• Today, our @gen2050youth Bats, Bees, and Butterflies team worked on their project @patchofheavensanctuary. They had a great day! Below is a comment one student shared when asked what she wanted her peers to know about her experience today: “Before the bee inspection I was more worried than usual, so I practiced mindfulness before we went to the apiary. In the bee inspection I had a wonderful and challenging time. It took lots of mindfulness and self control during the inspection, yet it all paid off at the end. In the first hive I felt fine because we were only adding a queen excluder and supper, yet in the second hive I was more anxious because of all the bees. With Pastor Linda we lifted the lid that the bees were building on, and at that point mindfulness was my best friend because I felt very tense holding so many bees. After a while I felt more peaceful and had a wonderful experience. Overall it was very pleasurable working for the bees because I know that we were all helping them in every way possible.” #STEM #gen2050🌎 #nature #entomology #honeybee #apismellifera #womeninbeekeeping #mindfulness #insidenatgeo #outdoorclassroom #environmentalstewardship #education ( 📷: @immforgiven_ and @patchofheavensanctuary )

  • GEN2050 Summer Camp begins on June 17! We are so excited about the new STEM projects we will be working on! @patchofheavensanctuary a brand new 20’ by 30’ Greenhouse is under construction and chickens have been added to the Apiary. Did you know the chickens will eat small hive beetle larvae and other insects that are considered pests to the honey bee colonies? Our Bats, Bees, and Butterflies Project is going to be amazing!!! #gen2050🌎 #chickens #atalabutterfly #mexicanfreetailbat #floridabonnetedbat #greenhouse #STEM #youthdevelopment #natureclassroom
