In this report I will be discussing different causes which contribute to the population change of the snowshoe hare and lynx. The snowshoe hare is known for its constant decrease and increase in population density every 10 years. By looking at why and when they increase and decrease compared to when the lynx population decrease and increase we can see if the lynx depend of the hare as their main source of food. Snowshoe hares population began to drastically decline in 1831, due to the limited…

Varroosis is a disease of Apis mellifera L. caused by the mite Varroa destructor Anderson and Trueman. Essential oils and their chemical constituents offer a safe alternative to synthetic acaricides for the control of this mite in bee hives. The present study was conducted to evaluate anti-parasitic activity of essential oils from Thymus kotschyanus Bioss & Hohen., Mentha longifolia L., Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., and Ferula gummosa L. at concentrations of 1, 2.5, 4, and 5.5 µl/l air for 5…

This article is about honeybees (Apis Mellifera) and how they are beginning to vanish. Since 2006, beekeepers would open their hives to find no bees, only honeycomb, wax, and honey. One- third of the U.S. honeybee colonies died or disappeared during the past winter. The disappearance of bees caused food items in the Rhode Island Whole Foods to vanish on the shelves (apples, lemons, zucchini, and etc.). The disappearance of honeybees has effected the Earth in many ways. People are losing their…

constant buzz across the country from phones and technology we sometimes miss the more important buzzes. The honey bee population in the United States has been declining at an alarming rate over the past decade. The United States should take action to help preserve the honey bee so that there doesn’t end up being a nationwide crop failure. Though many citizens don’t believe that the honey bee crisis will affect them, the reality may leave sting. With the decrease in honey bees and no one taking…

Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is killing off honey bees due to being fed affected High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) with the deadly contaminant. The experiment should be Bruce and his father testing the HFCS in different temperatures and different areas, to see how the HMF forms. For Bruce and his father’s hypothesis: At different areas and temperatures, the HFCS develops the contaminant, HMF. The independent variable of this experiment is the HMF and the dependent variable is HFCS because the HFCS…

many states, in some counties like France and a few Canadian provinces like Quebec have been concerned with neonicotinoids. Neonicotinoids are a pesticide that is used to keep insects away from crops but are hypothesized to be causing harm to the bee populations more specifically the honeybees and the bumblebees. There is a push for a ban of neonicotinoids due to people believing that they are the sole cause of colony collapse disorder. While there is no doubt that neonicotinoids do have…

I am saving the world in my backyard. Now, I know what you’re thinking, and I can assure you that I don’t have a secret lab. My version of saving the world is a little more natural; I raise bees. Bees are important to us because they pollinate the crops that we eat on a daily basis. If bees became extinct, our food source would rapidly disappear. The hive is in my backyard, which never had a purpose besides populating the weed community, but now there is. In the summer of 2010, I went…

Preservation of the Honey Bee Our planet is run by big time corporations such as Monsanto, to mass produce genetically modified fruits and vegetables that produce their own form of pesticides and insecticides which successfully kill and deter said pest. Yet the organisms who’s primary function is to pollinate, unfortunately find their way into the crossfire of the ongoing war of biological interference. The organism most affected by the mass production of GMO’s are the widely spread and…

“Honey bees are unequivocally the most important insect pollinator for humankind” (2012). If society does not take care of its bees then we will not have a future and the best way to do that is through pollen. There are types of amino acids that a bee can only digest them as free amino acids or they would have to be digested from proteins which is found in pollen (Huang, 2012). A piece of pollen contains 20%-25% of protein (Huang, 2012). This satisfies the colonies…
