Bee Unit Study


"We're busy as bees!" My children now know what I mean by this. We started a little unit study on honey bees, using "God's Marvelous Works, Vo. 1" by Rod and Staff as a spring board. Here are some links we looked at as well:

I have to type up some questions for them to answer tomorrow after their review reading. And I think I'll try to come up with a nifty craft for them to do. Maybe make a model of a honeycomb?
