This week's challenge is to investigate bees.

I was buzzing when I found out that there are over 250 different species of bee in the United Kingdom. Isn't that amazing!

The bees love the lavender in my garden. Go outside and spend some time observing the bees in your garden. What do you notice? Is there a particular flower that they are attracted to? Why do you think that is?
