Grade 3: Before and After
Week 1
Boss Tom
Do you know why do the boys what to painting the fence? Because Tom Sawyer is a good exponent, he can describe painting the fence to very attract and try to make hard to get this job, and say this work is good. He will say: “you can go swimming every day but you can’t painting the fence every day, just like my brother Sid wants to do it, but he was not good at painting, so Sid can’t to do it.” Tom use ‘the less you get the more you want features ’to let the boys to work for him, and get a lot of amusing thing. So this is why the boys want to paint the fence. I think that Tom will be a good boss in the future.
Week 8
What happens when the queen bee stops producing “queen substance”?
The life of a queen bee is about three years. When the queen bee doesn’t produce queen substance or the ability of the queen bee to produce queen substance weakens, the bee colony will no longer follow the queen bee, and the kingdom of the old queen bee falls apart and A new queen bee will be born in the bee colony, and the new king will continue to rule the colony. This is a cruel thing, but it is also the rule of the bee world. Scientists often observe bees, hoping to learn useful knowledge and rules from bees. As far as I know, scientists have some gains.
Scientists have discovered that bee colony is democratic. The queen bee doesn’t decide where bees want to fly and where to gather honey. Bees dance in groups, express their ideas through dance, and more and more bees join the dance, which means that this is the idea of most bees, and all bees must follow.
Scientists are doubt that bees don’t fight for each other's different ideas. They always make decisions happily in a beautiful dance. Scientists don't know how the bee colony gathers together and how to be led.
I think maybe it is the queen substance unites the bee colony. It makes every bee calm. What makes me unbelievable is that when the old queen bee doesn’t produce queen substance, there will be bees in the colony that can produce queen substance, and there may be more than one. They need to fight, and the final winner becomes The queen bee, the bee colony with the queen substance began to be peaceful again.
The little bee carries the secrets of nature. I hope I can answer this question better one day.
