Ms. Wagner & Ms. Kennedy's 1st Grade classroom has been hard at work exploring the wonderful world of honeybees. They made an excellent model of the structure bees build to live in and store honey, called comb. Their comb had bees of different life stages and included worker bees performing various tasks. Like good scientists they had a key explaining everything! It is wonderful to see the connection between the beehives and students at Lab. Here are some pictures of their model comb.
An overview of the entire project.
They even have queen cells (larger cells hanging off the bottom)!
The excellent key to the labels.
The queen's mating flight!
Flowers for workers to forage at.
