World Bee Day Lesson for 20th May

Why have a World Bee Day Lesson?

To Bee or Not to Bee? That is the question for the class on 20th May. After all, this day is World Bee Day. Not only are bees wonderful animals, they are also vital for our survival due to pollinating the plants we rely on for food. Just imagine that without them there will be no strawberries, apples, tomatoes and many of the other foods we depend on. Learn more about these fascinating and vital insects in your English class with this World Bee Day lesson.
