In my 4-hours challenge I wanted to tell the story of the decline of honey bees and why it is so important for nature, human health and economy. Researching and writing this story would have taken me no more than two hours, but instead of that I’ve researched and presented my story with an info graphic, the first one I’ve done in my life. So I spent around an hour doing research about this topic and around three hours working on the info graphic with Venngage. I’ve used photos that I already had, and I am not totally unsatisfied with the result taking into account that this is the first time I communicate something in this way.
