It is designed for the UK education system but it should adapt. It is superb. It gives pictures of British native bees (and other insects) so you'd need to replace them with your own native bees (solitary and bumble plus the tropical bees we don't have). The language is English English of course and the activities are designed for the British educational system (National Curriculum) so may also need some adaptation. Resource lists would also need to be localised. Hopefully the package could be inspirational. It has been here. The redesigned portable observation hive is excellent and available from Thornes to UK standards (National), though like any carpentry, can be made up by anyone skilled enough. They might make a Langstroth version for you. -- James Kilty :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
