[ECOLOG-L] Plant some sunflowers for continental science project
We have just launched The Great Sunflower Project, a community science project with the goal of increasing our understanding of where bees are doing poorly and how the pollination of our garden and wild plants are being affected. We're hoping you will join us by planting sunflowers in your garden. Community, demonstration, and school gardens are invited to participate. We'll send you some free native sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seed and twice a month, we'd like you to time how long it takes for 5 bees to visit one flower on that sunflower. This information will give us an index of pollination that we can compare across the United States. You can see the details about the project and register at www.greatsunflower.org or contact us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do join us! Thanks so much, Gretchen LeBuhn Associate Professor San Francisco State University
