Mason Bee Nature Study

🐝 This unit guides students through the unique life cycle, habitat, and anatomy of mason bees while comparing them to more familiar pollinators like honeybees. Along the way, they’ll discover how these gentle, stingless bees lay eggs, seal their nests with mud, and help gardens thrive—all while working alone!
 
As they build, sketch, read, and explore, children will come away with a deeper understanding of the diversity of insect life and the importance of native species. This is science made meaningful—and beautiful.
 
Welcome to one of nature’s tiniest powerhouses—the mason bee! In this hands-on unit study, your learners will discover how these solitary bees contribute to pollination, how they differ from honeybees, and why they’re essential to ecosystems.
 
Perfect for family-style learning, this unit includes leveled content for preschool through upper elementary, plus STEM, art, gameschooling, and real-life observation prompts. Whether you live in a city apartment or a country backyard, your learners will find ways to observe and care for native pollinators in their own environment.
