Honey

Introduction The western or European honey bee has the genus name Apis Mellifera which means "bee" and "honey bearing". Honey bee body has 3 parts, two pairs of wings, six legs and two compound eyes. Moreover, there are three kinds of honey bees in a hive, one Queen bee, many worker bees and a few drones. They have different chore in the hive. They live in colonies or hives and collect nectar and pollen as their food. Honey bees are also known as the best pollinators when they visit from one…

Abstract: Research was done to determine whether or not honey bees prefer flowers of the Epilobium canum plant within a moderate range of color red intensity. This research is significant because it enables us to understand more about bee behavior, and, not to mention, it will aid farmers in crop production to select the most efficient pollinators for specific types of crops. E. canum plants were surveyed and later used to calculate the proportion of the color red per flowers for each plant…

beings. The value of both wild and/or managed pollinators (such as artificial pollination) in the manufacture of commercial crops has been assessed in numerous countries and regions by using different approaches. The estimated value of the work of honey bees in the USA is somewhere between $1.6 billion and $14.6 billion (de Lange and Veldtman). With these six-legged employees gone, farmers would be losing billions of dollars of free labor, not including the cost of equipment, research, and…

States. European honey bees are the primary pollinator for a large portion of fruits and vegetables around the world. Recent problems with pest and diseases within colonies have led to a drastic decline in the number of managed hives available for pollination. Colony collapse disorder (CCD) (Mortensen, Schmehl and Ellis)has caused the highest level of hive decrease since 2006. The phenomena of CCD has generated a large amount of public interest, in turn increasing interest in honey bee…

Approximately one-third of the food and beverages produced rely on honey bee pollination. As the honey bee population declines as a result of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), a phenomenon that causes honey bees to flee their hive and eventually die during the winter months, the agricultural industry in the United States faces an economic loss nearing $20-30 billion dollars. The population decline has been attributed to many factors such as the parasitic Varroa mite, different types of viruses,…

about the loss of western honey bees. It is done by compiling evidence performed by tests and other articles on the subject. They bring attention how society has grown to know that the loss of bees, or natural pollinators, has been an epidemic. They reference this to bring the attention that, “pollinators for global food security; ~75% of all globally important crops depend to some degree on pollination.” While this is true, they mention the importance because the honey bees are not the bees we…

HONEY FACTORIES - HOW DO THE BEES MAKE HONEY? What is honey? Why and how do the bees make honey? Have you ever wondered while stirring honey into your tea? Hundreds of varieties of this golden liquid are harvested in the United States, and thousands around the globe. Nevertheless, the method never changes, only the flower, the season and the territory of the crop. WHY? The bees make and stock honey because it is fantastic, nutrient-dense, energy-rich food that never goes bad. When the cold…

insects in the world. Though one of the most fascinating species is the bee. Honey bees are well known for living in hives. They are also known for being one of the world’s biggest pollinator. The honey bee is one of the most well known specie of bee, and a well known pollinator. They are separated into different classes by what they do and their appearance. They live interesting lives, but what is life like inside a honey bee hive? I.what is a beehive? A. In the world there’s more species of…

Millions of bees are dying off, an average of 30% of all honey bee colonies dies each winter. We rely on bees to pollinate 90% of the world's food and to increase the yield by up to 30%. Many fruits and vegetables would become scarce and prohibitively expensive without the bees. If bees became extinct most of our food will no longer exist and if it did, it wouldn't be very affordable. Scientists have pointed out several causes behind this problem, including global warming, habitat loss,…

Teaching in honey bees The study of social learning and teaching has a strong focus on vertebrates especially those that are closely related to humans. However, evidence especially within the last twenty years has indicated that other organisms may also show very similar characteristic, therefore this paper proposes a potential research opportunity into Bees, which have been show highly gregarious and interdependent creatures. Background In the current literature, a large area of research is…
