The Problem

My wish for this project is help repopulate bumblebees. This is needed because, recently, it has been stated the bees are endangered. This causes many problems for the world, as bees help pollinate flowers and help ecosystems thrive.

Our Plan

My plan is to plant as many flowers as possible so that the bumblebees can pollinate and use them to thrive in the environment once more. Also, flower seeds can be distributed to other people in the community, so they can plant their own flowers to help the bees. We will also contribute to the garden for pollinators that is being grown. Step 1- Acquire seeds to plant flowers Step 2- Find a place to plant the flowers Step 3- Maintain the flowers Step 4- Find a way to distribute the seeds in the best possible way Step 5- Distribute seed packets to others in the community so they can plant their own
