Bee Education Project
Our Bee Education Project is a creative initiative introduced in schools to help children understand the vital role bees play in maintaining a healthy environment. Through engaging storytelling and interactive learning, students explore how bees contribute to biodiversity, food production, and ecological balance. The heartwarming story used in the project has quickly become a favorite among children, sparking curiosity and environmental awareness.
Developed by Rana Mostafa and Meena Mishra, this program not only educates but also inspires the next generation to care for nature and become young advocates for pollinator protection.
