over 500 discovered species and possibly 100 more are yet undescribed. Generally‚ stingless bee colonies make far less honey compared to honey bees. Meliponines basically have stingers with highly reduce and unable to be used for defence‚ mate only once‚ and do not use water to cool their nest or pure wax to build it. They are also unable to freely swarm to reproduce. The workers of stingless bees feed on bee bread while the queen feed on

Evans-Pritchard’s article titled Einstein was right – honey bee collapse threatens global food security‚ it is almost unbelievable that people don’t understand how much honey bees effect our lives. It’s not just about sweet things‚ honey‚ or flowers‚ but in the service honey bees provide as pollinators of farms and gardens. Most people do not understand the multiple crises facing the bee population that continue to empty the hives. In his discussion of the honey bee collapse‚ Pritchard notes that “Almost a third

“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe‚ then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees‚ no more pollination‚ no more plants‚ no more animals‚ no more man‚” Albert Einstein once stated(goodreads). Bees have been a critical aspect of all premise of nature. They have flourished for millions of years and have survived as servants of nature. Humans have continuously relied on the natural life processes of bees. The honey bees are a keystone species within the biosphere

colony collapse disorder. The symptoms include the dwindling and insufficient numbers of worker bees with few or no dead bees around the colony‚ the presence of bee brood (bee larvae)‚ the presence of food‚ pollen and honey deposits that are not immediately stolen by other bees or pests (or is noticeably delayed)‚ and the presence of a queen bee. This is a seemingly spontaneous disease‚ but there is much speculation about the actual cause for this strange and deadly behavior. The theories range from

Save The Bees! Einstein supposedly said‚ “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees‚ no more pollination‚ no more plants‚ no more animals‚ no more man.” According to the United States Department of Agriculture‚ “about one-third of the human diet comes from insect-pollinated plants‚ and the honeybee is responsible for 80 percent of that pollination” (“NBC”). Additionally‚ “bees pollinate over ninety five flowering crops. Among

(rodenticides)‚ and others (Toxins). Pesticides were created to maximize crop yields by protecting the plant from possible attackers and are composed of chemicals that are dangerous (A history). Combining chemicals to create pesticides pose even greater risks (Bee). Proper research was not done on the possible effects that these chemical pesticides could have on attackers‚ or farmers. Current research has proven

So‚ by cutting down trees‚ people are destroying their habitats. There is a simple solution for this. Construction workers should be required to scan the trees for bee hives before they cut them down. If they find one‚ then they can build around the tree‚ or can reconfigure their plans so that the tree isn’t harmed.

What would happen if the bees die Something terrible is happening to bees. Hundreds of millions of them are either vanishing or dropping dead. Beekeepers are tearing their hives out in frustration. [pic] Look how cute these things are?! Fingers are pointing at a number of contributing factors. Relatively new pesticides designed to impregnate the seeds of crops before they have grown could be a potential problem. Climate change has been isolated as a likely cause (though to be fair climate change
