Nectar robbing

Some bumblebees cheat by collecting nectar from a plant without entering and pollinating the flower. This is known as nectar robing.

Do Bumblebees sting?

Bumblebee workers and the queens can sting, and their stinger is smooth - not barbed like that of the honeybee - so they can sting more than once.Bumblebees will not die if they use their sting, whereas honey bees will.Foraging bumblebees tend to avoid flowers recently visited by other bumblebees, although they will visit the same patch of flowers. Bumblebees will scent mark the flowers - leaving behind a message to others that the nectar is gone. The scent is secreted from a gland in the bumblebee's tarsus. Scent marking reduces the time spent probing flowers without nectar.

Range / Habitat:
There are over 250 known species, existing primarily in the Northern Hemisphere. Hedgerows near orchards provide food and shelter for pollinators like bumblebees.

It felt like I just got burnt under my ribs.I could here the mob of pushing kids. The mud stuck on my legs it stunk like cow poo and I hated it. As I ran I slipped down a hill and I fell into the mud river.  Finally  I could see the finish line but it was to late.  In the end, I came 16th place.

Maui the Legend

         

         

On a big hill was a small pa. At the pa the sun 

went very fast. In the pa lived a very strong  and 

powerful man and his name was Maui. 

So Maui set off to slow the sun.  When Maui got to the hill where the sun set, he had weaved a rope out of flax. He hid behind a rock and waited to see the sun arise.  Just then the sun arise. Maui quickly lasooed the sun and beat it with his hook until it said it will slow down.

That is the reason why the days are long and not short.  Maui lead his people so the world would be better.
