The Geography Bee

The Geography Bee is an educational competition that tests students’ knowledge of world geography, including countries, cities, landmarks, and geographic concepts. Participants answer oral or written questions that challenge their understanding of global locations, physical features, cultural regions, and map skills. Organized annually in schools and nationally in the United States, the Bee aims to promote geographic literacy and awareness of the world. Contestants prepare through study and practice, with winners often earning scholarships and recognition. It encourages critical thinking about the world's diverse landscapes and cultures, fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding of global geography.
