[Grades: 6-8] Students discover how pollinators help ecosystems and how one project turned old coal land into bee habitat. #
This interactive lesson from KET follows Coal Country BeeWorks, a project that restores land for honeybees and other pollinators. Students explore why pollinators matter, how habitat can be reclaimed, and why plant diversity keeps ecosystems healthy. It pairs well with a garden, art, or design project about protecting local pollinators.
