Bumblebee….(Title Photo)

Dear Readers, we’ve had a lot of tricky quizzes just lately, so I wanted to make this one fun, in honour of World Bee Day (which was on 20th May). So, all you need to do is guess the type of bee from the clues. So, if you think Photo One shows a Mayor, your answer would be ‘Mayor bee’. Some of the clues have more than one photo, so you will have to combine them to make the name of the bee. Some are species and some are just types of bee, so hopefully it won’t be too UK-specific. But let’s see how we all get on!

The song for Question Three is very sad but I think you could guess the name of the bee just from the title, so you don’t have to listen if you’re feeling down-hearted already.

As usual, answers in the comments by 5 p.m. UK time on Thursday 27th May please. Answers will be posted on Friday 28th May. I will hide any answers as soon as I see them, but just in case you might want to write your answers down first if you are easily influenced (like me 🙂 ).

Onwards!

And finally, what’s the bee-related link to these lyrics?

11)

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I’ve been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it’s alright, it’s okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times’ effect on man

Have fun!
