Get a bee’s-eye view of sustainability
Bees play a vital role in the Earth’s ecosystem, and Minecraft for Education brings this to life in their virtual Bee Farm. Students will become immersed in the fun as they explore the anatomy, life-cycle, habitat and behaviour of bees in this epic new Minecraft world.
There are also great opportunities to enhance STEAM learning in the classroom, with 11 brand new lesson plans built around the agricultural world where these incredible insects do their crucial work.
