On the Bee Hotel sign, put this paragraph where the Plants would usually go:
A Bee Hotel is a place where certain types of bees can nest and continue their populations! Bee Hotels provide Mason Bees, also known as Solitary Bees, long-term accommodation. The bee lives in the hotel from an egg, until it is ready to emerge as a fully grown mason bee! Do some research online, and install one in YOUR backyard!
Image Instructions:
Make sure that all your images are high resolution! Search "Bee Picture 4K", (example) download it, then add it to the slide! For the area where it says to put fun graphics, get pictures of plants, the pollinator, or anything else related. If you find a good graphic but the background is not transparent, use this website to remove the background: www.remove.bg
For the image placeholder that is there, please download the pictures below. Once downloaded, click on the image, then in the top bar there should be a button that says "Replace Image". Click the button then continue as you would with a normal image. Crop the image as necessary.
Use the names of the images to describe what is pictured. Exclude "Image" and anything in parentheses
Ex. Pictured: Decurrent False Aster
