Where we travel

Princeton, Keremeos, Hedley, Merritt and the Similkameen Valley. We also travel to Vancouver, Kelowna and the Okanagan and beyond — travel quoted.

What it costs

$150 half-session, $250 half day, $400 full day. Travel beyond 60 km estimated below in Step 3 — Vancouver & Okanagan trips get an instant estimate.

Lead time

Ten days minimum so allergy and consent forms clear.

Prefer to visit the bees? Book an apiary workshop. Want to start in class today? Free online kids’ lessons. Not sure which visit fits? One short request form.

Step 1 · Pick your days

When would suit you?

Write the days that work for you — a week, a month, or “any Tuesday in November”. Tuesdays to Thursdays, at least ten days away, work best. Mark confirms the day with you, so sending this form doesn’t book it.

Step 2 · Session length

How long do we have you for?

Step 3 · Travel estimate

Where are we coming to?

The first 60 km each way from the Princeton yard are on us. Beyond that, travel is estimated at $0.75/km for the round trip. Final quotes are confirmed personally — booking several schools on the same trip can share travel costs.

No travel charge
