What's the buzz all about? It's all about Bees of course!


Did you know that August 17th is National Honey Bee Day or that the entire month of September is honey month? 


These fun crafts and bee activities for kids are perfect to celebrate.



Why is it important to teach children about bees?

Bees are responsible for approximately one in every three bites of food we eat which is all the more reason why it is so important to continue to share the planet with such important creatures and ultimately crucial to teach our children about bees and how to protect them.


The best place to get information about bees is from a local beekeeper. A field trip or visit to your local beekeeper can be a highly educational experience.


Not only will your kids get to talk to someone who works with bees on a daily basis, but they'll also get a chance to see how bees live, work, and make honey up close.



Interesting Facts about Bees for Kids
