Facultative symbiosis
For the direction I am following for the next few weeks I want to look at a new symbiotic relationship. Facultative symbiosis ( when the species live together by choice). I want to look at how the bee chooses a flower to live with, they pick one specific type of plant to live their lives feeding from.

I think this image has no body to it and is not something I would like to explore further. The richness of the content is lost in the white background. Unlike the flowers that stood out and were very impactful. I have explored the idea of adding a graph to show the actual decline of the
