This program has been settled by experienced teachers, holders of a teaching certificate from the Quebec Government. The educational part is directed towards acclimatation to beekeeping, as well as the development of products and by-products. Visitors can enjoy guided tours and video presentations in order to improve their knowledge. The openning of the bee hive is also available. In the production area, some premises have been fitted up especially to let visitors observe the staff as they work.

A truly "avant-garde" concept was designed and experimented by highly qualified teachers. Under many diversified aspects, the instructive approach combines observation, manipulation and game playing activities. This program is particularly adapted for pre-school, kindergarten and elementary students.
