ReplyDeleteWell done for completing this task! Bumblebees are very important to our ecosystems. Have you ever noticed how small the wings of the bumblebees are? I find it crazy how fast they fly with such little wings!
I didn’t know bumblebees can do 50 times the work as normal honeybees. Did you know that bumblebee are covered in an oil that makes them waterproof! How awesome is that!
Do you have any favourite animals that have interesting features that helps them survive?
Keep up the great work!
He Whetu Koe! (You’re a star!)
