EMPOWERING ACTIVITY
When bees collect pollen, the pollen does not come from only one type of flower or plant. The bees collect pollen from all sorts of flowers and plants. People are similar, because people come from different parts of the world and have different identities.
On the worksheet, there are several shapes for you to color in.
Click on the worksheet to print, or draw on your own paper.
Color or decorate the flowers and plants in a way that represents something about your identity.
In life, everyone brings something different to the table, and when we recognize and learn about each other's backgrounds, we can fully appreciate our differences.
There is strength in our differences, and we all contribute to our communities in a special way just like bees do!
MATH QUESTION
Fill in the blank
After a colony of worker bees has traveled one-trillion miles pollinating flowers, they will produce a little more than ________ pounds of honey.
Hint: One pound equals 16 ounces
In their entire life, a worker bee will gather enough pollen to make about 0.8 grams (0.0288 ounces) of honey
It takes 556 worker bess to gather the pollen needed to make a pound of honey
The 556 bees will fly about 55,000 miles to collect the pollen for one pound of honey
