Pollinators

With this independent learning guide, youth can work on their own to look at key characteristics of bees and differentiate them from a fly or wasp. They'll learn about native pollinators, focusing specifically on the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee, and they'll explore native plants that benefit the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee and other pollinators. Ideal for grades 3-8.
