My Behavioral Ecology Project

Hello. My name is Trevor. I'm studying honey bees for my behavioral ecology project. I have always been incredibly scared of bees, and I decided that this would be a great opportunity to learn more about these misunderstood creatures and would help me get over my fear. I have been studying them in my backyard where there are a lot of bees because there is a nest very close to my house. I have also been using the Marin Academy garden a lot to study them, which has been great to be able to go there and connect with nature. I have been noticing a lot about the bees' senses, and about what draws them to certain flowers. I did an experiment about color to see which color they were attracted to and found that they are most attracted to blue and white. When I'm not studying bees, I do a lot of performing arts or just hang out with my friends. I'm not really very athletic so I'm not good at sports, but I like to follow professional sports and play them (though not competitively. That never seems to work out for me). I am interested to hear more about your Biology projects and am glad that we get to do this blog.
