Homeschool Garden Club - What is feeding our bees this week?

This is week 25 of our academic year, and here is what we found in our Orchard Training Homeschool Garden that is in flower and feeding the bees and pollinators.

Both plum trees have come in to flower this week, the "Victoria Plum" that fruits early summer and the "Mirabelle de Nancy" which fruits when we return to learning in September. Do we count these as one - plum or do we count them as two very different food sources. I will leave that up to you.

We are using this pictorial evidence to be inclusive, not everyone taking part in the survey can write, very well at the moment, and some have not learnt all about graphs nor the name of the plants, as yet. Once we know what we have, we are going to gather the information together in to charts and graphs and see where we have gaps in the garden over the course of the year. We will be using both our mathematical knowledge and IT skills to make the records present the data. I am looking forward to finding out the results.
