This class will cover all things honey bees. The class will begin with some basic biology on the main species of honeybees found in the United States and discuss all of the jobs (life stages) a bee will have throughout its life within the colony. Then we will discuss what kind of hives a honey bee can live whether it is out in nature or under human care. Once we've covered the bee basics, we will talk about the importance of bees in our ecosystems and what the students can do to help save them. Students will be encouraged to ask questions throughout the class and they will be given prompts to encourage participation. To wrap up the class we will take a field trip to a REAL hive and see some bees in action (weather dependent).

Teacher expertise and credentials
1) I teach classes about all of the crazy wild animals that we share this planet with and what we can do help them in their native habitats. Earth is full of animals that many people have never seen or heard of before, my classes will cover different regions of the world and the inhabitants that call those regions home. I will ask my students questions such as: what does a binturong smell like? What is a binturong? How many toes does a two toed sloth have on its back feet (hint: it's not 2!)? How high can an African serval jump? My topics will cover information that even the BBC has missed!
2) Why trust me and my animal knowledge? I have a background in primatological field work and I have spent the last 10 years working with wild animals and in conservation efforts to save the species I love.
3) I believe the most engaging and thrilling learning experiences aren't through long lectures but through dynamic and engaging discussions about the topics. Students learn more when they are asking the questions and leading the conversations. This keeps them engaged and they will be more likely to want to do something with their new found knowledge.
4) I get to train wild animals every day; I've trained tigers to show me their teeth, otters to weave in and out of my legs, and sloths to paint!Reviews
