     let them flower and set seeds.  the bees love those   
   flowers and you can find out a lot about your local   
   bee population by observing who visits.  the flower   
   head doesn't need to be covered to catch the seeds -   
   just keep an eye on them for when the pods start to   
   open.  at that point you can trim the stalks with the   
   pods off and then let them finish drying in a box top   
   to catch any seeds that want to fall out.  after they   
   are fully dried you can knock the seeds out that you   
   want (likely there will be more than you can use).
