Print This Craft

This Honeybee Pom Pom Craft is fun and also a great reminder of how important the honeybees are to all of us. We need the honeybee to pollinate the trees, flowers and plants for our food. Without them we would be in serious trouble, so see what you can do to make everybody aware.

Trivia:

Ninety percent of the 369,000 flowering plant species are dependent on insect pollination. Source: Earth Day Network – What You Need to Know About Bees and How You Can Help to Protect Them
