Young biologists describe the different types of bees that are native to the Sonoran Desert. They look at the nesting and feeding requirements of the insects, and study how they are able to pollinate many plants found in the environment. A fascinating lesson that introduces your learners to many different types of bees, and should help them to better understand the crucial role they play in the desert ecosystem.
