Giant bees attack Cleveland!



Well not really, its just Scott Prajzner planning his summer research. He will be placing bumble bee hives in the backyards of Ohio residents along an urban to rural transect extending from Cleveland south into rural Wayne County. He is currently trying to decide on where to place the hives. We want to make sure that the foraging ranges of the bees from each hive do not overlap, so Scott created disks that represent the size of the bees foraging range (about 3 km) that he can place on a map of his research area.
