Winnowing the Pollen

We winnowed the pollen by pouring it from the metal bowl into the pan below.

The fan is on and blows all the stuff that shouldn't be in the pollen onto the white butcher paper. We could see pieces of bees legs and dust and other lovely stuff on the white paper when we had finished.

The bowl of pollen was poured and re-poured four different times in front of the fan before we were finished. Each class member took home a sandwich bag of pollen.

Hmmmmm, now what will I do with that? Many people eat pollen as a health food.....
