Description:

This is a great resource that focuses on the Biology and Apiculture of Bees. The curriculum examines the anatomy, physiology, and behavior of honey bees. It includes extensive reading dealing with the history of beekeeping. Agricultural activities with honey bees include:  data collection and journaling, processing honey, extracting wax, and developing bee products. Inquiry and discussion with apiarists, entomologists, and audio and visual lectures and field trips are sources of additional information. A research paper, power-point presentation, or movie will be made by the student to demonstrate their accumulated knowledge as well as products from the hive.
