{"product_id":"teb-r33","title":"Life Cycle of Honeybee","description":"\u003cp\u003eStep into the secret world of buzzing hives and see nature's engineering at work with the Life Cycle of the Honeybee resin display. This fascinating resource captures each phase of the honeybee's journey - from tiny egg, through larva and pupa, to the fully formed bee - all sealed in crystal-clear resin for safe, hands-on exploration. Designed for use in early learning settings, this model brings entomology and ecology alive in a way that's both playful and memorable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy this product is beneficial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnables observation of real-life stages of bee development, supporting understanding of growth and change in living organisms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages scientific inquiry and comparison as learners identify differences between egg, larva, pupa and adult stages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds vocabulary and reasoning skills as young learners describe features and processes they observe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects science learning to the environment by opening discussions about pollination, ecosystems and the role of bees.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom \u0026amp; play activity ideas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrange a bee life cycle station where learners match descriptive labels to each stage seen in the resin block.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvide magnifying glasses and ask learners to note three interesting features of each stage and share with peers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse role-play: one learner is the egg, another the larva, then pupa and adult bee; they act out what happens in each phase and swap roles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvite learners to create a comic-strip or storyboard that narrates the honeybee's journey from egg to explorer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuitable age: 3 years and up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Real honeybee life-cycle specimen embedded in high-transparency resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Cycle of Honeybee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEggs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarvae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePupa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorker bee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQueen bee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComb foundation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorker foundation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQueen cell\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeeswax\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoney\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 14 x 6.4 x 1.8 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety information: Made from non-poisonous, odour-free resin, safe for handling in learning spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun fact:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA single honeybee will travel over 100,000 km in its lifetime while collecting nectar!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43256163336305,"sku":"TEB-R33","price":69.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/teb-r33_life-cycle-of-honeybee_v1_2.webp?v=1779316491","url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/products\/teb-r33","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
