Kia Ora Koshik,
ReplyDeleteWell done for attempting this SLJ activity, 'Bee Informed' and for attempting to fill in the blanks provided on the SLJ website. You seem to have correctly filled out a couple of these facts, such as the second fact and the fourth however you seem to have missed the fifth fact. If you can tell me the correct meaning of 'bumble' as well as the correct percentage that the bumblebee can carry and include the fifth fact with the spaces filled in, then I'll be able to reward you with full points.
I'll keep an eye on this post, but don't forget to respond to my comment so that I know you've gone and edited this post.
Cheers,
Jordan
