Each chapter of Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees begins with an epigraph, a few lines taken from various books about bees.

on these plants alone, but researchers realized how crucial the bees were and how much of consumed foods is affected by bees. Bees pollinate plants which kept the both thriving. Without bees, certain plants would die and without certain plants, many bee species have been dying out. “By protecting our pollinators in the forest, we are potentially protecting our food security now and into the future.” (Sarah…

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…

Introduction Background Honey Bees include any bee that are part of the genus Apis. Currently there are eleven recorded species of honey bees, including forty-four subspecies (What-When-How). The main goal of the Honey Bee is to produce honey, which is a process that requires the Honey Bee to find nectar and pollen.

According to a report by the European based agency Bees and Biodiversity, this predicament is raising a lot of ecological and economic questions. Some studies have suggested that as much as 80% of plant species which depend directly on pollinating insects could be threatened by this…

plants and bee added enzymes. Not only are honey bees known for making honey, but they are also pollinators and without them we would lose a lot of necessary things like plants. Honey bees are extremely important for different reasons; however, they are faced with many issues that conflict with their contribution to the economy and the environment. The life inside a beehive is very interesting because of the many characteristics the honey bee acquires and the life cycles of the honey bee.…

Bees pollinate over one third of the world’s vegetation, including tasty treats such as chocolate and coffee, but they’re also the only insect on this planet that are able to produce foods that humans can eat. Unfortunately, these environmental allies have been rapidly dying off in the past two decades. Due to harmful pesticides, this hardworking species are nearing extinction causing an abundance of devastating ecological problems. Luckily, steps can be taken to help stop the disappearance of…
