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!

Do remember you have to be a BBKA member - this is open to all schools members and all full members of the BBKA.

If you haven’t already, please get in touch with your local branch/ association to become a schools member
