Bumblebees
Posted by rayeli on May 7, 2008
Well I did my Goss on Bumblebees. There are 250 different types of bumblebees worldwide. The Bumblebee has a cousin called the Honey bee, which people confuse her with the bumblebee. Unlike its cousin the Bumblebee is gentle and slow. T he bumblebee is round and furry and does not look anything like its cousin. Bumblebees live in small nests so they don’t swarm inside its home. Not all Bumblebees have a sting, Drones [The smaller bumblebee] have no sting at all . Bumblebees do not make enough honey for commercial use just enough for there young. Pretty much if you had to choose living with either the Honey bee or the Bumblebee the bumble bee would be better off because the honey bee is very protective and very aggressive whereas the Bumble bee is far from aggressive.

Hey Eliza!,
Gr8 goss’. There was some great facts about the bumblebee in your goss’, especcially the amount of types of Bumblebees! 250, that’s amazing!
If it were up to me, I wouldn’t live with either of them, even if they die after one sting, it still wouldn’t be……… cosy?

Eliza, you got some pretty amazing facts on bumble bees. I can barely belive that there are 250 types of bumble bees. I’m glad that not all of them have stings.(I much prefer the Drone.) I’m sorry that along with the rest of the class called you Emily.That was pretty embarising.:)

Great goss!!!!!!!!
I really did not know most of the facts you had in the goss Eliza. It is great how you added in about the one you should pick to live with.
I learned lots of great facts!!!
Really great goss!

Hey Eliza,
Your goss was really awesome… I never knew that there was a difference between the honey bee and the bumble bee!!! I wonder who was game enough to find out so much about bumble bees ( they may have been stung a few times!).
Great Goss
