30、 located in the Alsace region, have noticed that the bees there have been making honey in many strange colors. The bees have been returning to the places where beehives (蜂房) are kept and honey is made with different colors coating their bodies. The colors then end up contaminating the honey. A recen
31、t research showed that a nearby M&Ms factory is behind the change in color. Waste from the factory has been exposing the bees to a number of chemicals.

40、ment, the birds have waterproof (不透水的) feather, and large bodies with a thick layer of fat under their skin.

41、ities. During the 19th and 20th century, seals were hunted for their valuable skins and oils. The entire population of the species was driven to the edge of dying out. Thankfully, their number has continued to thrive (兴旺) due to the efforts of some organizations. Seals spend most of their life in wa
42、ter, but they must return to land to breed.WhalesUnlike other wildlife of Antarctica, whales do not breed in this region. However, they take advantage of the nutrient-filled waters here. Every summer, these giant creatures moved to Antarctica from their mild breeding waters in the north. Like seals,
