This spring, the students in grades 3-6 engaged in an exploratory study of honeybees that touched on their physiology, role in the natural environment, and current threats affecting their population today. We read from Gail Gibbon’s The Honey Makersto acquire some background knowledge of the life cycle of honeybees, conducted a honey tasting to analyze the different kinds of honey honeybees can make, and created a three-dimensional model of honeybees to accentuate their significant features. Students were enthusiastic to share their own acquired knowledge of honeybees and continue to learn more about the form and function of their body parts, their jobs in the natural world, and their significance for human beings.
