Honey bee

The species Callosobruchus maculatus is known to be pestiferous, and has the potential to cause significant financial damage to legume agriculture. In the past decade, significant progress has been made to identity different materials capable of controlling pestiferous insect infestation without causing damage to plants or negatively affecting animals and humans. Herein, we investigate the effects of glucose, ethanol, acetic acid, and sodium hydroxide treatments on the mortality and fecundity of…

out to sting them or their loved ones. Bees sting once and then die; their stinger is simply a defense mechanism. If people learn to not be scared of bees, then they will be less likely to kill them on sight, and more likely to plant gardens full of bee-friendly plants, which could go a long way towards saving these…

Bees are extremely vital to our planets pollination cycles and we would really be in trouble if neonicotinoids were one of the reasons they are being wiped out (Decourtye, 2010). The use of pesticides has started to show a devastating effect on the bee population. The pesticides are being sprayed onto crops and they are being carried or transferred by the bees who end up ingesting them without realizing it (Decourtye, 2015). These neonicotinoid pesticides are able to last longer on plants or…

goldenrod plant species has gone down from eighteen percent to twelve percent over the last 172 years. During this time is is said that carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere has increased from 280 parts per million to 398. The study shows that a bee with a one -third decrease in protein could drastically shorten a bee's life. The bees are one of our key pollinators, and a diet short of…

Bees are one of nature’s greatest gifts; they pollinate flowers, they make honey, and they keep many ecosystems healthy. I believe that we should be putting more effort into saving bees for those very reasons, and I believe that we couldn’t do it without them. The first reason we need bees is that we can’t do what bees can do. Bees have special bodies and body parts to do the job that they were meant to do. Humans can’t pollinate flowers because, even with special equipment, humans would…

After becoming concerned with the decline of honeybees, Freeman decided to turn his ranch into a sanctuary for them in July 2014, starting with 26 beehives to make sure they would stay safe and alive, being a hero to bees, and he is already a hero to people around the world. To get where his is today, Freeman has had to achieve many things, be brave, and he was very confident. Morgan Freeman has many accomplishments from his earlier years. Morgan Freeman had gotten many accomplishments and…

In attempting to determine whether wild hummingbirds are able to learn the refill schedules of flowers based on facilitated colour cues, Samuels, Hurly & Healy (2014) found that hummingbirds in the cued conditions were better and faster at discriminating between the refill intervals. They performed this study since there are not many studies which look at interval timing outside a controlled laboratory environment, as well as not many which remove other cues that may facilitate learning in the…

According to Atkins, Walmart had discussed its bee activities in the 2015 Global Responsibility Report stating: “We have been working hard to [lower the cost of our goods] in a way that also lowers the true cost to society … while reducing GHG emissions and preserving natural capital (oceans, forests…

Drosophila melanogaster has been studied in genetic research laboratories for almost a century. Because the fruit fly has a short lifespan, a simple genome, and is easily made to reproduce in captivity it is a prime candidate for genetic research. (Patterson, et al., 1943) The major behavioral response noted in the fruit flies is that they tended to group together in clusters, as opposed to venturing off on their own into different sectors. D. melanogaster are attracted to food and will mate…
