Bee Hotel Design
Students colour materials suitable for bee hotels and sketch their own bee hotel design, labelling the components. This worksheet helps students visualise their ideas before constructing their bee hotel, encouraging creativity while considering the practical needs of native bees. It also reinforces design and planning skills by requiring students to justify material choices.
