Observing Pollinators #NatureBookClub #NatureStudy

July 20, 2019 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

I love seeing bright flowers in the Summer and have loved growing Purple Coneflowers to feed pollinators. Usually bees are the first to come to mind when I hear the word pollinators BUT there are many others. If you haven’t guessed this month’s Nature Book Club theme is pollinators!

We have been learning a lot about bees and pollinators as part of our Botany class. We had planned to visit another homeschool family that have a son who is a beekeeper but the weather and our schedule have not cooperated so far. We want to continue to go on Botany Field Trips and share our experiences when we can.

Places for Observing Pollinators

If you do not have a garden or many flowers at your house then you might need a list of places to go in order to watch pollinators.

  1. City Park that is nicely landscaped
  2. Botanical Garden which offers a wide array of plants
  3. Prairie or Farm Fields having plants and flowering weeds
  4. Science Center or Museum that offers insect display
  5. Nursery that grows flowers and vegetables
  6. Small Organic Farm
  7. Nature Center with indoor and outdoor learning stations
  8. State Park or National Park

Observing Pollinators at Home

Last year we had a Burdock plant that I allowed to grow in our garden just so I could take pictures and document the growth of the flowers and the visiting pollinators.

I was very surprised at the variety of pollinators that visit our “city yard” each year looking for nectar. Of course when I went looking through my photos I cannot seem to locate any in focus besides a monarch butterfly.
