Have you ever wondered...
🐝 How many bees live in a hive?
🍯 How do bees make honey?
👑 What does the queen bee actually do?
🌼 Why are pollinators so important?

You're not the only one, and we're here to help!

What's on your summer picnic table?
🍉 Watermelon
🍓 Strawberries
🥒 Cucumbers
🫐 Blueberries

Honey bees help pollinate many of the foods we enjoy all summer long.
The next time your family shares a meal outdoors, take a moment to thank the tiny pollinators that help make those fresh fruits and vegetables possible.

Teaching children where their food comes from is a wonderful way to help them appreciate the incredible connections found in nature.

Every bee has an important job, and every child can become a champion for pollinators.

🐝 Summer Bee Challenge!
This week, head outside for just 15 minutes and see how many pollinators you can spot.

Look for:
🌼 Honey bees
🦋 Butterflies
🐝 Bumble bees
🌺 Flowers buzzing with life

Snap a photo (from a safe distance!) and share it in the comments. We'd love to see what nature is buzzing with in your neighborhood!

Helping children slow down and observe the natural world is one of the simplest ways to inspire curiosity, and every observation helps build a lifelong appreciation for nature.

Who will complete the challenge first?

What is your burning bee question this summer? 🔍🐝

Kids ask us everything from "Do bees sleep?" to "How do they talk to each other?" and "Do they miss us in winter?"

Our Ask a Beekeeper online forum is a safe, fun space where teachers and students can bring their curiosity straight to our bee experts, for free.

Drop your students' questions in the comments or send us a DM. We might feature them in an upcoming Ask a Beekeeper video this school year.

What if your next summer picnic became a tiny pollinator lesson? 🧺🐝

This July, try a "Pollinator Picnic Challenge" with your kids:
Fill your basket with foods that depend on bees and other pollinators (think berries, apples, cucumbers, almonds).

Make a simple list together: "Which foods are here because a bee visited a flower?"
Share what you discover and tag us, we'd love to see your pollinator picnic!

Moments like this help kids feel how deeply we're connected to the natural world, one bite at a time.

Teacher friend, if June left you completely spent, you're not alone. 💛

July can be a chance to breathe, walk barefoot in the grass, and remember why you fell in love with teaching in the first place.

When you're ready to peek ahead to fall, our Hive Alive Curriculum is here to help you bring that same feeling of wonder into your classroom, without hours of extra prep.
You'll find ready-to-use lesson plans, guided activities, and our free Ask a Beekeeper forum for all your "I 've-always-wanted-to-ask…" questions.

📚 Explore Hive Alive for free at SweetVirginia.org.

Today, as we celebrate independence, we're also thinking about our children's freedom to grow up on a thriving, beautiful planet. 🐝

In a honey bee hive, every bee has a job and works together for the good of the whole. In our classrooms, we can spark that same sense of wonder and responsibility in our kids.

Teachers, our Hive Alive Curriculum and Ask a Beekeeper forum are completely free and ready for you to use this coming school year. ✨
