Once again, we begin a New Year with the previous year’s National Geographic Society National Geographic Bee questions. As always, the questions start off on the easy side and become more difficult as the year progresses, and then get easier once again as we move from the state preliminaries and finals to the national preliminaries and finals. We ask for your patience as this progresses, as not everyone is at the same level in answering the questions. Thanks for participating!
