Bees play a vital role in our ecosystems, and Illinois is no exception! In this hands?on, creative class, students explore the importance of pollinators through art and science. Participants will create a bee model, create origami honeycombs, and craft native Illinois plants while learning how bees gather pollen and support life in the hive. The class ends with a fun surprise that celebrates one of the bee's most important contributions and leaving students buzzing with excitement!
