Beekeeping

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…

One can take a deep breath almost anymore and enjoy the smells around them, but what would happen if that was taken away? Once can go outside and see trees, flowers, and bushes surrounding them, but what if that was taken away? What would society do if there was no plants to make oxygen? How would we survive? Today, society takes bees for granted and so they started capturing them and keeping them to pollinate and make honey and instead of using pollen, beekeepers started using substitutes to…

“ 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…

Into The Life of a Queen Based on Wiseman’s “Queen Bee and her Court” As you grow older it becomes apparently abundant in your social clique, as well as the ones that you observe, that there is one central member that controls the group. This is often times referred to as the queen bee. The queen bee is generally the sole leader over everyone in their particular social group, and their influence may reach beyond their exclusive pack. Often times today’s society mentality fosters an “us…

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.…

There are many different speculations of why the honey bees are disappearing. Research suggests that one cause of the disappearance of the honey bees are diseases. One of the biggest threats to honey bees is Varroa Destructor “a large external parasite that attaches and sucks the blood from the bee. The Varroa mite, introduced by accident in 1987 by the Asian Honey Bee, has since developed a disastrous relationship with the American honey bee resulting in a significant loss from coast to coast…

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…

The role of a honeybee has an impact on us all, from every third bite of food we eat to almost every budding flower we see. Grocery stores depend on seasonal fruits and vegetables what would happen if these disappeared from our shelves, would anybody know why? Although many endangered species, this vital insect to life may become the next on the list. Not only can we blame big organizations for destroying habitats in no ecological farming techniques, along with harmful spraying of chemicals upon…

Agriculture, or the practice of planting, cultivating, and harvesting crops has many more layers than most realize. One overlooked factor is the role of certain species of animals known as pollinators in speeding up the breeding process of plants through pollination. One of the most important pollinators, the honey bee transfers the genetic info of male and female plants through pollen, and in return gets nectar to feed its colony (“Pollination”). While honey bees have been around for millions…

Millions of bees are dying off, an 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,…
