Observation Notebook

4/1/2013

Observations about our world is what science is all about. Since I don't speak bee, this is my most important way to know how my hive is doing. You can learn a lot about bees just by watching them. Next time you see a bee, try asking yourself these questions to guide your observations.

Check out that bee!

How many legs does a bee have?
What color is the bee's head?
Do you notice any strange about the bee's back legs?
How many joints does each leg have?
What colors do you see in the wings?
Do bees look soft?
If this is an insect you should see three parts to the main body. Can you find them?
Can you see a stinger?
What color flowers is the bee visiting?
Is the bee visiting the same kind of flower?

Staring at the dancing bees in an observation hive, it hits me. I love how these tiny creatures communicate. It looks like they're having fun dancing around while telling their sisters where to find some nectar.

I created this site to share what I know about these amazing creatures such a tiny creature has such a complex way to carrying out its purpose. And it all looks so simple. It reminds me that God takes care of the smallest details as his creation dances.

So here goes. Join me on an adventure with bees. I hope we can make learning as fun as the dancing bees informing their sisters of sweet nectar.
