Honey bee label me printout

 

Bee wordsearch

 

Beehive shape book

 

Bee life cycle wheel

You will need to make 2 circles about 3 inches in diameter out of construction paper.  Now you’ll need to punch out a hole in the center of each.  Make sure the holes line up.  On one circle cut out a “window”, about ¼ of the circle and then write “ The Honeybee’s Life Cycle” on it. They can decorate it if they wish with flowers and bees. This will be the top of the wheel.  On the other circle divide it into 4 equal parts and have the student draw the four life stages of the honeybee.  Place the other wheel on top and fasten together with a brass fastener.

 

 

Bee Facts is an accordian fold book with the answers to these questions.

1. What are the 3 types of bees in any colony?

 
2. What does each bee do?

 
3. How long do the different types of bees live?

 
4. Tell us something interesting you learned that you didn’t know before.

 
5. How do bees benefit humans?

 
6. How do bees benefit the environment?

 
7. How do bees communicate with each other?

 
8. Name the 4 stages of a bee’s life cycle.

 
9. What can we learn from bees?
