Almond

but the burden falls on the farmers and as they pay more for pollination services. In response, farmers must increase the prices of their yields in order to recuperate costs. Ultimately, depending on the necessity of the crop, consumer consumption will decrease. Within crop industries that rely on the honey bee for pollination, the rarity of the crop as well as the high costs could lead to diminished product sale. Almond farmers hire nearly 45% of the pollination services offered, and the almond industry alone brings in 21 billion dollars in economic revenue to California.The almond plant cannot self pollinate, so without the honey bees, California faces a huge economic hit, and the U.S. loses the export revenue, as it exports nearly 642 million pounds of almonds per year and is the dominant supplier of almonds to international markets. The almond industry in California creates 104,000 jobs throughout the state, which promotes economic as well as social stability. As the honey bee population decreases, it compromises the economic stability within the state, as almonds are the top agricultural export. The increased price of crops dependent on honey bee pollination has already been discussed, but it can also reveal a deeper problem as it affects many different aspects of the economy. Honeybees pollinate legumes specific to certain aspects of the diet of beef and dairy animals. Meat, milk, and cheese compose a large portion of U.S. diets. The increase in the price of the…

Colony collapse disorder or (CCD) is the case that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear and leave behind the queen.…

While watching this movie, I was shocked to learn about sugar and how it metabolizes. I knew before watching the film that sugar was bad for, but I did not exactly know why. The man in the film made an interesting comparison between a 20oz Coke and almonds. Each item both had 160 calories, but they digested completely different. Almonds metabolize slower because of the fiber they contain. Coke on the other hand, metabolizes much faster in the liver and your body gets a sugar high. When your…
