Bees in the Curriculum

Everybody seems to care about bees these days but how much do we really know and understand?

Written for Key Stages 1 and 2, this teachers pack is a neat introduction to Bees and Minibeasts, Bee Products, The Beekeeper and Pollination.  The online pdf resources pack has three sections containing many usable worksheets. The headings are:

  • Understanding the world
  • Science
  • Science and the environment

We have used scientific section headings for usability. This doesn’t mean a waggle dance could not be a PE lesson, or label design couldn’t become an art class!

This is a free resource and open to all, especially for schools.

Please click on one of the topics below to get started!

                                                                           

A huge thank you to our Bees in the Curriculum sponsor
