item, an upcycled shopping tote for take-aways.

This is becoming a fun tradition for many families at HCP. It is a fun way to make a door wreath using a variety of plant materials provided for you! That saves a lot of gathering and helps focus on the creating! We will be using wire wreaths and lots of boughs and branches to choose from. Participants are asked to bring along a pair of hand pruners (secateurs), if you have some. An adult is to accompany each child/youth due to the nature of the activity.
