Honey Bee Illustrations

Our kindergarten crew has been "busy as bees" working on their drafts of honey bees. As experts we want to make sure that we are looking closely at all the various parts of a honey bee. So far these are some of our third drafts.

Students have been learning an insect chant to aid in their understanding of the parts of a honey bee.
