Honey bee

out bee-friendly flowers will allow them to pollinate, also setting out little dishes with drops of sugar water is very helpful, as sugar water helps hydrate your bee friends. Becoming a certified bee keeper is another way to help save the bees. With more bee farmers, you allow bees a safe habitat and home, where the bees can safely breed and repopulate. As Barry B. Benson once said, “He’s no good fella, he’s a bad fella!” concerning people who had been stealing from bees, taking their honey and…

displeasure with bees and the possibility of being stung, but these tiny, buzzing creatures carry the weight of the world on their backs. We should all give them hearty thanks, because, without bees, we would have ceased to exist long ago. Humans eat their honey, use their wax, and rely on bees to help our food grow, benefiting us all. Pollination We are taught from a young age that bees carry pollen from plant to plant and flower to flower in a process called pollination. In fact, bees are…

If many species are nearing extinction, problems begin to arise…

Honey, Tell Me What’s Wrong? A recent analysis on honey concluded that the natural landscape worldwide is thoroughly contaminated with pesticides. Neonicotinoid pesticides, which have been found in a majority of honey samples across the world, cause paralysis and death in insects. In The Guardian article “Honey tests reveal global contamination by bee-harming pesticides,” Damian Carrington, through ethos and logos, effectively advocates for neonicotinoid restriction after explaining the honey…

As we can see from previous paragraphs, bees help us live a healthier life without the need to use any chemical in the food we consume on daily basis. Therefore, it is important for us to be inform and worried as to why many bees are vanishing. Our bee colonies are going through a massive breakdown which was discovered in 2006. Near the end of 2006, well known commercial beekeeper David Hackenberg stepped outside to supervise his 3,000 beehives and was surprised to find that 400 of his hives…

indiscriminately”, especially during mid-day hours, when honeybees are usually out foraging. It is also recommended to plant pollinator-friendly plants-plants that are good sources of foraging materials for honeybees, such as red clover, foxglove, bee balm, and joe-pye weed. To protect the ecosystems and agriculture across the world, it is crucial to solve the problem of colony collapse disorder. Honeybees have such an impact for thousands of organisms, prompt change is a requirement for the…

“The whole fabric of honey bee society depends on communication-on an innate ability to send and receive messages, to encode and decode information” (Kidd 165). This quote shows one similarity that bees and humans share. And most people don’t think about bees and humans having anything in common. However, if you look at the facts they actually have a lot of similar qualities. And using facts and comparisons, the author incorporates this main idea into the book. What the author is trying to…

to sell a jar of honey. This seemingly insignificant gesture was the beginning of becoming the owners of “Arlo’s Honey Farm”. As green as grass and armed with a beekeeping book founder’s husband purchased – she jumped in and did her best. The bees have taught her many things, aside from a fast track education in beekeeping. The first lesson was patience and as one very good friend said, “Go slow Helen”. She have been repeating this to herself many times over and not only in the bee yard. The…

Bees pollinate about 80% of wild plants and 84% of human grown crops in terrestrial ecosystems (Brown, 2009). The ecosystem service of pollination has the economic value in the agricultural industry worth $1.7 billion (Brown, 2009). However, global honey bee populations are in decline (Potts, 2010). With the given projections for human population growth to reach around 9 billion by the year 2050, the importance of bees to human survival is vital (Brown, 2009). The US Fish and Wildlife Service…
