20% Time Completed Project

20% Time #2

It has been difficult to work on my project. I have been doing research, but the time for research is almost over. I have looked into everything I need to about the bees, honey, and flowers. I need to get to my grandma's house to finish the rest of the project, but unfortunately I cannot do that due to the virus. I do have some questions I wish to ask her when she gets back to my phone calls such as where she gets her bees from.

20% Time Week 1

This past week I have worked at the pace of my calendar, even while being away from school. My calendar has me researching types of bees, so that I can decide which I'm most interested in researching further. I have decided to research the Western Honey Bee. This honey bee is a eusocial flying insect within the genus Apis of the bee clade, all native to Eurasia but spread to four other continents by human beings. It may be a tiny creature, but it does very big things for our ecosystem. A question I have come across is about how these bees communicate and understand the queen bee's directions. When time allows, that will be something I will be looking into. I have bumped into a few challenges so far, all unrelated to the project, but they have impacted my available research time greatly. My goal for next week is to completely focus on the Honey Bee, and officially confirm it as my subject in this project.
This is a picture I found that helped aid me in seeing the physical differences in types of bees/wasps.
