About the Course
Bees work in a team with 60,000 of their family members! In this lesson, we'll learn about the roles of each caste of bee, and how they share responsibilities in the hive. What would happen to the hive if bees didn't do their jobs? What would happen if we didn't do our jobs at home and at school? How does working together enable us to be more efficient, or increase the survival of a species?
The best part about this lesson - students will role play the different jobs within the hive, including: Guard, Forager, Cleaner, Builder, and Nurse.
