Queen bee

The Bronx has many locations where graffiti can be noticed. The grand concourse, a major route in the Bronx is home to many of the graffiti locations in New York. For instance, The Andrew Freedman home is a landmark for New York City and is located at 1125 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY. The house was many graffitti (artwork) on its boundary wall and in the inside as exhibitions. During 1924-1983, the Renaissance Palazzo styled Andrew Freedman home served as a beautiful location for the elderly. In…

flower blossoms, the bee will come. In the early days, bees were more like wasps, eating other insects rather than nectar & pollen. There are nine stages that a bee goes through to produce honey. The very beginning of the honey process depends upon a queen. Each hive must have a queen. She keeps the hive functioning when the colony is getting too large; the queen will begin laying queen cells. The nurse bees will take care of this cell. Next, comes the mating flight a queen cell that has…

pollinate about 80% of wild plants and 84% of human grown crops in terrestrial ecosystems (Brown, 2009). The ecosystem service of pollination has the economic value in the agricultural industry worth $1.7 billion (Brown, 2009). However, global honey bee populations are in decline (Potts, 2010). With the given projections for human population growth to reach around 9 billion by the year 2050, the importance of bees to human survival is vital (Brown, 2009). The US Fish and Wildlife Service has…

With the continued decrease in honey bee populations, however, there are additional economic and agricultural issues. In the US, the pollination services provide around 15 billion dollars in crop value (Allsopp). While bees aren’t as important in the production of crops such as corn, fruits, vegetables, nuts and berries are reliant on pollinators. Many of the most common foods that rely on honey bee pollination are shown in the 2006 graph…

a nest for its family, which could be a hole in a tree or the ground. Some solitary wasps build small nests from mud and pebbles which they stick together with their saliva. The Wasp, its Sting and Kent Pest Control The wasp is a relation of the bee and the ant. Its sting can cause tremendous pain but it does have black and yellow stripes to serve as a warning to animals and humans, so…

The Disappearance of Bees What would be the agricultural significance if our bees, the world’s most important pollinators, gradually disappeared over time? The answer: the agriculture industry will experience shortages in food, lose profits, and heavy pressure will be placed on farmers who won’t be able to meet demands for food. The world is seeing an increase of bees missing every year, and it’s all thanks to a mysterious phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder. In order to prevent the bees…

pattern, and for some reason I wanted to hold it. So I proceeded to do what any other 4 year old would do, I climbed on top of my bed and caught the flying bee. This action was unfortunately, then followed by a sharp sting paired with many tears. Many people’s first experience with bees are alike my first experience as it typically involves the bee stinging the person, and because of this people create a connection between bees and pain and develop a fear of bees. For many, bees are small…

Why does that one bee get to stay in the beehive while the rest of them have to fly around all day for nectar and then bring it back to the bee? Why? This was a question that I asked my dad when I was seven years old. He told me that I would have to find that answer out myself. Now, I know why, because the bee that stays in the beehive is the queen of those bees. She’s the most powerful bee in the beehive, and everybody has to obey her. Every bee has to collect nectar for her and deposit it in…

for the bee population. Starting at six days old, young bees start to feed younger larvae in their hive. The adult bees do other tasks such as scavenging for the other honeybees. In a hive, there is no simple hierarchy, unlike human beings who have business hierarchies for large businesses. Each bee does something to benefit another bee. The queen may be valuable, because there is only one in each hive, but the queen does not rule the hive. Worker bees send orders by signaling to the queen bee…

pollinators we wouldn't have fruit, cotton, or coffee. There are 4,000 species of bees. Most of you probably know this but there is a queen bee that stays in the comb. It can also be better for your health. They pollinate with flowers or plants. Speaking of plants they can be male or female even be both. . Now fiction movies aren't usually informational but the Bee Movie is a good movie to watch about pollination. There are many plants that we wouldn't have if bees,…
