Bees Project

BEES

Bees are great little creatures. Have you ever studied a bee? When a bee is busy collecting pollen it is not worried about you at all. You can observe the bee without getting stung but if you were to annoy the bee it could sting you.

If you like bees or are interested in learning more about bees then this might be a good project for you to do. Some questions are given to help you write about bees. You don't have to answer all the questions. You can just write some answers down. Read the story below about bees. The boy who wrote this for us is 6 years old.
