Honey Bee Roles / Life Cycle Book (5 minutes)
Find a book that discusses the roles of each bee in the honey bee hive. I like In the Trees, Honey Bees, by Lori
Mortensen, or Flight of the Honey Bee, by Raymond Huber. I edit the book to explain the roles as nurse bee,
house bee, guard bee, forager bee, scout bee, queen bee, and drone bee, so they match the next activity.
