Agricultural Literacy Curriculum Matrix

A picture book teaching children about pollen, the pollination process, and bees.  The story follows a baby bear who is allergic to pollen. He learns how pollen is used by other insects and animals such as spiders, butterflies, honey bees, hummingbirds, and more. This book can be added as an extension for lessons about flowers and pollination to help students see additional benefits and uses of pollen.
