Lesson Plan: Beekeepers and Scientists Join Forces to Protect the Pollinators
Grades 6-8
Scientists first identified colony collapse disorder in the 2000s. The phenomenon has caught the public’s attention. So did a fact few realized: honeybees play an integral role in the national food supply. One result of awareness about colony collapse disorder is a new concern and respect for the honeybee. But the mystery of what’s happening to the bees has only deepened over time. This lesson plan moves beyond concern for the agricultural importance of honeybees to explore the role that pollinators play in ecosystems. Students will learn how pollinators support the sexual reproduction of plants and healthy ecosystems.
