We´ll go for a bee safari, make seed bombs, plan a bee garden, and build a bee hotel together. You'll learn other actions you can take to save the bees.

Instructor
Born in Montréal, Canada, I have been living abroad for more than 20 years now. I studied zoology at McGill University and completed my Master degree at the same university in Integrated Pest Management. I am in charge of the University botanical garden and teach beekeeping in Costa Rica, where I keep different species of bees. I make my own soaps, creams, deodorant and other products from the harvest of the hive.
