Bee-eater

Alyssa Potts Period 4 22 March 2017 1970s Popular Culture/Music The 1970s pop culture is a blend of both the 1960s and an individual movement impacted by the Vietnam War. It was a pivotal time in history as fashion, cars, movies, TV shows, music, sports, and disco dancing all shaped the coming decades. There was a tremendous amount of growth in the economy in the 1970s with inflation being so high. The 1970s brought the end of the Vietnam War, colorful disco fashion, and a television in every…

city hall, to fight for the right to have bees in our backyards. The biggest opposition to having bees around comes from people that are afraid of them. The truth is that bees will only use their stinger to protect their hive, or by accident. Most bee stings happen when people step on them or swat at them. Bees are mostly docile and passive; they go about their “honey making business”. In fact, most times they are mistaken by the more aggressive wasps and hornets, wrongfully giving them a…

Solidago Canadensis (Canada Goldenrod) is an invasive species found in most of the United States, Canada and recently introduced to Europe and parts of Asia. It grows from August to October, when exposed to sunlight or partial shade, preferring moist environments, that lack trees and can grow well after a perturbation. Mostly pollinated by butterflies, bees and other insects (because it provides pollen and nectar) it is commonly use as bovine food, to produce honey or as a medicinal plant (for…

Termites are small, white insects that lives in colonies underground. These insects mainly feed on wood and use pheromones to follow trails leading to their source of food. Pheromones are defined as a chemical substance given off by an insect, that affects the behavior of other insects or species. [1] The purpose of this experiment is to test the hypothesis, that the tracking ability of the worker termite is impacted by the writing utensils used. One red Vollrath tray with lip, one Office Max…

save the bees and get their species off of the endangered list is to have farms reserved for them their hives. This way they could still fly around and pollinate but have a safe place to produce the honey and stay. Another way that we could boost the bee population is to do what we always do to endangered species. That is taking a couple males and a couple females and have them reproduce. We need to do this to allow the population to go back up to a normal…

There is a good chance you never thought about termites until you needed termite pest control in Frisco, TX. Called the “silent destroyers,” termites can tear through homes in a short amount of time by chewing through wood and other materials that are used to construct them. One of the biggest problems with the tiny insects is that they can infest a home so stealthily that homeowners often don’t know they have them until extensive damage has already been done. Believe it or not, termites…

1) Ans: The two proximate level reasons for hunting mostly orb-web building spiders. 1)The structure of the web: There is a chance of getting stuck in cob-web building spiders rather than orb-web building spiders. This is because orb-web building spider builds 2D structure of web and cob-web building spider builds 3D structure of web. It is easy for a mud-dauber wasp to hunt orb-web building spider as its web is not so complicated in order to get stuck in it. Where as cob-web building spiders…

What the Buzz? Over the last 28 years, the United States bee population has dropped by around one million. In 1989 the United States reached a peak of 3.5 million bee colonies, whereas today we are sitting at around 2.6 million. While the effects are evident, the cause behind them is not. There are many factors believed to be aiding the decline of the bee population, however no one participant can take all the blame. One of the most commonly sought reasons for their decline relates to new…

night of my first fight, everyone from my gym was winning. I was scheduled to fight last, this put my nerves on the edge. The aphorism that my coach shared with me is “float like butterfly, sting like a bee.” This means to move swiftly a if I were like a butterfly and hit hard as if I was bee like a bee sting. After my first sparring match my coach talked to me about my performance. “You need to be on your toes more.” Safo…

occurred in the last one hundred years. Most of them have to do with our crisis with the problem of global warming. Unlike most problems, some of the issues like why bees are vanishing can cause a great disruption in our economy and way of life. The bee population in the United States and in Europe have decreased majorly, leading bees to soon become endangered. In the United States alone, up to one-third of commercial honeybee colonies vanish mysteriously each year. Pesticides, pollution,…
