A Canadian man has created quite a buzz with his summer plans. Zach Choboter has rollerbladed more than 10,000 kilometers across Canada to raise awareness of the importance of bees to the environment — and also broke a world record along the way.

The journey, which Choboter called Blading for Bees, began on May 25 in Whistler, British Columbia, and ended on August 23 in St. John's, Newfoundland, on Canada's east coast.

The Blading for Bees website sold hats and T-shirts to help pay for the trip, and the group promises that any extra money will go to organizations that help bees.

"Bees are such a good mascot for the environment," Choboter told CBC News. "If we help them, we help everything."

Before starting, Choboter told Global News that he planned to travel 120-150 kilometers every day, allowing up to 14 days for breaks. His sister Rachel went on the journey with him, driving a support vehicle as he rollerbladed.

However, the trip also included a crash that briefly put Choboter in the hospital not long after crossing the Rocky Mountains.

When the brother and sister arrived in St. John's, they celebrated by jumping into the Atlantic Ocean. On Instagram, they wrote that Choboter had rollerbladed a total of 10,093 kilometers.

Summary
為了提升蜜蜂對環境重要性的意識，Zach Choboter在加拿大各地溜直排輪的距離超過10,000公里，打破了世界紀錄。Choboter稱這趟旅程為「為蜜蜂溜直排輪」的運動（Blading for Bees），5月25日於英屬哥倫比亞的威士拿展開，並在8月23日結束於加拿大東岸聖約翰的紐芬蘭。「為蜜蜂溜直排輪」的網站販售帽子和T恤，為這旅程支付費用，該團體承諾額外的金額都將捐給幫助蜜蜂的組織。
