We rely on insects to pollinate our crops, enrich our soil,
clean up after us and provide a vast array of materials, which we use to
feed, clothe and shelter ourselves. On the other hand, some insects
are responsible for the destruction of crops and the spread of disease.
This
workshop teaches students about pest and beneficial insects and how they
impact on our way of life. We investigate how some insects can be used
to fight crop pests and eradicate weeds and also explore the insects that
can bite us, annoy us or make us sick. Students will enjoy seeing familiar
insects such as lady beetles, assassin bugs, dung beetles, bees, cockroaches
and more. This workshop gives students the chance to get up close &
examine a live colony of native stingless bees! An excellent workshop for understanding our relationship
with insects and how we interact with them in the web of life. Costs and Inclusions
