Honey

Carpenter bees can do quite a bit of damage to wood structures due to the holes the females drill for laying their eggs in. These large finger sized holes can go many inches deep into the wood and the bees will drill them deeper with each use until the wood is weakened to the point of collapse. They also open the wood up to moisture and decay. By understanding some of the carpenter bee habits it possible to make traps that will attract them before they can damage wood structure and kill them so…

The pistachio industry in California is located primarily in the San Joaquin Valley, which accounts for 97% of the production in the U.S (CPRB 2009). The city of Fresno is centrally located favorable for the growing season because it is typically hot and dry; daytime temperatures commonly exceeding 100 degrees F. and rainfall between May and October is effectively absent. Because pistachio trees typically bloom in mid April, monitoring for pests is best suitable in early spring. A most common…

• Milk & Honey. This is another excellent nightcap option. Milk contains tryptophan, you know, that magical amino acid in turkey that makes everyone nap after Thanksgiving dinner? By enjoying a glass of warm milk before bed you’ll increase your serotonin levels, thus triggering this sedative. Honey is a carb and will help the hormone transmit to your brain quicker. • Turkey. Now, you should avoid eating before bed because it can lead to heartburn. However, if you are feeling hungry there are a…

In the book, Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur, the main character, Rupi, changes throughout the book due to healing from her break-up. Before Rupi heals from her break-up, she displays negative character traits such as; empty and fearful. To begin, Kaur states with sorrow and emptiness, “he guts her with his fingers like he’s scraping the inside of a cantaloupe clean” (31) Rupi described her feelings after her boyfriend (at the time) took everything she had, and left. Rupi didn’t have much. She had…

Bees are a very important part of the environment, the economy, and our lives. Honey bees, along with many other types of bees, collect pollen from flowers, carry it back to their hives, and create honey to store as food. In the more modern era, bee hives have been industrialized by farmers and the farming industry in order to pollinate more crops. While bees have always been threatened by diseases, predatory bugs, and environmental stressors, a new threat has arisen. This threat is colony…

barricade the Pollinators!” “Yes Sir,” the Zecks replied on the demand. This was the third time in one week, that the evil was attempting to stampede the North Willow. For the first time, they glided right past their tree, and tried talking to the honey bee’s. “Oh, their colony is in for it…” one of the pollinators claimed with a bit of fright in his voice. This was a strange day, because usually whenever the Zecks came out of the South Pine, they were going to harass the nice troops. This…

Bees are one of nature’s greatest gifts; they pollinate flowers, they make honey, and they keep many ecosystems healthy. I believe that we should be putting more effort into saving bees for those very reasons, and I believe that we couldn’t do it without them. The first reason we need bees is that we can’t do what bees can do. Bees have special bodies and body parts to do the job that they were meant to do. Humans can’t pollinate flowers because, even with special equipment, humans would…

commencement my brother began to grow an interest in the art of beekeeping. Having hives full of bees started off as a hobby, but not long after he partnered with my parents and began an entrepreneurship called Nate’s Nectar, selling natural raw honey. As many already know, honeybees are a main source of cross pollination for plants. In order for…

Q#1: After carefully analyzing “Scenario #2,” I have concluded that it incorporates the following disciplines: science, technology, engineering, and potentially, art and math. The scenario incorporates science through the discussion of honey bees, their essential role in ecosystems, and the environmental impact of their endangered status and risk of extinction. The scenario incorporates technology throughout the problem-solving process, as students are encouraged to research the environmental…

substantially over the last five years. bee has dropped altogether and have named this perception the state fall issue (CCD). This is a potential risk towards agribusiness and human nourishment supplies. The role honeybees play in our diet goes beyond honey production. These seemingly tireless creatures pollinate about one-third of crop species in the U.S. Honeybees pollinate about 100 flowering food crops including apples, nuts, broccoli, avocados, soybeans, asparagus, celery, squash and…
