Honey Bees Research Paper

To bee or not to bee, how the buzz are scientist going to make an artificial bee? Although honey bees can really sting, they are also natures sweetest insect. Honey bees provide with a delicious golden nectar we call honey, but most importantly they pollinate all of our crops. So how are we going to create an artificial bee without knowing their jobs. Bee’s all have different jobs from the queen to to the worker bee. So how are these jobs done in the first place? Bees have a major role in our environment and to create an artificial we must understand the fundamentals of a honey bees job. One of the most important roles a honey bee provides us with is pollination of our crops, so to create an artificial bee we need to know how pollination works with the bees. Pollination is defined as, “the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organs to the female reproductive organs of a plant” (Gale, 2007). Honey bees pollinate crops during blooming season when plants are blooming flowers before the actual crop is produced. During blooming the bees go to the blooming flowers on the plants and collect nectar. During this process pollen gets collected onto the …show more content…
“One can often determine which animal pollinates a certain flower species by studying the morphology, color, and odor of the flower. For example, some flowers are pure red, or nearly pure red, and have very little odor. Birds, such as hummingbirds, serve as pollinators of most of these flowers, since birds have excellent vision in the red region of the spectrum, and a rather undeveloped sense of smell.” (Gale, 2007). So in order for an artificial bee to be effective for pollination scientist need to study the morphology, color, and odor of flowers that most honey bees go to. This is something important that needs do be done so when the pollination is done it is done correctly and
