True of false:

True
The worker bee has many jobs. Name two.
guard bee, fanning bee, scout bee, queen attendant, foraging bee, water carrier, pollen packing bee, propolizing bee
What is one advantage to group living?
More animals to meet basic needs/survive predators
A living thing
Organism
This animal lives a solitary life
sharks, owls, bears, possums, garter snakes...
Put the stages in correct order: Juvenile, hatchling (newborn), fertilized egg, adult
Fertilized egg, hatchling, juvenile, adult
Calm air, food, water source, shelter
A bee's basic needs
What is an advantage of living alone?
Hide from predators easily
Food for only one animal
A major change in an organism's form between life stages
Metamorphosis
This animal lives in a group
Honey Bees, Lions, school of fish, red-winged black birds
This is the life cycle stages of a human
Infant/Baby, child, teenager, adult
These include pesticides, global warming, and humans using too much land
Threats to the bee population
What is one disadvantage of solitary living?
One animal has to meet the basic needs/survive preadtors
The resources and conditions that promote survival in a certain area
Habitat
This bee does not have a stinger
Drone
How are life cycles of plants and animals connected?
Responses vary:
Bees and flowering plants are connected. Bees pollinate flowers, and flowers provide pollen and nectar to bees.
Other connections include that many animals depend on the plants for food and shelter which are basic needs. Without plants, those animals could not survive.
How do bees impact our world?
Responses vary: pollinate plants that provide food for other animals, make honey
What is one disadvantage of group living?
Diseases spreading, group may attract predators, have to share food
A pattern found in data
Trend
What would happen if bees became extinct?
No honey, many plants would not be pollinated and grow, the animals that eat those plants would die off, the bigger animals wouldn't be able to eat the smaller animals. Humans would not be able to eat some animal products
