PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In this unit, students learn the importance of bees to a garden, and further that there are many different species of bees (far more than just the famous honeybees) that live locally. Students will design and build bee hotels for solitary bees, and place them outside as a refuge for native bee populations.

WHAT'S INSIDE:
This download comes with a detailed lesson plan and a supply list to gather your materials. We recommend buying materials at least 5-7 days before your class and to plan about 3-4 hours of prep depending on the size of your class.
