Virtual Bee School - School Experience

Take a deep dive into the world of bees without leaving the classroom! In this 45-60 minute virtual incursion, students will explore the fascinating lifecycle, anatomy, and different types of bees, learning about the vital role they play in pollination, food production, and healthy ecosystems. We’ll uncover how bees are essential for the crops we depend on and discuss their importance in ensuring global food security.

The program also highlights the unique needs of honeybees and native bee species, offering students insights into how bees make honey and the steps we can all take to support and protect these pollinators. By the end of the session, students will gain the knowledge to create bee-friendly environments and take action to preserve these incredible creatures. Bee School by Beechworth Honey can deliver virtual incursions tailored with teachers, to support specific Preschool, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary curriculum learning outcomes. Let’s bring the world of bees to your students, wherever you are!
