Mountain Mint, Invertebrates and busy bees!

We finally had school after four snow/ice days and slick roads.  We were on an hour delay.  Our last day for students now is June 4th!

In Selected Topics today we worked on invertebrates ... lots of information and discussion on parasites. We had several good questions and comments from students.

My eighth period computer programming class showed me their solutions for the last two qBASIC problems.  All programming classes will be starting Visual BASIC on Monday (which is club schedule).

Warm weather has returned and our honeybees were out looking around late this evening.  Will check them and feed them tomorrow.

I screened and cleaned some of our wildflower seed this evening using my new screens from Christmas ... coneflower, slender mountain mint and hoary mountain mint.  The mountain mint seed were tiny.  I put them in the refrigerator for awhile and will plant later this month in flats.  Picture below is from mountain mints in our garden and farm taken last summer ... slender mountain mint with bumblebee top and hoary mountain mint below.  Spring is just around the corner in southern Kentucky.
