What is it about Flowers that attracts Bees?
What attracts bees to a flower?
Is it scent?
Is it the colour of the Flower?
Is it the shape of the flower?
Is it by accident that bees choose the flower?
Why do some flowers attract and others not so?
To find the answer we need to make a set of controlled experiments.
Getting started.
We will first need to make some items so that we can have a repeatable and controlled experiment.
What is a controlled experiment?
Well first thing to do is to make sure we are testing only one variable. That is we want to see if bees prefer one colour over another or the flower markings or the scent of the flower. For each test the basic flower will have to be the same.
​
Here (below) are the four steps to get all the things we need to start our experiments together.
