Hi MissKathy

I figured it out. What I meant by level 3 ( being a complete newbie

is I had the first 3 "Puzzles" done.
I just kept
releasing bees on Noni Bush until I had enough energy for a lightning strike and than I was able to take down the Knowing Totem in addition to having my builders begin the statue to allow access to firewood

I now have a Master Scientist and an adept Builder with some science and I am working to get them up to speed for the aqua duck next LOL
Thank you for your quick response. I was bored with Fish and Plant Tycoon and this game is a fun challenge!
