Natural Sciences 191CNS20 - FYS - The Buzz About Bees

Bees are an integral part of the natural world around us. However, recent media attention has highlighted the current "bee declines" sweeping our nation. Are bees still in decline? What are some measures that we can do to help populations? We will get to the bottom of this complex issue by exploring the biology of bees. By the end of this course you will be able to think like a bee and evaluate the challenges facing bee populations. Students will be engaged in a collaborative learning environment that will promote critical thinking skills and communication methods.

Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
