In this webinar, we discuss how to build and grow a Bee Club for your school or organization. Special guest, Beth McCarty, is an educator and Bee Grant recipient who grew her school's Bee Club from the science lab observation hive to a campus-wide effort run through their Bee Club to learn alongside the bees.McCarty's school, Ashley Hall, is located in Downtown Charleston, South Carolina, so her experience is not only in urban beekeeping, but also deals with developing bee clubs over several grade levels. She shows us how to get creative, adapt to different learning levels, and how taking kids into a hive isn't the most important item on the Bee Club to-do list!Find educator lesson plans, resources, and more information about the Bee Cause Project grant opportunities at www.thebeecause.org!This webinar was offered in partnership with our friends at the Whole Kids Foundation.
