  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

While bumblebees are incredibly strong relative to their size, they cannot pull 1000 times their weight. This is a common exaggeration. In reality, bumblebees can lift and carry loads up to 50-100 times their body weight, which is still impressive but far from 1000 times. The 1000x figure is more myth than scientific fact.
