Bee Collection Cups

Mollard and the new kid assist Dr. Oktay with collecting bee specimens. They put the cups, yellow, white, and blue out in a straight line facing south from the lab.  The cups are filled with water mixed with dish detergent.   

They'll be left out overnight.  The cups, not Mollard and the new kid.

Today, Anjali, Gigi, & Seeweed collected the contents of the cups.

Spotted Knapweed

 Here are two very good links that Kelly Omand of the Nantucket Conservation Foundation sent us yesterday.  She spotted some growing here by the lab and the Jr. Rangers swung into action.
