A Bee Story
A NOTE FROM BREC’S CREATIVE LEARNING COORDINATOR
A Bee Story is a buzzing circus adventure filled with acrobatics, clowning, dance and live music. Set in a world inspired by native bees and Australian flora, the show explores teamwork, sustainability, and resilience in a playful, visually stunning way. With strong Science curriculum links, it’s especially relevant for regional schools, where students live close to the land and understand the impact of climate change, bushfires and the importance of protecting local ecosystems. This award-winning production is a joyful way to spark curiosity, build empathy and explore the importance of working together.
