Bees Argument

BEES
The bee is an extraordinary creature so how can we prevent it from becoming extinct?

First of all the bee does not just make delicious honey but they help our environment immensely.
It is amazing because the bee is unable to see red so the bee uses ultraviolet
light to see colours. The bee uses her straw like tongue to suck up liquid, called nectar.In a special small stomach called a honey sack.
The bee walks all over the flower and gets covered in golden dust this is called pollen. She rolls the pollen into balls and then into a basket then puts them on its back legs. Then returns home with her baskets.
Bee pollen is often referred to as nature's pollen. In fact without bees we humans would have not much more years to live.

How can we prevent the bee and the honey bee from becoming extinct?.Well we need to take action so we can save the extinction of bees. The solution is we need to have enough flowers so bees can keep pollinating and keep at work with there every daily routine which would be getting the pollen and making honey.

Humans are also part of this because bees are dying. humans are using pesticides called neonicotinoids are not only killing the bees but its is extremely difficult for crops to grow.The Varroa mite which is a parasite that attacks bees.They lay eggs inside the bees breathing tubes so that they are unable to breathe hence they die this Called Colony Collapse Disorder or (CCD)

After you read this I hope you understand that bees are important to humans and that we need to keep them from extinction and if you don't believe watch a bee outside and watch the cycle of the average bee.

Fathers Day...

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD.
We had just turned into Turakina beach as the sign read. We drove through the sandy road that almost looked like it perfectly fitted the car. To my left I saw plants that looked like they were guarding something, maybe a cave? We had just found a spot to park. I hopped out of the car and ran down the beach. I stopped in amazement, I could hear massive waves crashing against the beach shore.   


I had an awesome idea I said to Dad “Why don’t we build a hut?”
Dad and I scoured the beach for materials that we could use. I yelled out to dad “Dad, Dad I see a piece of driftwood that would be good”.
Dad helped  me lift up the colossal piece of wood. We dragged it over to where the rest of the other wood that we had found was. From the items that we had found †we constructed a masterpiece of a hut.


I could hear the faint sound of a seagull whistling in the wind.
I tripped on something. I looked down it was a jersey covered in sand.
I picked it up and ran over to the hut. I said to Dad “I have an idea!”.
Dad helped me rip three squares,  it had to be perfect or else it would not stay in the wind. I looked around to see if I could find anything to make a flag pole out of. I saw three pieces of driftwood that were somehow combined. Dad helped me sit it upright. We tied the flags onto the driftwood. We sat the flags next to the hut. There... it looked awesome!


I crawled inside the hut and asked Dad if we could have lunch in there. He said no but I was not disappointed. I looked around again to see if I could find any glass bottles that we could maybe use for a chandelier. The tide was starting to come in so Dad and I both agreed that we should start to head home.


This was a great day and awesome memory of you and me having fun together.


Happy Fathers day Dad I hope that you even joy your day of relaxation and chill…
