Organize Your Work
In this lesson, you learned how Coal Country BeeWorks is raising bees on reclaimed mine lands, as well as the importance of diversity a habitat and honeybee populations. You also learned about the role that honeybees play as pollinators.
Choose ONE of the following questions to answer and use Organize It to outline your response:
- Explain the importance of pollinators in creating healthy habitats, and to our global food production system.
- You learned that honeybees are uniquely adapted to serve in the role of pollinators. What are some of these adaptations and how do they help the honeybee and/or the plants they pollinate?
- You learned about two kinds of biodiversity during the lesson. What are these two kinds of diversity and how are each important to ensure the health of honeybee populations?
