The Teachers’ Guide to Bees
The Teachers’ Guide to Bees supports teachers who want to introduce a beehive to the school environment.
The guide provides teachers with credible information to ensure teachers understand the obligations, risks and requirements of keeping bees and using bees as a learning tool in a school environment.
The guide also includes useful information for differentiating between managed honey bees, managed native bees and unmanaged bees.
Australian Pollinator Count Learning Guides
The Australian Pollinator Count Learning guides offer a simple and fun pathway to guide students through the ‘ABC’ of identifying insects.
Students can start by reviewing the downloadable Learner Guide or watching the Learner Guide video. These Guides will help them develop all the identification skills they need to become a citizen scientist and join the Australian Pollinator Count.
Once the students have reviewed the preferred Learner Guide, they can complete the quick quiz.
The students can take the quiz as often as they like, referring back to the Learner Guide if they need to refresh their knowledge.
Once they achieve 80% or more, they will receive the Australian Pollinator Count Upload link.
