The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word. The word ‘bumble’ means to hum, buzz, or drone.
Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometers per hour (km/h).
Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 90 percent of their body weight 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 40 - 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 extensive use of pesticides.

Hi Eva,
ReplyDeleteGreat work! I didn't know Bumblebees were so interesting and clever! When I read this information, I realised that I don't see as many Bumblebees now as I used to. It's sad that the population is decreasing.
I loved the part of the article that said "When they return from a successful foraging expedition they run excitedly around in the nest for several minutes before going out to forage again." How funny!
