I am often asked to bring my observation hive into schools to talk
about bees.  I would like to have somekind of booklet to reccommend
to the teacher to use this oportunity to teach the kids.  A friend
attending Southern States Beekeepers Federation  a few years ago
tells me that they had presented such material co-written by an
extension agent and an elementary teacher.  It had projects to
simulate pollination in class with powders and paint brushes on
flowers.  Any information on this, or other, coursework would be
appreciated.
 
On another note, years ago I received a poster on protecting bees
in the garden by careful use of chemicals.  I believe it was also p
produced by SSBF.  I had it mounted and used it at presentations
and markets until I had a flood in my basement where it was distroyed.
I would like to replace it.  Can anyone help me?
