The Great Sunflower Project

Hi!
I am doing study of honeybees and Colony Collapse this fall with my fourth and fifth graders, and wonder if fall is an inopportune time to participate in Project or not. Our school is in a small city of northern Arizona (Prescott) and we have access to some local beekeepers- perhaps we could even plant the sunflower seeds near their colonies. I'll also be checking the education forum. Ok, great project, looking forward to it!
