We all know that bees need flowers for their food source - they collect pollen to feed their young and feed on nectar as an energy source.  What else would a bee need?  Of course, they need shelter for constructing nests, such as cavities in trees.  (Speaking of shelter, most bees actually nest in the ground and are solitary.  The European honeybee is unusual since the vast majority of bees don’t make huge hives!)  

Bees, like all animals, also need water.  In this JAM, we will learn how to make a bee bath.  It’s similar to a bird bath, but much smaller and constructed a little differently.  Placing a small earthenware bath (like a clay pot) outside in a sheltered area in summer is a great way to provide a water source for our bees!

PLEASE NOTE:

• We require a 24 hour cancellation notice for Little Explorers Club and JAM Sessions reservations via emailing info@visitthemap.org. Please include the name on the reservation, number of students, date and time of the class.

• Please help create an outstanding learning environment by limiting disruptions in the classroom! 

• Parents are, of course, always welcome to remain in class but should a parent choose to step out, we have provided a seating area just outside the classrooms. Parents and siblings are also welcome to explore our Discovery Room or the rest of the Museum until the class concludes.
