Current Events 12/7-12/11

Great White Sharks-
Recent studies say that sharks may swim close to humans but not because they want to eat they, its because their prey is near the humans. Scientists figured this out by attaching trackers on them. They did this by luring in the shark with a fake seal and then shooting it with a two darts, one dart to tell the scientists the approximate location and the other to tell the exact location to pick up sound waves when the shark is near by. This has been a very long process, between 200-2008, and the scientists concluded that they myth of the man-eating shark is untrue. My question is, what is the name of the place where a great number of sharks gather?

A) Great White Shark Cafe
B) Shark Cafe
C) White Shark Cafe

Honey Bee Mystery-
A strange occurrence has been happening through out America having to do with the honey bees. The bees have been dying when they leave their hives. Many would think that this is no big deal but for business who grow fruits it is a very big deal. Because, if we didn't have bees to pollinate out fruits then they wouldn't be edible to people, and that would be a problem when you have to sell the fruits. Scientists are still trying to figure out what is happening to the bees but until now its a mystery. My question is, how long do the bees pollinate in the almond fields?

A) 4 weeks
B) 7 weeks
C) 6 weeks
