PESTICIDE PANIC: LESSON 2 ONE STEP WORD PROBLEMS, WHOLE CLASS 1. It is possible for bees to fly as far as 5 miles for food! A strong colony flies the equivalent distance of flying to the moon every day! If a bee flies 5 miles a day, how far would they fly in a week? 2. A bee can fly up to 20 mph on its way to a food source. The front and rear wings hook together to form one big pair of wings and unhook for easy folding when not flying. If the bee flies for 30 minutes, how far has it flown? 3. A single bee collects 20kg of pollen every year! Pollen is mixed with water and to form a type of bread that is fed to the growing larvae. If, over 12 months, 50 bees collected pollen for their hive, how much pollen will they have collected altogether?
