About This Course

This engaging, child-friendly course introduces learners to bees as vital, social organisms and “small friends of nature.” Through interactive explanations and age-appropriate activities, students explore basic bee anatomy, life inside the hive, and the distinct roles of the queen, worker bees, and drones. The course also covers how bees communicate (including the famous “waggle dance”), the bee life cycle from egg to adult, and how honey is produced. Learners discover the essential role bees play in pollination and biodiversity, practice safe and respectful behavior around bees, and identify simple everyday actions that help protect them (e.g., planting bee-friendly flowers, providing water, avoiding pesticides). The course concludes by debunking common myths and sharing fun facts that reinforce curiosity and environmental awareness.
