Go outside with a grown-up and draw a simple yard map. Mark flowers, shrubs, old fence posts, natural dead branches, painted wood, and porch rails.

Think About It: Why might the best place for a bee nest be different from the best place for a porch railing?
Grandma’s reminder:
“Carl is not a carpenter. He is a bee with very specific real-estate opinions.”
