Description

This program offers curious naturalists a hands-on introduction to the magic and importance of our native pollinators and honey bees This program offers curious naturalists a hands-on, creative introduction to the magic and importance of our native pollinators and honey bees. Over this five-week course, students will learn all about bees, and through the study of bees experience a sense of interconnectedness with all living things. Students will learn the anatomy of the top three species of native pollinators in MA as well as honey bees. We'll lean into art to deepen our scientific studies and learn how to draw the bees we meet by using basic shapes as building blocks for their final forms. We will get our wiggles out and work as a team to use the honey bee waggle dance language to lead our friends in a classroom-wide search for our favorite flowers, and we will combine all we have learned to render a year in the life of a pollinator as a dimensional collage. To celebrate, we will design, construct and install our very own pollinator hotel in the Art Reach Park and sample some delicious bee made treats. This program runs five weeks on Mondays from January 24th to February 28th from 12-1pm and is designed for students ages 6-9. Tuition: $125.00.
