    Without bees and natural pollinators to fulfill their job of pollination, companies would have to regress into the act of artificial pollination.

Hand pollination is best understood by imagining the process in the same way as artificial insemination in human beings. The value of both wild and/or managed pollinators (such as artificial pollination)…

    Introduction Flowers and pollinators have co-evolved over thousands of years creating the physical characteristics that you see within flowers and pollinators throughout the world. Flower type, shape, color, odor, nectar and even structure in some way are related to pollinators and the need to attract pollinators for reproduction.

    Pollinators, flowers, and their relationship play an essential role in ecosystems. Pollinators are responsible for facilitating fertilization in flowering plants, which provides seed production in fruits and vegetables. Pollination is important in agricultural communities with the fertilization of crops. It is estimated that pollinators contribute to the global economy by adding 217 billion dollars from pollinating a vast array of crops (Gallai et al., 2009). The pollinator-flower relationship…

For starters, you would likely starve. Bees provide the majority of pollination assistance that nurtures agriculture. However, the bee population is diminishing due to multiple factors, yet the primary factor is a class of insecticide chemicals acknowledged as neonicotinoids or neonics. The neonic pesticide is beneficial for…

    All three transects at each site were studied at the same time on one day. The transects were studied to look for visiting pollinators at the flowers during each of the 30 minute periods. There were four 30 minute periods beginning at 0900, 1200, 1500 and 1800. During the start of each period an observer would walk for 2 and half minutes down each transect and recorded any of visitors…

Actions to protect these pollinators included a plan to prohibit highly toxic pesticides when bees are under contract for pollination services, risk assessment for pollinators, encouraging pollinator-friendly habitats in land clean-up programs, and develop new seed-planting…

    conditions. According to Jayne Leonard, “The United Nations Environment programme (UNEP) believes that the effects of climate change - rising temperatures, fluctuation in rainfall and generally more extreme weather conditions - have an impact on pollinator lifespan and practices” (3). For bees the perfect weather conditions would be places with warm temperatures as well as areas that are abundant in plants. The rising temperatures affect bees in that the planet is being affected by global…

    nature and if we keep killing them, then the flower reproduction will eventually stop and we will not have any more flowers in our environment. Honey bees specifically is the “most important pollinators of agricultural crops,” so if we would lose this species due to us, we will not have our most dominant pollinator anymore (Andree, et al. 1-9). We get more of our fruits, and many other foods from bee pollination, so if we continue to kill all the bees then we will not have any food life for us…
