Why Honey Bees Affect Agriculture You may see a bee buzzing by, landing on a flower and not even think of the huge effect they have on ‘the world’ around us. Today, I will be talking about how and why honey bees affect Agriculture. The first reason is that honey bees are a big part of pollination everywhere around the world. Providing pollen to farmers' crops and other wild plants. The second reason is that honey bees make honey. Providing food for us and other animals. For example Bears.…

Although bees are poisonous, the speaker presents a maxim on how a functional society should interact with a swarm of them because he realizes his dependence for their pollinating skill. The speaker states that he needs the bees in order to survive by performing ritualistic gestures to have them intermingle within his society: “Throw gravel over them and say:…/ Never to the woodland wild may you fly!” The speaker suggests using gravel against the swarm because the bees will work together to…

Prelude Maintenance of robust wildlife communities is valued by many Americans as a central aspect of national pride and cultural heritage. What is less recognized is the role healthy ecosystems play in the health and sustenance of human populations. When wildlife or a piece of a wildlife system directly benefits human well-being it is referred to as an ecosystem service. Decline in bee populations worldwide is putting humankind at risk of damaging it’s most imperative ecosystem service: animal…

In the article, “Climate Change a Major Threat to Bumble Bees” by Jane Ogilvie, stated that there are climate changes causing for the decreasing of flower availability throughout the seasons. And as for bumble bees, their main source of food would be pollen, which are from the flowers. The main cause for the flowers would be the snow melts, since it melts early causing the flowering seasons to be extended longer. Affecting the whole global climate circle then only having the remains of the…

It offers sophisticated, local varieties of natural wild honey that differ in taste, color, and texture mainly because the nectar source of bees are different and also because of the season and place it came from.

Communities of people and ecosystems in nature both work hand in hand in order to achieve one goal -- to ensure that all of their components function and work smoothly. When one thinks about their community, they have to take into consideration all of its parts that help in making it run smoothly. These components of a community can include things like those who produce, consume, and decompose or break down. Consequently if one of those key components becomes damaged or missing, it can have…

Imagine flies, bugs, and pests surround your house like swarms of bees surround a garden full of flowers. Imagine planting, caring, and/or petting a pet or plant that can make their own food, gather their own foods, and/or survive without rich soil, fertilizer, etc. It's a Venus Flytrap you seek. First of all, Venus Flytrap don’t need fertile soil. Venus is a plant, but it is also a carnivore, too, because it consumes insects to survive. As Venus Flytraps consumes insects, they dissolves in the…

Oak trees (genus Quercus) may possess a behavioral defense against acorn predators. Data collected from many oak species shows a common trend that several years of relatively low acorn production are followed by a year with an exceptionally large production of acorns. The term “mast” is used to refer to the amount of acorns produced per year, and the phrase “mast year” is used to describe the year in which acorn production is exceptionally high. Mast years seem to be synchronous within a given…

Introduction The family Bostrichidae Latreille, 1802 also known as the powder-post beetle, is one of the most detrimental pests to seasoned woods. They produce powder-like frass as they bore inside the wood that provides nutrients and protection for growing larvae and mating sites for adults. Ecologically, these beetles function as degrader of dried cellulosic materials that include branches, sapwood of fallen trees and other plant materials. They exist in lower populations in nature, but…

I believe that the quote, “There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they never happened before,” is true and it makes sense. I think that it is true because most stories have a similar story line and it is just told with different characters and plots. For example, in, “Buffalo Dusk,” the problem is that Buffaloes are dying and in, “Below,” the problem is that the worlds are getting destroyed. In both of those stories, the problem is…
