Brassica Components

Your Brassica plants will need a place to grow undisturbed from seed to flower. To do this, you ’ll need the following:

• Bottle Growing System – to sprout and grow the plants
  
  
• Light House – to provide continuous high-quality light and a source of heat
  

Pieris Components

Pieris will need different components for different stages in its life cycle:

• Brassica Nursery – for hatching eggs and for feeding the first few larval stages
  
  
• Brassica Barn – for feeding larvae until they become pupae, and for housing the pupae
  
  
• Bottle Growing System and Light House (both from above) – for housing and feeding adult butterflies, and to provide an environment for egg laying
  

Activity Accessories

Depending on the activities you choose to do, you may need one or more of the following:

• Bee Stick – for "To Bee or not to Bee" activity
• Film Can Sugar Feeder – for "How Sweet it Is" activity
  
  
• Film Can Ovipositron – for "Mother Knows Best" activity
