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 team of specialized employees lead these tours and are available to answer any questions about the bees or the different manufacturing processes.

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. The workshops are adapted according to the student's age; the puppet theatre workshop is available for the youngest and involves gesture playing.
