Learn about bees, their habitat and how to interact with a swarm in this Wild TV video segment.
In this video segment from WILD TV, learn about bees and the different techniques for handling them.
Students will learn about various types of bees and wasps. They will also learn about the job of a pollinator, and how bees/wasps benefit gardens.
Bees are an extremely vital part of life on this planet. In this video segment from QUEST, explore the huge impact these small insects have on our civilization.
Students observe physical characteristics of flowers and explore principles of pollination. Pollination is important in producing our food. Pollinators, like bees, are one example of a natural resource used in agriculture.
This activity is a presentation of honeybee anatomy and behavior.
Students in Grades 3 & 4 at Chain Exploration Center developed an understanding of the important role that pollinators play in human food systems as well as in native habitats. Students also learned about the stressors, many of them human-influenced, that are associated with the decline in pollinator populations. Students also learned about ways that humans can improve pollinator habitat. The culmination of student learning was an environmental stewardship project: the installation of a pollinator garden on the school grounds. What follows is an outline of the project process and a discussion of the resources that were used.
An interview with biologist Gro Amdam, one of the members of the group that brought us the bee genome. Hey just what is a genome and could bees hold the answer to aging? In this show we learn the answers to these questions and why researchers are buzzing around bees.
