         Life in the Trenches

There was nothing glamorous about trench life. World War 1 trenches were dirty, smelly and riddled with disease. For soldiers life in the trenches meant living in fear. In fear of diseases (like cholera and trench foot) and of course, the constant fear of enemy attack.

Trench warfare WW1 style is something all participating countries vowed never to repeat and the facts make it easy to see why.The British and the French recruited manpower from non-belligerent China to support the troops with manual labour. Their most important task was digging the trenches in WW1.

140,000 Chinese labourers served on the Western Front over the course of the First World War (40,000 with the French and 100,000 with the British forces). They were known as the Chinese Labour Corps

Anzac biscuits have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) established in World War I. The biscuits were sent by wives and women's groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation.

bumblebees

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.

CROSS COUNTRY

First I could see all the kids cheering my name as i ran down the hill . It made me run and run I could not stop. I was cautious that I would get pushed.  Next I got a stitch and I could not move. 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.
