Worker bee

enough they will sting you, and you will not like being stung with a bee. Based on my experience, a wasp stung my ear, so my ear was swollen and I was suffering for a week with swollen ear; I felt like I was an elephant or an elf. After that I started to hate bees and wasps. I registered in the Linc Home Study to improve my communication skills and during my class I watched an article about the bee and the title is “To Bee or Not To Bee “. After I watched that short film documentary, I…

The Bee shown in the image displayed on the course website is of the Rusty Patched Bumblebee (Bombus Affinis). This unique bumblebee has recently received attention from many environmental agencies. On January 11th, it received protections given by the U.S. Endangered Species Act. This is the very first variation of bumblebee to be place on the list. Rusty patched bumblebees are considered as a very social insect, living in colonies led by a single queen. Workers and males are designated by…

reporters attempting to publicize the situation to the public to adopt a ‘Bee Plan’ in order to create a safer environment not only for the honeybee but for butterflies, Bats, and many more pollinating animals out there. (Greenpeace, 2016) Despite the lack of statistical information on total populations of bee breeds, many beekeepers have their own assessment and conclusion on the decline of their bee boxes. While every year a bee hive will knowingly loose 10-15% of its hive but in recent years,…

or watermelons, nuts like almonds, or vegetables like cucumbers. At the very least, imagine these everyday food items as high-priced luxuries. These dire predictions are not science fiction, but rather a very ominous and likely scenario if the honey bee population throughout the world continues to dwindle as it has been over the past decade. Although most people know we need bees to produce honey, relatively few people realize the importance of bees for the production of food crops and other…

each year. They are so valuable to our society and if the bee population goes down, the human population will soon follow. Although many people are unaware of the shrinking bee population, scientific evidence has proven it to be a major problem. Due to CCD and other diseases, our food production and plant life could be decreased to dangerous levels, but the problem can be easily prevented. Throughout history we have seen a decrease in bee population, but nothing as severe…

A note requirement is that the 'Teacher 'only performs trophallaxis in the presence of its Naive candidate. Finally, Trophallaxis provides a Naive bee with the knowledge to go out and complete a task, that would be otherwise impossible without learning it itself (Caro & Hauser, 1992). While it is unclear it the process is Emulation or teaching or plausibly a Combination both of these factors. What…

Megan A. Collins Ms. Smith EN 102: Argument and Research 10 November 2017 Saving the Honeybees Without the honeybee we could be a starving world on the verge of extinction. Thankfully we have the South Carolina Beekeepers Association that is working to encourage the public’s interest in beekeeping and provide an education platform to train beekeepers for the future. The mission of the South Carolina Beekeepers Association is aimed at education and advocacy to make certain that South Carolina…

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…

strange behavior, Hafernik put them in a container. John Hafernik discovered that the bees have died in the container and with them were tiny brown pupae. Hafernik figured out that when a female zombie fly lands onto a honey bee, the fly starts to inject fly eggs into the bee. The honeybees showed signs of strange zombie-like behavior when they get injected with the fly eggs. I agree with their belief in how the bee’s behaviors are related to zombie…

water source be shallow to avoid bee fatalities by drowning. This can be accomplished by filling the majority of the container with gravel or pebbles and filling it with just enough water to lap against the rocks, but not submerge them. The bees can easily gather from the pools of water or suck the moisture from the surface of the rocks. Shelter A bee shelter is necessary to help keep the beehive shielded from the elements and creatures that could harm it. A bee shelter is a relatively simple…
