“I just wanted to tell you how much positive feedback I got from the 3rd-grade teachers and students. We were able to see a few more mason bees leave their cocoons behind today. That was really special!! We can't thank you enough for driving all that way to share your incredible expertise with bees with us. We LOVED it!!”

“Thank you for coming to our school and getting there early. When you got to hear the bees through the vent thing it sounded like a hundred bees were about to get out and sting you. You guys are right, we need bees and fruit, and honey bees are very good to our world. ”

“Planet Bee is the best! My students absolutely LOVED the activities, and have been talking about bees ever since the workshops. They all want to help bees in every way they can; 3rd-5th-grade Eco-Heroes are fully taking on the responsibility to save their bee friends.

“I am so happy that my class got to experience the Planet Bee presentation. They learned so many interesting facts about bees. It was presented in a fun, age appropriate way that was engaging to all students. They talked about it for weeks after and were so fascinated with the facts they learned, we had to do a unit on it. Wonderful lesson, wonderful artifacts (the observation hive was really fascinating), and fun activities. The presenters worked really well with my kids, even a few who have special needs. Thank you for everything Planet Bee, it was amazing!”

I support Planet Bee because they turn science into wonder. Their dedicated educators inspire students to truly notice and care for all bees that sustain our food and ecosystems. Planet Bee creates meaningful connections between people and pollinators, helping communities understand why bees matter and how we can protect them. Through engaging lessons and hands-on experiences, they spark curiosity, stewardship, and hope for the future.
