an article titled “No Bees, No Food” published on the California Environment website it talks about the current problem beekeepers are dealing with. It states that each year beekeepers are reporting that they are losing on average 30% of their honey bee colonies each year. They believe that there could be several…

“The way humanity manages or mis-manages its nature-based assets, including pollinators, will in part define our collective future in the 21st century,” UN Environment Programme Executive Director Achim Steiner said.. “The fact is that of the 100 crop species that provide 90 per cent of the world’s food, over 70 are pollinated by bees.” ("Humans Must Change Behaviour to save Bees, Vital for Food Production). Bees as pollinators play a major role in the world’s agriculture and the close…

It is not hard to understand how bee colonies struggle to survive. Add to this list three controversial causes for bee depopulation and you have a recipe for disaster. We know that our food disappearance is related to the honey bee and their disappearance, but what is the root cause of this issue beyond natural causes? Accusations range from the use of genetically modified organisms…

Socialism in the Bee Movie The Bee Movie follows a newly matured bee by the name of Barry B. Benson and his begging of work in the hive.

As we can see from previous paragraphs, bees help us live a healthier life without the need to use any chemical in the food we consume on daily basis. Therefore, it is important for us to be inform and worried as to why many bees are vanishing. Our bee colonies are going through a massive breakdown which was discovered in 2006. Near the end of 2006, well known commercial beekeeper David Hackenberg stepped outside to supervise his 3,000 beehives and was surprised to find that 400 of his hives…

The dramatic film Akeelah and the Bee is a very touching movie that demonstrated several characteristics of a servant leader by both Akeelah and Dr. Larabee. Examples of these were Listening, healing, and conceptualization. In addition, the actors displayed interesting scenes where the form humility came before honor. This is a movie that brings laughter, tears and joy. The film is about an 11 year old girl who could spell better than anyone in her school. However, her confidence would have…

effects imperialism had on the British. We did not view both perspectives of the topic until we began reading Little Bee. Imperialism positively affected the Europeans by giving them new resources for their ongoing industrial revolution. I had always thought that imperialism was good because it was helping Europe, and never really thought about the negative effects it had. Little Bee shows the horrors of imperialism, and horrors we fail to see on a daily basis. During the group conversation we…

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.…

bees to take care of her and the few remaining young bees. When a colony is affected by CCD, there are very few dead bees near the colony. What causes CCD? Varroa mites are one of the bigger problems. Varroa mites are parasites that hitch a ride on a bee, and end up in the hive. Once they are in the hive they lay eggs and any bacteria or viruses that the mites have are spread to the bees. Another cause of CCD are nutrition problems caused by a lack of diversity in pollen. Habitat loss is…
