A busy spring break ... lots of activity on the farm. This week large patches of purple deadnettle and henbit are blooming and the pollinators are out working. I have seen several bumblebee queens, lots of small butterflies and a few swallowtails (see below). Our honeybees are hard at it and the population in the hives are already increased. I noticed two Eastern Tiger Swallowtails today ... one was in our yard visiting the henbit and stayed long enought for a picture.
Tomorrow is our 8 period day. In Selected Topics we will plant some wildflower seed in flats for the Patriot Pollinator Project. AP Bio will finish organ systems and start on ecology ... transpiration lab will be on Thursday. Computer programming will have their beginner problems checked and work on an animation program.
Back to work, but a long way until the end of school since we had so many snow days. AP Bio test in one month ...
