Today we got to choose a story on Kiwi Kids News, read about it and blog it. I chose to read one about bumblebees surviving underwater. It turns out queen bumblebees can stay underwater for up to a week because when they go underwater their bodys carry a very thin layer of oxygen even whilst they are underwater which allows them to breath, they slow down their bodys so much so their bodys uses up less energy. It may help them survive wetter winters and springs, when flooding happens more often.
