order to be accepted. MLA CITATION BRO” Every person plays a certain role within a clique and these roles have attributes specific to them.

These roles include: the “Queen Bee”, “Sidekick”, “Banker”, “Floater”, “Torn Bystander”, “Pleaser”, and “Target”. Depending on the role people play within the clique, they can be affected by…

Recently I have seen much ado on many social media platforms about a problem that is taken very jokingly. The problem that I am talking about is the exponential dying rate of bees. I see that many people will make “memes”, which are jokes that are passed around the Internet like a flu or a virus, metaphorically speaking, and contain anything from satire to funny videos with a good mix of joyous and crude humor. Now the problem that arises with that is few will actually take into effect the…

together. Cliques can be very easily classified, but doing this without stereotyping can be difficult. When classifying, it will either be positive or negative, and the way we classify others will determine the outcome. Rosalind Wiseman's essay, "The Queen Bee and Her Court", is an excellent example of positive classification. Wiseman uses classification to explain to mothers how their teenage girl's social cliques work and how to recognize what kind of role their girls play in cliques.These…

left from these weedkillers has had a huge impact on not just certain plants and animals, but the ecosystem as a whole. One type of pesticide, called neonics has greatly impacted a vital contributor to the continuation of the world’s ecosystem: the bee. The article “What’s Killing Our Birds and Bees”, delves into the serious consequences neonics have on bees,…

I went camping with my friends I saw a bee hive and started studying bees. Honey bees are much to busy to bother people or animals. All insects have six legs, three main body parts, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, jointed legs, and a hard exokeleton. The three main body parts are the head, thorax (middle part of the body) and abdomen (back part of the body). Honey bees are only about 3/4 of an inch long. Honey bees are reddish-brown and black with orange-yellow rings on there back.…

builds a small nest and rears a starter brood of worker females. These workers then take over expanding the nest, building multiple six-sided cells into which the queen continually lays eggs. By late summer, a colony can have more than 5,000 individuals, all of whom, including the founding queen, die off at winter. Only newly fertilized queens survive the cold to restart the process in spring. Solitary wasps, by far the largest subgroup, do not form colonies. This group includes some of the…

In this piece Darwin describes the differences between the hive bee and the humble bee. Bees have to shape their cells in ways that they hold the greatest amount of honey possible while using the least amount of wax. It seems quite amazing how these bees can make these shapes with all the angles and planes but what is amazing is that all it came from their instinct. The hive and the humble bee both structure their cells differently. At one end of the spectrum, the humble use their old their old…

Bees are adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen, the former primarily as an energy source and the latter primarily for protein and other nutrients. Most pollen is used as food for larvae. Bee pollination is important both ecologically and commercially;…

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…
