Project Title: Plight of the Bee

Project Description: Describe the project briefly.
Bees are disappearing and people need to know how that affects them and what they can do.
Rationale: Why do you want to understand or be able to do this? How does it connect to your interest,
passion or future goals? Bees are crucial to providing us with food and keeping our planet beautiful; and
yet they are disappearing.
I would like to design a series of infographics that organize the information surrounding the topic.
This would make it more easily accessible. This connects to my interest in graphic design.
Focusing Questions: Write some questions that spark your curiosity about this topic to both help you
focus and to keep your curiosity engaged throughout your exploration. It should be a mix of open-ended
and closed questions. Click HERE for a guide to EQs.
