Eco-school

Here at Yamada Bee Farm, every summer we invite children to the Bee Farm and allow them to experience firsthand what bees are like in our "eco-school."
Since its inception, the eco-school has continued to have a high number of participants.
In 2005, 8 schools were held from June 4 to August 8, where over 450 children and their parents came to Kagaminocho and the surrounding areas.



At the eco-school, students observed bees, extracted honey, and made candles. Children may be a little frightened at first when bees are flying about beehives, but after understanding their mysterious nature and learning more, their interest grows rapidly. The voices of energetic children can be heard as they watch the beehives and honey extraction on the usually quiet bee farms. Their experience of letting a bee fly into their hand or of tasting honey that they extracted is sure to be an unforgettable experience. We hope that a child's experience at the bee farm teaches them that we are one part of nature living together with many other parts.
Children have fewer and fewer opportunities to experience nature. As a result of nature’s worsening condition and changes in individual lifestyles. We hope that the next generation of children can learn "to live together with nature," "to respect life," and "to connect lives" through all of these experiences. We believe it is our responsibility to provide them these experiences.
