In-School Field Trips
Description: Why are bees so important? What can we do to protect them? Your students will be buzzing with excitement as they assemble their very own bee house to take home! Students will use a water-resistant wood glue as a fastener for their project. Nails and/or screw will be sent home for parents to reinforce the project if they choose.
Field Trip On Demand
Description: In Bee Houses, your students will join Beeatrice, a solitary bee living in her apartment, as she teaches them about the needs of solitary bees in our environment. From their unique living spaces to factors that are putting the population of these vital insects at risk, your students will be abuzz with excitement as they expand their knowledge and shift their perspective on bees. Your students will also get to follow along with Beeatrice as she walks them through constructing their very own wooden take-home bee house that can be enjoyed for years to come! Students will use a water-resistant wood glue as a fastener for their project. Nails and/or screw will be sent home for parents to reinforce the project if they choose.
