Milk Carton Experiment
By Colin, Dennis, Jonshair and Chris
Question: What Blue Mason Bee box will produce the most bees?
Procedure: ¼ white ¼ chocolate ¼ chocolate painted black ¼ painted black on the back. We would rather not use paint since even though its not toxic, it will still get in the soil.
Data: Look at each milk carton in sunlight & find out witch is
darkest.
Expected Results: We believe that the darkest bee box will attract the most bees. Dr. Thorp said that bees like dark places to build their nests. The darker they are on the outside, the darker they are on the inside.
Conclusion: This spring we will find out which is best.
New Questions: How many bee boxes will the bees go into? Will the bee boxes help the farmer? Will the bees stay in the bee boxes we built? Will rodents and raptors destroy the bee boxes or bump them over?
