On your blog type out the four ‘Un-believable Facts about Bumblebees’ and fill in the blanks for each one.

2. Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 1.1 kilometers per hour (km/h).
3. Bumblebees can do more work and carry more pollen than other bees, including honeybees. In fact, they can do In a glasshouse one bumble bee can pollinate up to 450 flowers per hour times as much work as a normal honeybee.

• Carrot cake
• raspberry chocolate
