In This Lesson :

In this lesson, you’ll get a closer look at one of these living things and the special features it uses to survive and thrive in the prairie.

There are nearly 4,000 bee species in North America. In this lesson we focus mainly on honey bees, their quest for making "bread" (food for survival), and their body structure.

BRIGHT IDEA: To help you gather the evidence, as you work, you can highlight text you want to remember. Try it now. Click and drag your cursor over some words on this page and then append your comments or annotations to the highlighted words. (If you’re using a tablet or phone, you can tap on the screen.)

What you will figure out

You’ll investigate the body parts of a bee to figure out how it gets what it needs to survive.
At the end of this lesson, you will make a claim supported by evidence that bees have external and internal body parts that work together as a system to help the bee survive.
Here is a list of scientific terms and internet resources that you may want to reference to help you as you work through this lesson: Prairie Portrait - Educational Resources.
