Do Bees Pee?

Summary

Do Bees Pee? uses questions about animal waste and ecological reuse to introduce closed-loop processes and circular-economy thinking.

It extends Booth Sweeney's systems-literacy work into the material cycles through which one organism's output becomes another process's resource.
