Summer Learning Journey - Day 2 - Week 3

๐ŸŒฌ️ The Air Up There ๐ŸŒฌ️

Activity 1 ( Bee Informed )
Unbee-livable Facts about Bumblebees


The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word ‘bumble’ means to hum, buzz or move flounderingly.

Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of _54_ kilometres per hour (km/h).


Bumblebees can do more work and carry more pollen than other bees, including honeybees. In fact, they can do up to 50 times as much work as a normal honeybee.

The number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand due to a number of factors, including the wildflowers & Flowering Trees.

This activity is about certain pieces of food I don't like. If there was to be a special sink that would drain down food I don't like, this is what I would like it to absorb:

- Spinach
-Brocolli
- Corn
-Raspberries

  1. Hi Nidhi!

    Happy New Year, and well done on keeping up with the Summer Learning Journey programme - it looks like you've been busy! :)

    Wow! Those are some incredibly interesting bumblebee facts. I didn't realise how hard working those little guys are. Well done on completing 4 of the 5 NZ Bumblebee Conservation Trust sentences. To earn the full 4 points, make sure you fill in the blanks on the third sentence (Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to ____ percent of their body weight in food with them to avoid starvation). Also, have a little read through your posts before you upload them to ensure that everything make sense - you've missed a few words off of the last sentence. Other than that, great work! :)

    I look forward to reading more of your blog soon. Until then, happy blogging :)

    Mikey
