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.
