Today was the eighth session that I have had with the students. Similar to yesterday, today’s focus was on bee hotel construction. The majority of groups now have the basic frame of their bee boxes built, and many are now working on adding the nesting materials to their structures. Some are working on painting the outside of their hotels. Most groups should not have a problem with finishing the project prior to spring break’s beginning, but a few may need additional assistance. The diversity throughout the designs is shocking, and no hotel is like another. Fortunately, Harrisonburg City was generous enough to donate mulch, so we are getting set up for the pollinator garden portion of the project. The next step will be to find plants to use.
