Honey

Teaching in honey bees Teaching is widespread throughout the human’s species, however for other organisms, while social learning is commonly found, it is not currently clear how common teaching behaviours are within other organisms. Furthermore, the research that has been conducted tends to surround animals, for instance, Meerkats as they learn to defend themselves against scorpions (Thornton & McAuliffe, 2006) or the ability for New Caledonian Crows to learn to shape hooks to use as tools…

Filipina is a honey business. 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. Our revenue streams would all come from our sales in: businesses to consumers or as we all know the end customers, direct selling, bazaars, and agents. It is a business that is People, Planet and Profit-friendly. Our main focus is to sell raw and wild…

Preservation of the Honey Bee Our planet is run by big time corporations such as Monsanto, to mass produce genetically modified fruits and vegetables that produce their own form of pesticides and insecticides which successfully kill and deter said pest. Yet the organisms who’s primary function is to pollinate, unfortunately find their way into the crossfire of the ongoing war of biological interference. The organism most affected by the mass production of GMO’s are the widely spread and…

The honey bee population in the United States has been declining at an alarming rate over the past decade. The United States should take action to help preserve the honey bee so that there doesn’t end up being a nationwide crop failure. Though many citizens don’t believe that the honey bee crisis will affect them, the reality may leave sting. With the decrease in honey bees and no one taking action, soon crops will fail and large amounts of our food sources will diminish. Without the honey bees…

The honeybee’s immense value comes about from its ability to pollinate flowers and crops to promote a healthy and sufficient harvest. This harvest is key for agriculturally dependent countries such as the United States, whose agriculture industry is worth upwards of $200 billion. Bees are a noticeably important factor in maintaining this agriculture, so important that in June of 2014, the president of the United States developed the Pollinator Health Task-Force, run by the USDA and the EPA (U.S…

selective breeding by humans have created honey bees that produce far more honey than the colony needs. Beekeepers harvest the honey. They provide a place for the colony to live and to store honey in. The modern beehive is made up of a series of square or rectangular boxes without tops or bottoms placed one on top of another. Inside the boxes, frames are hung in parallel, in which bees build up the wax honeycomb in which they both raise brood and store honey. Modern hives enable beekeepers to…

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…

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.…

What would society do if there was no plants to make oxygen? How would we survive? Today, society takes bees for granted and so they started capturing them and keeping them to pollinate and make honey and instead of using pollen, beekeepers started using substitutes to feed the bees. Huang states, “Honey bees are unequivocally the most important insect pollinator for humankind” (2012). If society does not take care of its bees then we will not have a future and the best way to do that is through…

LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT CCD: COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR DISAPPEARING BEE COLONIES OVER THE LAST DECADE When you think of bees, you may first think of an annoyance. They want ruin your picnic, they might sting you, and many people are allergic to them. Take a closer look. Bees are a cornerstone in the production of many mass-produced foods. (Images from…
