The Hives

the power of love among the teachings of a bee’s lifestyle compared to their community as a whole, where she explains to Lily, “Well for instance, every bee has a role to play...Egg laying is the main thing, Lily. She's the mother of every bee in the hive, and they all depend on her to keep it going. I don't care what their job is—they know the queen is their mother. She's the mother of thousands” (Sue Monk Kidd pg.148-149) As a way to show the queen's ability to take care and lead over…

Humans are one of the most complex beings to roam the Earth. They are one of the only species with bipedalism, they have the ability to collectively learn, and they can communicate with each other verbally and nonverbally. However, humans aren’t the only species who can communicate to one another. Humans are the only ones to communicate with a verbal language, yet there is no need for a verbal language to get across an idea. Other animals that roam this Earth can communicate to each other, and…

277 to 290 mg at adult emergence. As their wings are almost paper thin, they still manage to support the bee’s un-aerodynamic anatomy and hold up to the constant stress of everyday flights and vibrations as they collect nectar and pollen for their hive as well as communicating to other bees as to where a rich nectar flow is located at. As gravity is measured in at 9.8 m/s, another force is acting on the Honeybee during its flight, the honeybee has to fly against its own body weight in order to…

The Western Honey Bee and its twenty sub species have been extensively spread across the planet due to economic benefits relating with pollination and honey production. Honey bees live in colonies and split the division of labor among individuals. There are three castes of Western Honey Bees: Workers, Drones, and Queens (Krell 1996). Worker bees are non-reproductive females that make up the largest group in the colony. They specialize in the collection of pollen/nectar and feeding the young.…

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…

built on. However, in this new world, these words have slightly different meanings than the reader may think. Here, community refers to the population of five castes, all of which are born from test tubes, and grow up to become worker bees in the hive. Identity, in Brave New World is not defined as “who someone is” but which caste one belongs too. Rather than individuality, conformity and conventionality are stressed. With the cooperation of the first two ideals expressed, stability can…

is describing. Although the words are simple it keeps the readers interested. it helps make what she is saying easier to understand. By giving simple descriptive words it makes the reader want to continue. Angelou says “then they swarm around me, a hive of honey bees.” by giving the metaphor it allows the reader to create an image. People would not continue to read the poem if she wrote “i walk into the room and the men fond over me” its the same thing but not as intriguing. The phrase…

Now, years later, Raku has grown into a typical teenager, and all he wants is to remain as uninvolved in his yakuza background as possible while spending his school days alongside his middle school crush Kosaki Onodera. However, when the American Bee Hive Gang invades his family's turf, Raku's idyllic romantic dreams are sent for a toss as he is dragged into a frustrating conflict: Raku is to pretend that he is…

performing ritualistic gestures to have them intermingle within his society: “Throw gravel over them and say:…/ Never to the woodland wild may you fly!” The speaker suggests using gravel against the swarm because the bees will work together to build a new hive away from the “wild,” where it is dangerous, to live in a skep to fertilize his crops. In other words, this means that the ideal society will have to cooperate with the bees because their livelihood depends on it. However, the bees also…
