Honey Bees and Colony Collapse Disorder


This week we will be learning about honey bee colony collapse in our Scholastic News.  Learn more about them by reading the links below.

Read the next two or three articles.  Which does a better job of providing information about bees? Are the articles better than the video above?  What are some advantages that the video has?  What are some advantages of the articles?
Learn about the basics of bees.

Can Bees Make Food -- Discovery Kids
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Learn about colony collapse from Time for Kids.
Read about the Honey Bee Mystery -- Nat Geo Kids.
This National Geographic article: "The Plight of the Honeybee" is more advanced that the one in your magazine.  What do you think are the major causes of honeybee problems?

Links we will use in class or for homework:
