Field Report From Owen

Today we started off at the town hall like usual at the town hall. On 22^nd of june (2016) at 9:25 AM the temperature was 61 degrees F. Mr. Lenny told us we would be focusing on bees today. Yayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love bees.

Today we had an additional instructor named Shay. Shay was studying bees for a citizen’s science initiative. Specifically, would bees live in a bee box wrapped in burlap or one that was naked. She has six bee boxes in Gothic, three with burlap, three without. This morning on the way back from some bee boxes, we saw a bee in the psithyrus family. We think it was a bumble bee.

When went on our walk, I identified six flowers. A lupine (blue bonnet), a mountain parsley, an Alpine Avens, phlox, showy milk weed, and a geranium.

This week we studied bees with Shay. 

Collecting data.
