Bees: Social of Solitary insects

In this program, we can compare social bees with solitary bees. Bumblebees are shown gathering pollen, and their characteristics are contrasted with those of honeybees. Students will learn about the different roles that bees in this society have. The red mason bee is a solitary bee that goes to great lengths to camouflage the nests where individual eggs are laid.
