National Geographic Bee

The National Geographic Bee is an annual competition for students in grades four through eight in the United States, focused on geography and related subjects. Participants answer questions about countries, cultures, landscapes, and environmental issues, showcasing their knowledge of the world. The event promotes geographical literacy and awareness among young people. It typically begins at the school level, with winners advancing to state and then national competitions, where a champion is crowned. Organized by the National Geographic Society, the Bee encourages students to explore and appreciate global connections and the importance of geography in everyday life.
