Fun facts
The colony size of an average hive is about 10,000 to 20,000 bees.
Bees will travel up to 2km from their hive to forage for food.
A single bee will seek out up to 2,000 flowers in a day.
There are two ways to tell if store-bought honey is authentic: it should not freeze when left in the freezer, and it should crystallize at the base over time.
The taste of honey is determined by where the majority of the collected pollen comes from.

gardening in the tropics
I've been using the ClicknGrow planting system for about a year now at home and it has proven helpful for indoors gardening where you don't get much sunlight. Currently, I'm using my ClicknGrow like a nursery and transplanting the plants to my school's garden when they are strong enough. This page is a collection of thoughts and things I've learnt from my gardening journey, organised via plant types.
