How Do Bees Make Artificial Cosmetics

Decent Essays
Bees bring a natural way of making sweet tasting syrup to the world. If bees didn’t make or stopped making honey there would only be a man made artificial syrup, which isn’t good for anyone. As long as bees are around there shouldn’t be a such huge need for artificial honey. Even though honey isn’t particularly healthy, artificial honey would be more unhealthy than normal.

Bees help plants and flowers bloom, which in turn lets the plants make oxygen. If bees stopped collecting nectar then the plants and flowers would die off and the plants would have more trouble turning carbon dioxide into oxygen. If plants slowed the process of turning carbon dioxide into oxygen then there wouldn't be as much oxygen and people would have trouble doing normally

    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.…

    Some think that the decline is due to various pesticides and other farming practices. Because of more careful actions, farmers have taken more consideration in their landscaping and experiments have begun to gather more data and to hopefully help the bees. Honey bees are essential to human life. Most people do not think about how much of our food is pollinated or a production a pollination especially from a bee. “Typically, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, these under-appreciated workers pollinate 80 percent of our flowering crops, which constitute one-third of everything we eat”…

    Tragedy of the Commons: Bees and Neonics Pause for a second to envision the environment without bees. It would be a lot less pleasant than the one you currently know.

    When the honeybee lands on a flower and that flower has pollen which is usually located somewhere near or inside the flower, the bee sucks up the pollen, and get the pollen on its body, and as the bee goes to another flower, that pollen mixes with the new flower and then seeds are produced and from there the flower starts to grow when that seed takes root somewhere. Without being pollinated, the crops cannot grow which, for us humans, it means that there will be a serious tremendous amount of shortage for fruits and vegetables. Bees also supply human beings with many different products that are made out of honey. These products include; soap, lip balm, honey. These products are used for medicinal purposes as well as food.…

    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.…

    Jorge, I am in agreement that the loss of honey bees is a crisis that we can afford to just sit back and doing nothing. As you mentioned that honey bees help pollinate crops, and play a vital role in the foods we enjoy. It seems to me that the pesticide industry is helpful to an extent for other insects that destroy food products. However, killing the honey bee population in the process is self-defeating and harms the environment as well.…

    While the loss of bees would have a great impact on the way humans live, humanity would not be doomed without them. The decline in bee populations should not be seen as the end of humans, but for what it is: an unfortunate potential loss of a species due to natural and anthropogenic events. Just because the planet could live without bees does not mean they are not worth saving. Bees do a lot for the human race. Pollination of flowers would not be nearly as widespread and quick if bees were…

    When we head to the grocery store and purchase our groceries we generally do not think about where they come from, or what it takes for them to come from the farms to our refrigerators. Without different flying insects which pollinate flowers, crops and trees, an outstanding number of different crops and foods would be at risk for crisis. Many people do not know about the current problem with our global pollinators, which includes, many different species of bees. Luckily, scientists around the world are trying to prove that chemicals, pesticides and colony collapse disorder may be just a few reason why our global bee population is in decline.

    How Honey is Made Everyone knows where honey comes from, but what many people are not aware of is the process of how it is made. Bees are responsible for making this thick, golden liquid using the nectar from flowers. Nectar is a sugary substance that bees extract from flowers using their long tongues. The nectar is then stored in what is called their extra stomach. In their stomach, the nectar mixes around with enzymes that transform the nectar into a substance that is able to last longer in the hive.…
