Bees

Bee conservation, both for solitary bees and honeybees, is a topic of interest and special concern because of the value of these insects as pollinators. Acorn Naturalists has created an inquiry-oriented Bee Conservation Study Kit focusing on the importance of pollinators. Also in this section are hands-on bee life cycle models, bee puppets for storytelling, children's books on bees, and bee houses you can set out to help soitary bees find suitable places to lay their eggs.
