This critter story brought a tear to my eye, especially hearing how your garden is an homage to your dad. Your descriptions add such charm. My favorite... "I am fascinated by their little lives, especially when they end up snoozing on a flower all night and then wake up as the sun warms them." Ah, too bad about that bee movie. It would have been fun to watch.
I also don't let my students see each other's answers till they answer the prompt. Sometimes I specify that I want them to respond to three other students' comments, in a respectful manner, sharing insights and asking each other critical questions?
"['How do x about y have an impact on z?' Is it possible to write “template formulas” for qualitative questions? I’m a little bit excited at the prospect and a little bit wary of it.]"
This had me reflecting on my logic course back in the day in qualitative statements were converted into convenient variables. Obviously, statements are not questions by definition, but I think there can be value found in taking note in the framework of questions and what types of responses those questions elicit. Of course, this may already be a subsection of experimental/survey design and theory and I'm just too removed from that field to have noticed.
