Bees

Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known for their role in pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in nine recognized families though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.

Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them to obtain the nectar from flowers. They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in females, as is typical for the super family. Bees all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but none are wingless.

The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are about 2.1 mm (5/64") long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee whose females can attain a length of 39 mm (1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most common type of bee in the Northern Hemisphere, though they are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies.

    There are about 900,000 known insect species, three times as many as all other animal species together, and thousands of new ones are described each year. They are commonly grouped in 27 to 32 orders, depending upon the classification used. The largest order is that of the beetles (Coleoptera). Next, in order of size, are the moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera); the wasps , ants , and bees (Hymenoptera); and the flies and mosquitoes (Diptera).

    In my opinion, the killer bee was created by scientists in brazil to help decrease the population of humans. From the moment they were created, killer bees induced around one thousand deaths every year..After escaping the lab the killer bee began taking over mexican and american honey bee hives. Our descendants of southern african bees brought to america by brazilian scientist trying to breed a regular honey bee to an african bee and created the one and only Killer Bee. Killer bees have been in the unites states for over seventeen centuries, so people had a long time to get used to them.

    They consist of over 98% of the colony's population. Although the worker bees they never mate, the workers possess organs necessary for carrying out the many duties essential to the colony. They have a longer tongue than the queen and drones to help them suck pollen from flowers. Their stomachs are something else. A worker be can eat nectar and have it in her and then turns in into honey. An average hard working bee will make up to 1/12 of a teaspoon in its entire life time. Her legs also have pollen baskets on their legs to transport the pollen to the hive. The kind of work performed by the worker depends largely upon her age. The first three weeks of her adult life, during which she is referred to as a house bee, she is devoted to stay within the hive so that her wings can dry out and grow strong so that she can then leave the hive to find pollen (stone). The male bee is called a drone, drones only have one purpose and is the only male bee in the colony. The drone population is very slim, drones may only number in the hundreds even when the colony is doing its best. Drones are the only males in the colony and are not self-reliant and must be feed and cared for by the worker bees. He is allowed to remain in the hive only because he is needed to mate with a new virgin queen when the old queen dies. When the queen is about one week old that is when she fly’s up 200 to 300 feet in the air to mate.…

    Sue Monk Kidd has carefully crafted a book rich in symbolism with special emphasis on bees. Each section’s heading features the inner workings of this communal society (Emanuel, Catherine, B. 3). An epigraph at the beginning relating to bees sets the tone for the each chapter. The first chapter epigraph states: The Queen, for her part, is the unifying force of the community; if she is removed from the hive, the workers very quickly sense her absence. After a few hours, or even less, they show unmistakable signs of queenlessness.” Man and Insects.…

    Bees are an intricate part of today’s society in the form helping to produce foods and also their contribution as insects play a valuable part in nature. There is a place, a southern village of Sichuan, China where bees no longer exist. Farmers meet every April with bamboo sticks and chicken feathers to begin pollination of their crops. This long and labor-intensive process the farmers endure is due to the lack of bees (Benjamin and McCallum, 11). Not only is this disappearance of the honeybees happening in China, but it is also being discovered all around the world.…

    The bees reached an apparent climatic limit to their southern range in the middle of Argentina, and their range is expected to be similarly limited to the southern and coastal states in the United States. They have hybridized to some extent with resident wild and hive populations of European honeybees. However, many of the basic African honeybee traits remain, including rapid population growth, frequent swarming, minimal hoarding of honey, the ability to survive on sparse supplies of pollen and nectar, and a highly defensive nature.…

    Did you know that bees are found in almost every corner of the globe and make almost all crop life through its pollination? Maybe you did, but we tend not to think about it very often. And by it I mean the insects. Seemingly countless bees, and all insects for that matter, stretch throughout all of planet Earth. This ridiculously large amount of insects is split up between six million and ten million different species. That’s an insane amount of variety! The Insect Fair puts this variety into perspective. I spoke with the manager of the Farm Store Dawn Taccone about the fair. He noted how diverse all the arthropods are from each other, saying, “[they] have 500,000 insects split between several thousand different species.”…

    Honey bees, although one of the most popular bees, represent only a small percent of bee species. Honey bees are the only surviving group of bees from the Apini tribe, which is under the Apisgenus. They are known for producing and storing honey, or liquefied sugar, as well as building impressively large nests using wax secreted by workers in a particular colony. The honey bee is one member of the insect class Insecta. These insects are members of the subfamily Apinae, which produce and store liquefied sugar, otherwise known as honey.…
