Did you know that honey bees dance to communicate information? Do you know why bees use hexagons to build their hives? The Honeybee Man, Brilliant Bees, and Show me the Honey provide background information on how honey bees communicate. After their study of these amazing creatures, have your busy bees use colored construction paper strips to build hives out of polygon blocks.
