The National Geographic Bee is an annual geography contest for American junior high students. It is sponsored by the National Geographic Society and is structured much like the National Spelling Bee. Competitions are held in local schools, then in regional schools. Every May, each of the state winners participates in a national competition in Washington, DC. The competition's moderator since its inception has been Alex Trebek, of Jeopardy! fame.
Teams from all over the world compete every two years in an international geography contest. The most recent competition was held in San Diego, California, in 2007. Teams from 18 countries participated; the winning team came from Mexico.

What do you have to study for the National Geographic bee?
I placed 3rd in the New Hampshire State Geography Bee last year, 2012, and it was the first year I participated in school or state. This is the last year I am eligible, so I will try to go to Nationals, and the top 10. First, I bought a lot of books. Some good books are: National Geographic Collegiate Atlas of the World* National Geographic Family Atlas of the World National Geographic Student Atlas of the World* The Geography Bee Complete Preparation Handbook: 1,001 Questions & Answers to Help You Win Again and Again!* ` How to Ace the National Geographic Bee* Geography Bee Demystified* Geography Bee Simplified An Almanac such as National Geographic Kids Almanac 2013* The Complete Idiot's Guide to Geography* The National Geographic Bee Ultimate Fact book: Countries A-Z The books that are marked with a star are the books that I have. They are all really good resources. I also have a notebook where I always write down a new fact so I don't forget it. You should try to keep up with current events. A lot of the questions are from current events from the previous year. So if you are preparing for the National Geographic Bee 2013, you should keep up with events from May 2012 to March 2013. BBC World News has good current events. Try to watch the news, not local news, but world news. Do not cram. Try to read a lot of history since a lot of questions sometimes involve some history. Tackle different topics each day. In school you need to know mostly about the U.S. and somewhat about countries. In states you also need to know about the U.S. and a lot about different countries. In Nationals they haven't asked questions about the U.S. for the past 14 years, only about countries. Know major cities, rivers, landmarks.
