Two boys took advantage of the pandemic and isolation by deciding they were going to help the planet in some way. They realized that bumble bees need to pollinate and that they are in trouble of becoming extinct. So they decided to throw a party that took place over several cities and planted all sorts of plants. Bumble bees don’t like to fly far distances so it’s best that they have something nearby that they can go to.
Key Takeaways:
- Two fourteen year olds had people gathering together to plant trees and shrubs for bumblebees.
- Pollination is crucial for agriculture and this is what these boys are trying to protect.
- Bumblebees can fly shorter distances than other bees, so they need plants nearby to pollinate.
