World Bee Day - 20th May
On World Bee day help to highlight the importance of bees to the environment and humankind with these useful resources which can be linked to a variety of subjects for different age ranges.
They include activities to help identify different species of bee and bee pollinated plants through to resources looking at the decline in bee numbers and why this is of concern. For secondary pupils there are resources looking at bee behaviour, how bees are classified and taxonomically ranked, and some mathematics activities which use bees to introduce Fibonacci numbers and sequences.

Resources suitable for primary pupils are at the top of the list whilst those suitable for secondary and post-16 students are further down.
