Yay! I got that one correct.

I will go with:

c) That no other bugs or critters seem to prey on the honeybees

 

[kurchatovium]

The correct answer is A) That there seem to be at least 3 different species of honeybees Of course the is the usual honey bee with an orange abdomen and little black stripes but I have seen a black bee with orange stripes and a black and silver bee and even a little mini bee about a 1/3 of the size of a regular bee. All very odd but interesting.

Next Question.....

Life on this Earth is a delicate balance. These days everyone seems to be paying attention to Carbon Dioxide levels which certainly are important. What other molecule does kurch think we should be paying attention too?

a) Nitrogen

b) Methane

c) Oxygen

d) Hydrogen

 

[milagros317]

I will go with:
b) Methane

 

[kurchatovium]

The correct answer is C) Oxygen Everyone worries about CO2 and global warming but no one seems to care about oxygen levels. Hemoglobin and Oxygen are in equilibrium if the oxygen levels get to low hemoglobin does not take up oxygen as efficiently. Normally oxygen is 21% in the air. If this were to drop to 18% many animals would have trouble breathing. At 16% all animals using hemoglobin would likely die. 😱 So plant a tree. 😀
