Bee and Pollinator Teaching Resources for Australian Teachers

  • Love Food? Love Bees! Education Resources

    Discover how bees help put food on our tables with these beloved curriculum resources from Cool.org and Act for Bees. Spanning Early Learning through to Year 10, these engaging lessons connect students with nature's hardest workers while building environmental awareness, scientific understanding, and inspiring action to raise awareness and protect vital bee habitats.

Our food supply depends on Bees!

It is estimated that by 2050 the world's population will reach 9.7 billion people. Although this seems a long way away, it is within students' lifetimes.

Most Fruit, Nuts, Vegetables, Seeds, and Livestock Feed production is dependant on the existence of Bees. They are more vulnerable to disease and pests through the overuse of pesticides, herbicides, and modern agricultural practices. Human activity is reducing the habitat and food sources, but we can all do something to help these pollinating powerhouses!

What can we do?

ACT for Bees has put together some great resources and actions that you and your kids can take part in to raise awareness and habitat for these local legends. Please share these resources.More bees equals more food security for all!
