Freeman lived with his grandparents while his parents looked for jobs in Chicago. When morgan was six his…

Apples, avocados, cucumbers, onions, almonds, cranberries - what do they share in common? Besides the fact that they are examples of popular, everyday foods, they also share another theme: their production, as well as the production of several other foods, depends on pollination from bees. Logic says that without the presence of bees, agriculture would be intensely impacted. Yet, this very issue has begun to occur. In 2006, it was first reported that large numbers of seemingly healthy bees…

I knew it was going to be a difficult task to find a local sustainability initiative in my home community because, Ellijay being such a small town, there isn’t an appreciable amount of information available. So when agritourism, the practice of touring agricultural areas to see farms and often to participate in farm activities, was mentioned I knew what I would write about (Agritourism). Being from Ellijay I automatically assume that people know about it, but from my experience here at Berry…

Teaching in honey bees Teaching is widespread throughout the human’s species, however for other organisms, while social learning is commonly found, it is not currently clear how common teaching behaviours are within other organisms. Furthermore, the research that has been conducted tends to surround animals, for instance, Meerkats as they learn to defend themselves against scorpions (Thornton & McAuliffe, 2006) or the ability for New Caledonian Crows to learn to shape hooks to use as tools…

One of the major influences was her father, inspiring the poems “Daddy,” “The Beekeepers Daughter,” “The Bee Meeting,” “The Arrival of the Bee Box,” “Stings,” and “The Swarm” (Kirk 38). As can be seen when The Bell Jar is compared with her biography, Plath wrote what she had experienced, following Prouty’s advice (The Bell Jar). Also…

Recently I have seen much ado on many social media platforms about a problem that is taken very jokingly. The problem that I am talking about is the exponential dying rate of bees. I see that many people will make “memes”, which are jokes that are passed around the Internet like a flu or a virus, metaphorically speaking, and contain anything from satire to funny videos with a good mix of joyous and crude humor. Now the problem that arises with that is few will actually take into effect the…

mother who died in a horrible gun accident. Lily chooses Tiburon because its name was written on the back of a picture of Black Madonna in Lily's mother's belongings. In Tiburon, she comes in contact with the owner of the Black Madonna honey, the beekeeper August Boatwright and her two sisters, May and June. Lily and Rosaleen thus take refuge…

The main objective of the laboratory was to identity different species of honeybees based on their physical and genetic attributes. Due to the invasion of African honeybees in North America, hybridization has increased between African and European honeybees. The hypothesis is that the four unknown bees are hybridized with a European mother and an African father. The wing-lengths of European, African, and unknown bees were measured, and the mtDNA of eight different bees were subjected to gel…

Was T. Ray actually a bad father? (define bad and discuss norms of the day) It is often difficult to define a bad parent, because it is subjective. What one person sees as abusive others may see it as loving discipline. In the story, T. Ray has lily work for him at the peach stand, he want her to sell peaches and not read. Lily sees reading as educational, while T. Ray sees it has lazy and unproductive. He is trying to show her how to be a good worker. Some may see this as abuse, while others…

significantly. The worldwide economic cost of bee desolation has been projected at a devastating $5.7 billion per year which will only continue to grow (Leonard). United States honey bees also produce 150 million dollars’ worth of honey a year, so in turn beekeepers would be out of a job and honey based companies would be out of produce if bees were to disappear. In North America approximately 30% of the food consumed by humans is produced from the pollination of bees (Zissu). Considering the…
