SCHOOL PROGRAM IMPACT
EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION
Through hands-on education and stewardship opportunities, we inspire the next generation to understand the importance of bees and their vital role in our ecosystems.
We believe in the transformative power of personal connection to nature. Through our environmental STEM programs, we cultivate a future where learners are not only educated about global climate and environmental issues but also empowered to take action.
FOCUSING ON STEM & STEWARDSHIP
High-quality environmental education opportunities can be hard to find. At Planet Bee, we make it easy by combining Environmental Literacy, STEM Learning, and the power of Individual Actions to create a green-minded generation.
Our school program consists of interdisciplinary E-STEM lessons that are in line with the Next Generation Science Standards. Our students learn concepts of biology, ecology, engineering, math, and physics, and even participate in real-life research, all the while exploring how components of the environment and human society are inherently involved.
Studying the science involved in an environmental issue, then taking action to support tangible solutions, takes youth from student to steward.

LEARNING TO HOW MAKE A DIFFERENCE
At Planet Bee, we empower students with hands-on learning and real-world actions. We wrap up every STEM lesson with discussions on supporting pollinators in daily life.
Our 2024 evaluations show that 100% of students want to support bee conservation, with 80% demonstrating a strong commitment to taking action.
Over 80% show an improved understanding of the importance of bees and pollinators to our planet.
CHANGING MINDSETS & EMPOWERING YOUTH
Real-world issues, such as the loss of almost half of our honey bee population every year and the struggles native bees are experiencing, can be daunting for students of all ages. Young people often don’t believe in their own power to make a difference.
The actions students take during Planet Bee lessons to help the bees are simple, tangible, and impactful. These experiences teach young people how easy it is to help, empowering them to do more as agents of change.
At Planet Bee Foundation, we're shaping the green leaders of tomorrow by having taught over 800,000 learners about the vital role of bees in STEM, conservation, and agricultural innovation. Our no-cost Environmental STEM Programs, made possible by generous donors, reach schools, nonprofits, and corporations nationwide and abroad.
The impact of our programs can be seen in students’ accumulation of knowledge and shifts in mindsets.
