Overview

Life cycle is a series of changes that a living thing goes through from the beginning of its life until death. The life cycle of a honey bee is a fascinating journey marked by distinct stages. There are four stages in the life cycle of a honeybee. They are eggs, larva, pupa and adult. These stages are of different durations according to the breed or type of the honeybee. The model acts as an interesting and informative guide for the Students of grade 10. With the help of this model, students with visual disabilities can better contemplate the concept of life cycle of honeybee.

1. Start exploring the model from the Top. You will find the title of the model written in braille, ‘Life Cycle of Honeybee.’
2. On the middle part of the left hand side of the model, you will find another braille labeling written as ‘Start’. From right there you will be exploring the four stages of life cycle of honeybee. The braille labeling of the name of every stages are placed below each cycle.
3. The alignment of the life cycle is in a clockwise direction.
4. Just above the labeling ‘Start’, you will find a hexagonal egg cell in which eggs are kept.
5. Moving towards right, you will feel a snake like shape which is the Larva stage of Honeybee.
6. Moving slightly down towards the right hand side you will find Pupa. On the structure of Pupa you will figure out its wing and head.
7. Moving slightly down towards the left you will find the structure of honeybee.
8. Thus, these four stages together make the life cycle of honeybee.
