“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?” ― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Going to the island I feel as though I was served an abundance of ideas. Maybe not for all students but for me I loved all of it I couldn’t get enough and wanted more to learn. Some majors despised the island while others loved it. In some strangely crazy way, every major was incorporated in this trip whether it be the math to see an estimated time frame to see if plants will grow to the art and seeing the beauty in the surroundings.

 

Being a biology major, there were so many opportunities to choose from when it comes down selecting something to your research liking. While selecting one is hard since there were very few things on the anatomy of the body I am just going to make a sharp left and talk about the second best thing I am good at and that’s botany. This is a very strange field I find myself excelling in due to the fact that I absolutely hate gardening I do not have the patience to keep watering and watching the growth I just want to see the final product as soon as I possibly can.

 

I think both myself and my lab professor already who spoke out at our roundtable could benefit from looking at the restoration of plants due to the hundreds of species of Bees. We could benefit in more than one way we get to see and discover the various species of bees and their interactions around plants. The second best part is that affiliates with how bees play a major role in not just the United States but on the islands along the coast where there are various endangered plants.

 

This research question will raise various eyebrows because we’re talking about bees and plants. They are both deadly and boring at the same time to the point where no one really thinks about these situations and just avoid all topics about these two together. However, this will spark the interests of other staff because it will solve a few answers like how plants continue to disperse and maybe even an answer to colony collapse disorder.
