Bee Line
Two branches can spread from the same junction, two leaf veins can meet, and the edges of an open beak can form a narrow opening. For each example, identify two specific lines and the point where they meet. Real objects may be curved, so the game uses straight sketches to make the angle clear.

Why it works
Two branches can spread from the same junction, two leaf veins can meet, and the edges of an open beak can form a narrow opening. For each example, identify two specific lines and the point where they meet. Real objects may be curved, so the game uses straight sketches to make the angle clear.
To describe the direction of a flower, begin with a reference direction. Bee Line uses the sun ray as that reference. The marked angle shows how far to turn from the reference ray towards the flower. Changing the reference direction would change the angle used to describe the same flower.
Garden Sketches asks you to draw a second branch, vein or beak edge. The stated target concerns that marked pair of lines. Beaks use narrow acute targets; branch and vein sketches allow a wider range. This helps connect the angle families to pictures without treating every opening in nature as identical.
Worked example: One marked branch opening is 40° and another is 125°. Which is wider? Compare the openings, not the lengths of the branches. 125° is greater than 40°. The 125° opening is wider and is obtuse.

For parents & teachers
- Garden sketch hunt · 10 minutes. Sketch a leaf, an open beak or a twig junction. Mark one angle in each sketch and compare it with a tester.
- Direction message · 5 minutes. Draw a sun ray and three flowers on paper. Describe each flower using the opening from the same reference direction.
