Beekeeper

Abstract: Research was done to determine whether or not honey bees prefer flowers of the Epilobium canum plant within a moderate range of color red intensity. This research is significant because it enables us to understand more about bee behavior, and, not to mention, it will aid farmers in crop production to select the most efficient pollinators for specific types of crops. E. canum plants were surveyed and later used to calculate the proportion of the color red per flowers for each plant…

in business. But her father gave her an early entrepreneurial education. Even though her marriage failed and was hard to earn a good income for her family, she survived with money making skills her father taught her.

With this idea, Quimby convinced Burt to form a honey…

Think about the many times people have intentionally killed bees or other pollinators, even though they weren’t doing any harm. All of these times add up, and consequently a major bee crisis evolves. Beekeepers continue to report hive losses each year. This means that pollinating insects have been on a steep decline for many reasons. The bees must be helped now, especially since 90% of the world’s nutrition is pollinated by bees (Green Peace, n.d.). The decline in pollinators worldwide over the…

Bees. They make honey, they sting, and they inspired some pretty crazy hairdos in the 1960s. Were you aware though, that bees do much more than just provide us with alternatives to artificial sweeteners? In fact, bees, small as they are, play an immense role in the world’s ecosystem and production of food. So much so that they have a nearly direct effect on every other living thing, especially humans. As with most things in this world, though, people have a tendency to not be good stewards of…

Furthermore, the study must be conducted within the nectar flow months, which in New Zealand is between December and early march, this is essential to the study as it maximises the productive of the bees(Waikato Domestic Beekeepers Association2016). The bees will be caught over 5-6 days by training bees to collect 0.5M of sucrose solution from an artificial hive.(Farina et al.,…

The response to question number 12. Do you consider GMO to be environmentally safe? Please explain. “No. I am a beekeeper and there is evidence that GMOs are harmful to bees and other pollinators( responder 680).” This response sparked interest to do more research on GMOs being harmful to bees. In an email interview with Monsanto one of the questions asked was what…
