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.
