Bee Gees

Why does that one bee get to stay in the beehive while the rest of them have to fly around all day for nectar and then bring it back to the bee? Why? This was a question that I asked my dad when I was seven years old. He told me that I would have to find that answer out myself. Now, I know why, because the bee that stays in the beehive is the queen of those bees. She’s the most powerful bee in the beehive, and everybody has to obey her. Every bee has to collect nectar for her and deposit it in…

What most people do when they see a bee is they try to kill it, but that is the wrong thing to do bees have it hard without people trying to kill them. Bees are a necessity for humans to live. This essay will be covering three main topics, why so many bees are disappearing, the history behind the reason, and what can be done to stop the issue. The reason why so many bees are disappearing is due to stress that people put on them. For example, in the article “The Head-Scratching Case of the…

“ When the flower blossoms, the bee will come. In the early days, bees were more like wasps, eating other insects rather than nectar & pollen. There are nine stages that a bee goes through to produce honey. The very beginning of the honey process depends upon a queen. Each hive must have a queen. She keeps the hive functioning when the colony is getting too large; the queen will begin laying queen cells. The nurse bees will take care of this cell. Next, comes the mating flight a queen cell that…

Yesterday I was walking down the street when I experienced a minor tragedy; I was stung by a bee. For a moment in my despair I thought, “Oh, how I wish these insects would just die out.” Once the pain went away I realized that the disappearance of bees would be an awful loss. While people would no longer have to deal with bee stings, people would also no longer have flowers. Getting rid of the pain and suffering of the world would not be worth the inevitable loss in beauty and emotion.…

pattern, and for some reason I wanted to hold it. So I proceeded to do what any other 4 year old would do, I climbed on top of my bed and caught the flying bee. This action was unfortunately, then followed by a sharp sting paired with many tears. Many people’s first experience with bees are alike my first experience as it typically involves the bee stinging the person, and because of this people create a connection between bees and pain and develop a fear of bees. For many, bees are small…

average of 30% of all honey bee colonies dies each winter. We rely on bees to pollinate 90% of the world's food and to increase the yield by up to 30%. Many fruits and vegetables would become scarce and prohibitively expensive without the bees. If bees became extinct most of our food will no longer exist and if it did, it wouldn't be very affordable. Scientists have pointed out several causes behind this problem, including global warming, habitat loss, parasites and a class of bee-killing…

The issue of invasive species first came to my attention by the creature in the photo on top. The creature is the cane toad (Rhinella marina), which I first got to know from a documentary from National Geographic, Killer Cane Toad. Much has been forgotten from the documentary, hence I looked up the internet to refresh my memory on the issue again. Here is what I found. Cane toad was first introduced into Australia in 1935 by Reginald Mungomery to tackle the issue of canegrubs damaging the cane…

Pesticides appear to play a great role in cases of colony collapse. For example, neonicotinoids appear to impact bee behavior in ways that easily provide the opportunity for illnesses and parasites to strike when a bee already has a poor diet and a hampered immune system. A neonicotinoid is a newer form of pesticide which is produced in the form of pellets and put into the soil. When watered, the crops absorb the chemicals from these pellets through their roots. This makes them pest-resistant…

They like nice bright things and things that smells sweet, so calm down, they aren’t out to get you on purpose.
