Laws have been an essential component to the peace and stability in society. The United States have been involved in some of the world's most significant treaties and agreements, but for the welfare of the country, the Civil Rights Act is arguably the most influential. It was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, but many political and historical figures including John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks aided in this monumental movement. Undeniably, it was for the greater good and has changed history, but “The Secret Life of Bees” proves that there are always downsides to something seemingly beneficial. The laws were extremely controversial, especially in the Southern side of the country, so there were bound to be consequences.…
These adaptions allow functionality for a bumblebee to operate and survive as an individual and as a worker to ensure hive productivity and population prosperity. Moreover, looking at bumblebee physiological adaptions it is evident that the specie possesses a large array of adaptive qualities. A bumblebees stinger is a prominent defensive adaption, the stinger of a bumblebee is an adaption of a “ovipositor” a common organ possessed by insects that functions as a tool to lay eggs in a precisely desired designations, However the bumblebee has adapted this organ into a sharp needle like defensive tool that aids in protecting a potentially threatened hive by injecting apitoxin through stored venom sacs in the bees body. Bumblebees also possess a unique wing and fur adaption used in the process of pollen gathering.…

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.…

Aethina Tumida, Small Hive Beetles (SHB), is native to sub-Saharan Africa, and it is a regular pest to the African subspecies of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera Linnaeus. Be that as it may, the beetle has been located outside of its natural habitat, where it is known to cause extensive damage to the plethora of colonies of the European subspecies of honey bees. In 1996, the small hive beetle was first sighted in the United States across a variety of states. There is no clear answer to how the beetles came over to the United States, but a multitude of people have the belief that the SHB first settled in Florida, and as the beekeepers from Florida migrated across the United States, the beetles followed. A. tumida is an invasive species and is causing many damages to the beekeeping…
What do you think of when you hear the words, “butterfly”? Do you imagine a small, majestic, winged creature that you often see fluttering around the garden or backyard? Yes, I thought so. But that’s not how everybody may see monarchs. Farmers, gardeners, and even you depend on butterflies!…
Misunderstood, treated, and taken for granted. One of earth’s greatest assets is deserting its domain. Collectively, humans around the globe need to take responsibility for the declining honey bee populations, and aid in their rehabilitation by limiting human and natural impacts on its richness. Bees are commonly known for their role in pollination, as well as producing honey and beeswax. Impacting biotic life to the extent that this decline will lead to death among species that have come to rely on them with their lives, bee populations must be stabilized and then have its species aided back to self-sustainable levels or their absence will lead to extinction of more than just one species.…
Introduction Oviposition is described as one of the final steps in reproduction in insects. It includes the deposition of mature eggs onto an object that is outside the body of the female insect (Saunders 2003). Where and how the organism oviposits depends on the behavioral aspects of different species. Another factor that can influence the oviposition of eggs involves the release of chemicals. The Diving Beetle chooses plants that have readily available food for their newly hatched young.…
Extensions of the Honey Bees Honeybees help produce 35% of all food in the world and have been around for millions of years. Yet, in recent decades, the honeybee population has been decreasing dramatically. On average a beekeeper will report 20% of annual losses, up to 90% on some occasions. Researchers have found that several factors have been causing the decrease in the honeybee population; a loss of habitat, introduction of new chemicals into the ecosystem, increase in the hive size and the rapid spread of diseases. Loss of Habitat…
Have you ever wondered how Monarch butterflies are able to migrate from Canada to Mexico. To give you an idea they migrate 2,500 miles. Well today I am going to be explaining their life cycle.
