Approximate Run Time: 45 minutes
What’s the buzz about bees? This program begins with a short presentation that introduces students to life inside the beehive with a look at the honeybee lifecycle and the social structure of a bee colony. After a discussion of beekeeping past and present, we launch into a discussion about the importance of bees and pollination. Students put their understanding of pollination to the test with a high energy relay race competition that challenges each “beehive” team to be the best group of pollinators they can be. This program requires a large space; it is great for a gymnasium or playground.
