Design & Build Bee Habitats

Students are introduced to the diversity of Australia’s native bees and explore bee habitats at school. They explore bees’ needs and adaptions, and apply mathematical concepts to visualise bee size variations, to design and build appropriate bee hotels and to map bee habitat. Bee activity depends on flower availability, so in southern parts of Australia this lesson may be best experienced in spring.
