The teacher wanting to keep bees at school in order to teach about
pollination and biology, might consider setting up a nesting block of
solitary bees. They will not sting unless you actually grab them, or pinch
them, and the sting is not very painful to boot.

She may be able to get bees, supplies and lots of instructions from
Pollinators Paradise http://www.pollinatorparadise.com/

The woman who runs that site, Dr. Karen Strickler, would probably be happy
to help.
