A Monument to Bees

Group 1

Did you know that without bees we couldn’t have pizza? Bees deserve a monument because you see bees every day, like every day in the spring or summer. They’re actually more important than you think, and they don’t always want to sting you. If you have flowers in your backyard, they will visit and pollinate them because they’re pollinators. Pollinate means when you move one part of the flower to another flower, it’s called pollination. Bees like nectar, and when they go to flowers to get nectar, pollen sticks to their bodies, and then they accidentally take pollen to other flowers when they’re getting nectar. A bee monument would be made out of recycling, like clump all of that stuff together to make a sculpture of a bee. It could also be made out of flowers, and then it could be flower-scented. The monument would combine these ideas, with a recycling base that holds the flowers. The recycling would hold the flowers together and the statue together.
