Insect wing

comb the nectar looks nothing like the golden honey people see today. It is not as thick in this stage because the water has not yet been evaporated from it. To speed up the process of evaporation, worker bees tirelessly fan the honeycomb with their wings. Once most of the water is evaporated from the honeycomb, the bee encloses the liquid within it. Using a small amount of liquid from their abdomen, which eventually turns into beeswax, the bee caps the honey in the honeycomb. Once hidden from…

For other uses, see Parrot (disambiguation). Scarlet Macaws. One is eating using a foot to hold a walnut, while the shell is broken with its beak.Parrots are birds of the roughly 350 species in 85 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes, found in most warm and tropical regions. Also known as psittacines (pronounced /?s?t?sa?nz/),[1][2] they are usually grouped into two families: the Psittacidae (true parrots) and the Cacatuidae (cockatoos). Parrots have a pan-tropical distribution with…

on him. This is due to the fact that Gregor had no longer acquired the ability to work to work and provide for his family. After everything he had done for his family, it seemed to hold no meaning to them. They were embarrassed and ashamed of their insect family member. Each one of the family members were proved to be ungrateful, selfish, manipulative people. The Samsa family no longer had a use for Gregor. The love that was thought to be there began to show. This was a immature love, which…

Pollinators on the Decline In recent years North America has been faced with a sharp decline in bee populations. Beekeepers are used to a certain amount of bees and hives dying off but the winter and spring of 2006-2007 brought about the most precipitous decline in decades. The historical rate for overwintering losses is 10-15% but from 2007-2011 this rate has been 28-33% (The Situation, n.d.). This event from 2007 has been coined as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and affecting as many as 35…

to Gregor’s caretaker, bringing him food and cleaning his room. In contrast to the rest of the family, who abandon Gregor and lock him inside his room, she takes responsibility for him because of her close relation to him before he turned into an insect. “She brought him […] a whole array of things.”(109) However, when the family burden begins falling heavily on her and she is forced to get a job, she renounces to her position taking care of Gregor. Later, she is persuaded by the stressful…

The lesson called Home Grown Caterpillars is a lesson about the transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly (life cycle process) while creating a three dimensional piece of art to express idea, experience, or story. The story associated with this lesson is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The art piece is a replica of the caterpillar during a butterfly’s life cycle made out of grass seed, soil, stockings, pipe cleaners, and googly eyes. This lesson would be considered an art enhanced lesson…

Traditional domestication of bees began in the early 1800’s along with most early advent of manmade beehives. Since these early pioneers of apiculture, beekeeping has progressed to an essential aspect of modern agriculture. In America, the production of specialty foods such as berries, nuts, fruit, and vegetables have become reliant on not only wild pollinators as a whole, but domesticated bee’s specifically. Beekeeping has become a reputable business, one that entails beekeepers traveling…

In the state of New Hampshire, beautiful flowers, amongst other plant and fruit life, bloom in the spring and last through the fall when the weather begins to chill. These plants are able to grow and produce through pollination. Unfortunately, many of the honey bees are dying off and without them to pollinate, crops will not survive, flowers and fruit will not grow, and we will lose many other luxuries bees and their honey provide us with. The decrease in the honey bee population is becoming…

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…
