GRADE 2: Buzzing a Hive (GEMS Kit)

 

Buzzing a Hive allows your students to explore the complexity of the honeybee’s social behavior, communication, and hive environment. The children learn about bees by making paper bees, flowers with pollen, a beehive, and bee predators. They discover real pollen and nectar in flowers, and examine and taste honeycomb.
