Honey

Recent declines in honey bee populations and increasing demand for insect-pollinated crops raise concerns about pollinator shortages. Pesticide exposure and pathogens may interact to have strong negative effects on managed honey bee colonies. Such findings are of great concern given the large numbers and high levels of pesticides found in honey bee colonies. Thus it is crucial to determine how field-relevant combinations and loads of pesticides affect bee health. We collected pollen from bee hives in seven major crops to determine 1) what types of pesticides bees are exposed to when rented for pollination of various crops and 2) how field-relevant pesticide blends affect bees’ susceptibility to the gut parasite Nosema ceranae. Our samples represent…

Since I was bored that time, I tried to dissect it, but I did not know what each of parts’ purpose. And since all bees are important to all living things because of its pollute will affect the…

I went camping with my friends I saw a bee hive and started studying bees. Honey bees are much to busy to bother people or animals. All insects have six legs, three main body parts, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, jointed legs, and a hard exokeleton. The three main body parts are the head, thorax (middle part of the body) and abdomen (back part of the body). Honey bees are only about 3/4 of an inch long. Honey bees are reddish-brown and black with orange-yellow rings on there back. …

Bees boast an overwhelming 4,000 species’ in the United States, and these bees, particularly honey bees, pollenate around…

Parasites, pathogens and disease play a huge role in the decline of bees. One example of a parasite which affects forager honeybees is the parasitic mite, Varroa destructor. This ectoparasitic mite was previously only found to affect the Eastern honey bee, Apis cerana, but in the last ~50 years, it has also found a new host, Apis mellifera and become a problem worldwide (Rosenkranz, Aumeier and Ziegelmann, 2010). Varroa mites reproduce in young honeybee cells, called capped brood cells. They…
