Honey bees play a significant role in the production of the various crops humans consume on a daily basis. Without the pollination services of the honeybees, 35 percent of the human diet would disappear. The bees assist in producing fruits, vegetables, almonds, hay, cotton, and other crops which provide nutrients that are necessary for survival. However in recent years, bees have been dying at an alarmingly high rate. This is a problem that must be acknowledged and addressed because it is…

my favorite insect is a bee. bee’s drink most of the honey and nector from most of the flowers. There are birds called the bee eater that eats bee’s. Us humans depend on bees for honey. The venus fly trap also eats bees along with other insects such as flys and whosps. i believe that bee’s have a very important part in the ecosystem. Bee’s help the humans by producing most of the honey we have and all around in the united states. Bee’s have an important part in the ecosystem even though…

Dawkins now starts to switch to natural selection. He begins with the discussion of plants have a part in insects and birds evolving. The plants bride the insects and birds with food. They are drawn in by the rich good taste of the flowers nectar. For bees, the flower leaves a sort of trace to guide them. This trace is in fact ultraviolet pigments that draw in the bees. Not only bees, but other creatures are able to see these pigments as well. Their systems are suited to view certain shapes,…

Few studies on the biology and life cycle of bostrichid beetles have been done with mostly concentrating on economically important species (Liu et al., 2008). Typically, the bostrichid beetle undergoes complete metamorphosis with four life stages – egg, larva, pupa and adult. Eggs are laid in crack and cervices of sawn lumber or logs. Larva hatch and bore ¼ inch into the wood. Tunnels are filled with tightly packed, fine sawdust-like materials. Pupation happens at the end of the tunnel. Once…

It would be detrimental for honeybees to work independently within a colony for the bee population. Starting at six days old, young bees start to feed younger larvae in their hive. The adult bees do other tasks such as scavenging for the other honeybees. In a hive, there is no simple hierarchy, unlike human beings who have business hierarchies for large businesses. Each bee does something to benefit another bee. The queen may be valuable, because there is only one in each hive, but the queen…

Research Paper Self Evaluation 1. Explain three interest ideas or facts you learned about your research topic. In my research paper I learned many things, but one of the most notable facts was that honey bees do not die in winter or go into hibernation, they get into a tight ball together and shiver. Another topic I learned was that honey is an extremely efficient cough suppressant—even better than some over the counter medicines. Finally, my favorite thing I gathered from this topic is that…

Bees are one of the most important insects in modern agriculture. About one in every three bites you eat is pollinated by bees. But bees are disappearing. Around two million bee hives were lost in a matter of just a few years, and healthy bee colonies aren't cheap. We are killing bees, even if we aren’t trying to. We’re killing the bees through neonicotinoids, varroa mites, and even global warming. The neonicotinoids aren’t doing what they are supposed to do. Sure, they do a good job killing…

Honey bees are small winged insects that have a huge impact in our modern-day society and agriculture. Honeybees provide us with more than just honey; they also supply us with a wide variety of fruits and vegetables through pollination. Sadly, honey bees are on the verge of extinction. Without these tiny creatures, we would suffer a great loss in produce. Throughout this paper, we will explore what a honeybee is, it’s job, and how we can stop its extinction. The western honey bee is a…

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…
