This beehive craft will be the perfect addition to your spring learning. We love teaching about insects, flowers, lifecycles, and so much more. Here are a few fun bee facts!
- Bees are insects.
- They have five eyes.
- Bees can fly about twenty miles an hour.
- We all know that bees make honey, but did you know that bees only make about a teaspoon of honey in their lifetime?
Share these fun facts with your kids! Now, let’s craft.
