We are going to \u201cbee\u201d building a bee hotel, but it can also be for other bugs and flies an wasps.<\/p>\n
We are getting help for the bee hotel from the Kilsyth Rotary Club. For this We need items with many holes in them like bricks, leaves, straw\/grass, sticks, wood, slates, lots of wood, logs, moss and lots of other natural objects and un-natural objects to. The next time they came they talked to us about what flowers would be suitable to plant they said that our Bee hotel would be for other small creatures. Like moths and flys and unfortunately wasps. When they left they gave us something called collars. Not a dog collars they were big wooden planks the opened up into a square shape. So today we got these six wood planks and they bend and turn into a squares, and we got six of them, we painted them with white primer paint. So our teacher told two students to get one plank outside, and he showed us how to paint it carefully. Once we\u2019ve done that we will fill it with soil and wild flower seeds. Soon we will be making the bee hotel but we need to get sticks, stones,log extra. We will use that to make the hotel. People will be bringing stuff in for the hotel suck as bricks with holes, bamboo and other stuff. Once it\u2019s done we will look at it and leave. The next step is for the collars to dry then put designs on them then let them dry and get varnished dried yet again and then be made into raised beds for wild flowers to a-tracked bees and not that welcome but wasps next we will build the actual hotel which may \u201cbee\u201d a challenge but we can manage it I\u2019m sure because I\u2019m \u201cbee-ing\u201d positive. We still need to get some things for the bee hotel like tomorrow we are going to go to the woods and collect some stuff for the bee hotel like sticks and other things. We haven\u2019t started to build the bee hotel yet but the bee people will be coming back after the Easter holidays to build the bee hotel with us. Some people will be bringing some stuff in like bamboo and bricks with holes in it. We have been sent out to our homes and soon other places to collect items and other materials that bees and insects can fit through, for example a brick (the brick would have to possess holes within itself to be accepted and put into use.) In the afternoon the class did a bit of design work and started transferring their designs to the pained collars.<\/p>\n Today some of the class started working on our raised flower beds that will be planted with wildflowers for the occupants of our, yet to be built, bee hotel. The Class did a great job with hardly any paint on clothes. They also wrote some notes for their e-portfolio, I’ve put some of these below. … Continue reading “The Bee Hotel Food Court”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6470,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[530798,530776,530864],"tags":[531006],"class_list":["post-6469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-outdoors","category-playground","category-skills","tag-bee-hotel"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/public\/bantonbiggies\/uploads\/sites\/30445\/2022\/03\/16133053\/collars.001.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6469"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6469\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6474,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6469\/revisions\/6474"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/bantonbiggies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
