Sweeten Your Learning Fun About Bees
Are you getting ready for a unit study about bees? Maybe you're celebrating World Bee Day or enjoying a bee-themed event? Perhaps you'd like to take your learning fun to the next level and need some printa-and-go activities for science?
Well, I think you're really going to love these free bee printables!
Through the years, my boys and I have enjoyed learning about bees (and other pollinators) as part of our relaxed homeschool science time. Our exploration usually happened after a nature walk or seeing a a bee buzz around the flowers in our yard. Naturally, that led to all the questions—what do bees do, how do they make honey, can all bees sting, and so on.
My two younger boys and I recently saw several bees buzzing around the apple tree in our backyard. After our observations, I decided to put together this printable set to help them extend their outdoor experience. Over the next few days, they had a blast using these free bee printables as part of our homeschool morning time.
