Secrets of the Hive

In this class, we will investigate one of the world's most fascinating creatures, the honeybee! Peering into real hives, we'll get to explore the biology and social organization of this amazing insect. By examining its unique anatomy and physiology, we'll consider how the honeybee's body can make wax and honey. We'll get to look inside the nursery (brood frames) to get a close up look at the honeybee's life cycle. Through hands-on activities, we'll seek answers to a lot of questions. Why do they sting? How do they navigate between sources of nectar and the hive? Class size is limited to 10 students.
