When fire nearly destroyed the Notre-Dame de Paris in 2019, people around the world were stunned. Many think it is the greatest cathedral in the world. It is surely the most famous. People watched and waited anxiously for hours. They feared that the huge church would not survive the fire. Other people also worried about some of the residents at Notre-Dame. It is home to 80,000 bees.%0D%0A%0D%0AIn 2013, the city of Paris, France, decided to help nature by raising bees. The government put more than 700 beehives in places all over the city. Three were placed on the roof of Notre-Dame. Those three hives support many thousands of bees. They produce 165 pounds of honey every year.%0D%0A%0D%0ABeekeeper Nicolas Geant takes care of the bees at Notre-Dame. After watching the wooden roof of the church collapse, he was worried. Then the huge spire, or steeple, fell. He didn't know if the bees could live through the fire.%0D%0A%0D%0AWhen firefighters at last put out the fire, Geant checked the hives on the stone roof near the back of the church. He was thrilled to see bees buzzing in and out of the hives once again. Smoke from the fire must have put the bees to sleep. They stayed in their hives until the fire went out. Beekeepers often use smoke to keep bees calm as they work around the hives. Smoke does not hurt the bees. And in this case, it may have saved them.%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A %0D%0A%0D%0AQuestion 1%0D%0AWhat was special about Notre-Dame when it was built?(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0AIt was all made of stone.%0D%0AIt was all made of stone.%0D%0A%0D%0AIt had beehives on the roof.%0D%0AIt had beehives on the roof.%0D%0A%0D%0AIt had stained-glass windows.%0D%0AIt had stained-glass windows.%0D%0A%0D%0AIt was the tallest building in Europe.%0D%0AIt was the tallest building in Europe.%0D%0AQuestion 2%0D%0AWhich two sentences in the last paragraph explain how the bees survived the fire?%0D%0A%0D%0AWhen firefighters at last put out the fire, Geant checked the hives on the stone roof near the back of the church.
