Beekeeper

My recent visit to the children’s garden has brought up my love/hate relationship with bees. Most younger kids have poor experiences with bees when they are younger. Just being around them anymore gives me chills up my spine. There are over 70 different species of bees and wasps found in Ohio. These can be helpful or harmful things of society. Wasps just are pests and do nothing. On the other the hand honey bees and carpenter bees contribute to the life cycle of human nature. The relationship…

flying insects are no help; yet, in most cases they are essential to the survival of flowering plants or angiosperms. They complete the reproduction cycle of these plants and without them some plants would not have a successful pollination. Besides beekeepers, and other jobs where work relates to bees, these important creatures go unnoticed. Including bees “insect pollinators merit our preservation efforts because some 67 percent of extant flowering plants depend, to varying extents, upon them…

People kill them and don’t think anything of it all they see is just a bug with a stinger that can potentially hurt you. Another thing that are a danger to bees are the people/animals who kill them and take down their hives for the honey. Unlike beekeepers who use smoke on the bees to relax then to retrieve the honey they just kill them and don't think twice. We need to think about what we are killing, and their impact on the world around us before we kill them. Something we can do to save the…

serve to reinforce the underdeveloped feel of the setting. The write introduces Lupe, “the medicine woman” [209] who deals in “charred own bones, the singed rabbit fur, the cat entrails, the messes and ointments” [209] and her daughter Maria Rosa, a beekeeper who is 15 years old. These types of careers are not often seen in a more developed city, but would instead be outside the city in more rural…

Bees, bees, bees About Bees Honeybees live in highly complex colonies of as many as 100,000 bees; most of these bees are worker or unfertile females who do most of the work in the beehive. The work includes gathering nectar, water and pollen and feeding and cleaning the queen. The workers also cool or heat the beehive when needed fee d the developing larvae and use beeswax to fortify hive cells. When the bee hive is busy during a typical peak season, the worker bee will live for only six week…

caused damage during the expedition. Climbing Mount Everest can be a huge accomplishment but also an eye-opening experience about the damage others can do by not caring. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were both adventurous men. Hillary was a beekeeper but had climbed many mountains in his spare time. Norgay was a Sherpa that lead others on climbs and lived in Nepal. Norgay had tried to climb Mount Everest before but was never successful. Hillary knew that he was not going to let anything…

around 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. Honey bees are responsible for $30 billion a year in crops.” If bees went extinct, if you went to the store, half of the fruits and vegetables we have today would be there. Across the United States, beekeepers have lost 44% of their bee colonies from April of 2015 and April of 2016. Pesticides are the most common reason bees die. One in every three bites of food we consume relies on bees. Pesticides are Harmful to the Population…

Buzzkill Like they say, it’s the little things that count. The smallest actions can make the biggest changes. Honey bees, as small as they are, impact our daily lives a great deal . Why are Honey bees so important? Well, they contribute to our food sources, our environment, our health, but most importantly, our existence. It is important for us as a race to take care of their species when no one else can. We need to preserve the Honey Bees because they are vital to our survival and everyday…

The honeybee’s immense value comes about from its ability to pollinate flowers and crops to promote a healthy and sufficient harvest. This harvest is key for agriculturally dependent countries such as the United States, whose agriculture industry is worth upwards of $200 billion. Bees are a noticeably important factor in maintaining this agriculture, so important that in June of 2014, the president of the United States developed the Pollinator Health Task-Force, run by the USDA and the EPA (U.S…

affect the beekeeping industry in the Philippines specifically in Region 1 and the Cordillera Administrative Region. The volume of honey production, the number of colonies and queens to be produced are all dependent not only on the skills of the beekeepers, but more importantly on the prevailing weather and climate conditions. Climate change appears to be a major concern for agriculture in general and may also have worrying implications for beekeeping. In particular, it has been listed as a…
