Not interested in beekeeping but want to learn all about the wonderful world of bees (the AMAZING science, history, math, funny facts, and hands-on learning that comes with it all)? Do you want an experience that might influence your family’s future decisions, such as how they view environmental debates, how to care for creatures in nature, or how to study the incredible world God created? This 6-lesson mini unit is for you! Walk into the world of a beehive and see just how much science and character-building these little gals can teach you! Work ethic, faith talks, and more… see how it all comes together in this incredibly fun mini unit! As always, we are open-and-go with limited prep and no required writing. Our Charlotte Mason-inspired activity options and living story format will help your family learn about bees in a real way (not a textbook way!), and you might just fall in love…with insects! Our Core Connections (OPTIONAL and as a courtesy only) guide your family in connecting “bees” to focused free-writing while learning the literary device of anthropomorphism! Our history connections take you back to Queen Elizabeth II, beekeeping on hieroglyphics, even Mt. Everest… and there is so much more!
Do you want to learn how to actually become a beekeeper? Do you want your family to have an opportunity to connect with nature that they wouldn’t get otherwise? To learn responsibility and mindfulness [we are referring to biblical mindfulness; focusing on God and what He has put right in front of us. Setting down distractions. We do not endorse any new age philosophies in any way]? Or, perhaps, do you want to learn how to harvest some really amazing honey while learning some self-sustaining skills? Maybe you want to help get the family involved in a skill that ‘dad’ would love? This is a must-do! The entire unit (the 6 lessons PLUS the SYW pages) are for you! The SYW pages guide beginner beekeepers, step-by-step, to prepare them for how to begin beekeeping when they are ready, what to look for as they move forward, and how it all works!
