:00:15. > :00:18.exciting news about what could be the first ever Giant panda cub about

:00:19. > :00:25.to be born in Britain. Jenny, what's going on?

:00:26. > :00:34.Thanks. The zookeepers are excited because they believe they are female

:00:35. > :00:44.giant panda, Tian Tian, is segment. And she might get hurt by the end of

:00:45. > :00:50.this month. This enclosure is not wear Tian Tian is. She is being kept

:00:51. > :00:58.away from the public. But, behind me is the proud father to be, Yang

:00:59. > :01:10.Guang. He is chilling out, eating bamboo. Clearly not fussed about the

:01:11. > :01:23.media storm. But this is a very big deal. Because if all goes well, this

:01:24. > :01:28.will be the first ever giant panda cub to be born in Britain. Panda

:01:29. > :01:31.pregnancies are very difficult to confirm. Experts will not now 100%

:01:32. > :01:38.until she actually gets breath. I am joined by the director of the giant

:01:39. > :01:41.pandas. What makes you think she is pregnant? She is spending a lot of

:01:42. > :01:43.time eating and drinking. All the tests we have shows she is pregnant.

:01:44. > :01:44.It takes about three years for pandas to settle into a new home. I

:01:45. > :01:47.am sure she will go all the way through. To get her ready, we will

:01:48. > :01:52.close down the panda house so she has peace and quiet and no

:01:53. > :02:00.disturbance. Pandas are very nice sensitive when they are pregnant.

:02:01. > :02:08.Thank you for that. I am joined by Sophie and Shona. I am very

:02:09. > :02:12.excited... Sorry, we have technical problems with the sound. Loads more

:02:13. > :02:14.on the website. Next to a major nature project you

:02:15. > :02:18.can get involved in. Scientists want your help to record the number of

:02:19. > :02:20.different bumblebees across the UK. It's all because they're worried

:02:21. > :02:39.their numbers are in decline. Here's This might look like a scene from

:02:40. > :02:45.Spy Kids. In a way, it is cause we're on a mission to find as many

:02:46. > :02:48.bumblebees as we can. According to be searchers, bumblebee populations

:02:49. > :02:52.have crashed in the last 80 years in the UK. Two species have become

:02:53. > :02:57.extinct. Scientists are worried that changes to the environment by making

:02:58. > :03:01.numbers fall and they want people to start noting every time they spot

:03:02. > :03:07.one. So far, over 2000 schools have signed up to the big on both the

:03:08. > :03:13.discovery. We're taking lots of pictures of them and then we put

:03:14. > :03:21.those on our blog. Then we write a message and send it. Doctor Helen

:03:22. > :03:27.Roy has been looking at the decline of the bumblebee population. For a

:03:28. > :03:32.whole variety of reasons bumblebees and indeed other insects are

:03:33. > :03:36.declining. Habitat is important. Flowers are important for bumblebees

:03:37. > :03:42.so they can get the energy they need. There has been a decline in

:03:43. > :03:45.flowers. With 24 species of bumblebee in Britain, how can you

:03:46. > :03:52.tell them apart? This is the banded orange tail B. The three banded

:03:53. > :04:00.white tail is also a back garden favourite. You may have spotted this

:04:01. > :04:05.one too. We have spotted around 40 bumblebees in the last hour. All of

:04:06. > :04:09.these will be entered into the scientific study. I think we have

:04:10. > :04:14.bothered the bumblebees enough. Time for us to buzz off...

:04:15. > :04:17.Tomorrow morning on Newsround we'll have a behind the scenes look at the

:04:18. > :04:19.new Hetty Feather musical - based on Jacqueline Wilson's best selling

:04:20. > :04:23.character. And we want you to tell us which book you'd like to on the
