SAVE THE BEES! Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has been killing beehives since 2006. It is characterized by worker bee disappearance, which is fatal to the hive. The cause is unknown but likely multifactorial. Pesticides, diseases, parasites, habitat loss, and poor nutrition are all possible contributing factors. Students will perform experiments in pollination, build a bee house, plant their own Bee friendly garden, create a beeswax kitchen wrap, and make a honeycomb candle. Can you help save the bees?
