The Use of Stingless Bees as An Educational Tool

Abstract

The use of stingless bees as an educational tool aims to encourage debate on the identification, conservation and preservation of these species through environmental education. By exploring the essential role of stingless bees in pollination and biodiversity, students learn about their importance in balancing ecosystems. Direct interaction with these bees provides a practical and safe experience, sparking interest in the preservation of native species. Furthermore, the work contributes to raising students' awareness of the threats faced by bees and encourages sustainable practices that help in their conservation, promoting a broad understanding of the relationship between nature and society.
