Plant now, count bees later.
Over 100,000 people from around the country have participated in The Great Sunflower Project over the last 3 years. And this year you could be one of them.
It's a simple idea for community involvement and participative community education about the importance of pollinators in our food supply.
Plant sunflowers now. Spend 15 minutes twice a month counting the bees those flowers attract and submitting results online.
Then on July 16th, the Great Sunflower Project transforms into The Great Bee Count with everyone submitting their totals on the same day.
Haven't signed up yet? Don't worry. There's still time.
If your inn has a garden, you'll get the double benefit of enjoying the fruits of those bees' labors.
And if you're an extra smart innkeeper, you'll involve your guests in the whole process, producing dividends throughout the year.
