Introduction “Swedish Scientists Say Mead May Be the Key to Fight Antibiotic-resistant Pathogens" written by the WTOP Staff and published on their website, believe that with the right honey and preparations they can get rid of the more resistant pathogens. In this article, Swedish scientists believe that honey and lactic acids that are found in honey bees can be an alternate source other than normal medication for antibiotic-resistant pathogens. With support testing, they have found that they…

honey bee population. With these numbers and all of the alarming statistics, it is important that we consider both ethical and market approaches to revitalize communities and replenish food supply. Honey bees as a population follow an extremely interesting order to maintain productivity and success within their hives and colonies. Adult female bees are labeled as queens in the hive and only emerge to mate with the adult male drones. This happens three times over the course of their queen bee…

et al., 2009, p. 104). The actors of aggression can be classified into three categories: queen bees, middle bees, and victims. A queen bee is described as a female that is always protecting her status in her interactions with other females, allowing her to be able to be the first to attack should a threat be recognized (Culver, 2007, p. 164).…

High School is a period in adolescence where identities are found within the self by figuring out where they belong in this world. That can be hard especially for teens like Cady Heron in the 2004 movie Mean Girls directed by Mark Waters based on the book Queen Bees and Wannabes which encompasses females in high school cliques and how damaging it can be for development to girls. Cady Heron is a 16 year old who has just moved back to the states after living in Africa for her parents zoology…

The films “Food Machine” and “Farmland” we watched in class were both very educational about agriculture. Food Machine was more of an indirect communication, whereas Farmland sent a very direct message. Both of the films brought life to the production of the foods we consume everyday. They showed their audience how these foods are grown and harvested. The film, Food Machine, scratched the surface of food production. The film was based on some of the United State’s largest places of ag…

To Bee or Not to Bee “According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible” (script-o-rama.com). Large amounts of bees are dying all around the world due to pesticides and fungicides on crops that contaminates pollen they collect. Bees are responsible for the pollination of more than half of the crops…

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…
