In this presentation, I was to fill in five sentences with these types of phrases: 50, 90, removal of wildflowers and flowering trees, habitat loss, and extensive use of pesticides, hum, buzz, or drone and 54. Here is my filling in and I hope you enjoy!
● The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word ‘bumble’ means to hum, buzz, or drone.
● Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometres per hour (km/h).
● Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 90 percent of their bodyweight in food with them to avoid starvation.
● 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 removal of wildflowers and flowering trees.
