My Project

Bees are some of the most important critters on our planet. In fact, bees are responsible for almost one in every three bites of food we eat! Without these striped insects, we'd be in serious trouble. That means it's our job to protect them and teach future generations how to do so.

Please help me give my students the opportunity to do a hands-on experience of the importance of having bees in our environment.

Flower seeds, planters, and pots will help me make this lesson come to life. Please help me teach my class about helping our world.
