Michael Heile Nelson 3 English 11 Honors April 29 2016 Honeybee Population Crisis Bees are very crucial to our society. They pollinate over $14 billion worth of crops each year (Ballaro and Warhol). With that amount of money you could buy almost 15 new Viking stadiums each year. They are so valuable to our society and if the bee population goes down, the human population will soon follow. Although many people are unaware of the shrinking bee population, scientific evidence has proven it to be a major problem.…
"The Case of the Poor Man's Bees" In “The Case of the Poor Man’s Bees,” a rich man (John) and a poor beekeeper (myself) are neighbors having adjacent gardens. John argues that my bees are harming his flowers while they are feeding on them. He does not see the bees as a source of pollination and a beneficial source for his plants. As a result of, he asked me to move my bees so that they would stop feeding on his flowers. I insisted that the bees were simply pollinating the flowers and therefore, refused to move them.…
What most people do when they see a bee is they try to kill it, but that is the wrong thing to do bees have it hard without people trying to kill them. Bees are a necessity for humans to live. This essay will be covering three main topics, why so many bees are disappearing, the history behind the reason, and what can be done to stop the issue. The reason why so many bees are disappearing is due to stress that people put on them.…
There are things that people may need to be cautious of before deciding to keep bees, but there are benefits to consider as well. Sue Hubbell author of A Book of Bees writes, “Everyone should have two or three hives of bees. Bees are easier to keep than a dog or a cat. They are more interesting than gerbils” (qtd. in Bishop pp. 1).…
Savannas are bumpy grasslands with distant shrubs and trees. They are normally in a warm climate year round, with only two seasons, very long and dry season and the wet season. Roughly the temperature stays above 70 degrees F all year. This is a generic description of a generic savanna, but the Oregon Oak Savanna in Oregon is no where near generic. The Oregon Oak Savanna is home to many plants and animals that are massively influential on the human race.…
If bees disappeared completely, much of our food would disappear as well. This would cause serious problems for everyone. In addition, bees are an indicator species, meaning they show the first signs of something going wrong in the ecosystem. When an indictor species is in danger, people need to find and solve the problem quickly before the whole ecosystem falls apart.…
The Influence of Literature Banning books for specific ages should be supported to prevent youths from being exposed to harmful content. The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, as well as other sources, include several incidents that impact both children and adolescents in a negative way. Reducing the amount of literature that is available for young aged children can positively influence their behavior in any situation. Although The Secret Life of Bees exhibits the freedom of speech and tools for learning, it should be banned from high school curricula because it includes an abundant number of abusive arguments with foul language throughout the novel that children should not be exposed to.…
Millions of bees are dying off, an average of 30% of all honey bee colonies dies each winter. We rely on bees to pollinate 90% of the world's food and to increase the yield by up to 30%. Many fruits and vegetables would become scarce and prohibitively expensive without the bees. If bees became extinct most of our food will no longer exist and if it did, it wouldn't be very affordable.…
Bees and wasps are one of the common insects; they are common in their color yellow and black stripes; they are buzzing around the people, and if you are not lucky enough they will sting you, and you will not like being stung with a bee. Based on my experience, a wasp stung my ear, so my ear was swollen and I was suffering for a week with swollen ear; I felt like I was an elephant or an elf. After that I started to hate bees and wasps. I registered in the Linc Home Study to improve my communication skills and during my class I watched an article about the bee and the title is “To Bee or Not To Bee “. After I watched that short film documentary, I realized how the bees are important to mankind and to the world; bees are irreplaceable, and…
Honeybees are responsible for one out of every three bites of food we put into our mouths (Vanishing, @ 2:25; Honey.com). Pollination happens by insects and wind (Vanishing, @ 1:45), moreover; bees are directly responsible for pollinating 15 billion dollars ($15,000,000,000) of US food per annum (Vanishing, @11:55; WSJ.com). The neighborhood beekeeper…
These tiny organisms deserve more recognition for their crucial tireless work than received, their declines most often are result of habitat loss, grazing, logging, and agriculture. The declines are caused by human, animal, and plant life, along with natural causes and can be limited by the one species that has the power to do so, humans must consciously realize bees cruciality on life and act to preserve bees existence not only for themselves but for the other modes of life we mutalstically coexist with, on earth. Human disturbance cause for the bee’s decline in population. The agricultural demand for bees are growing faster…
The bee movie review! -The bee movie is one of the movies that I recommend for a lot of people that like to watch stuff with their family.

The movie was produced by Jerry Seinfeld on the 2nd of November 2007, anyone could watch it with their family, friends or when parents want to spend time with their kids. Some of the main characters were barry the bee and Vanessa bloom.…
Although most people know we need bees to produce honey, relatively few people realize the importance of bees for the production of food crops and other agricultural staples. All plants – ranging from agricultural food crops to plants growing in natural ecosystems – require pollination in…
Honeybees have made a major impact on the world, not just agriculturally, but economically. Honey bees are accountable for pollinating 80% of the United State’s fruit, vegetables, and seed crops. More than 100 different variety of plants in the United States are pollinated. The work of the honey bee is essential to the production of $7 billion worth of agricultural crops in Arizona alone. More than $15 billion a year in United States crops, are pollinated by bees, including apples, berries, cantaloupes, cucumbers, alfalfa, and almonds.…
Bees are the world's top pollinators. There are over 20,000 different kinds of bees, and they are unfortunately dying off due to the increase of pesticides. Pollinators transfer pollen and seeds from one flower to another, fertilizing the plant so it can grow and produce food. These insects are responsible for pollinating one third of the world's crops. Bees need to live without these inorganic forms of pesticides, so that they can produce honey and pollinate crops.…
