Kayla Luft ENR 4000 October 5‚ 2017 Assignment #2 In assignment one I wrote about how pollinating bee populations were declining around the world and the solutions that can prevent this from happening. Addressing this issue can be very difficult. Not only are humans causing this problem but the bee population has a disease that is destroying the colonies. Currently there really isn’t a policy in place to regulate the problem but there are informal efforts that are being put into place by the

organisms such as the honeybee. Without honeybees‚ the majority of fruits and vegetables would be diminished. Albert Einstein supposedly once said‚ "If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth‚ man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees‚ no more pollination ... no more men!". Common pesticides are key factors in the declining bee population and colony collapse disorder. A disorder where seemingly healthy bees abandoned the hive‚ leaving the queen

three classifications of Bee keepers; hobbyists‚ sideliners‚ and commercial keepers. Hobbyists usually only own a few hives and are not usually profitable because of the large initial cost of buying the bees‚ and buying/building the equipment. Sideliners usually own enough hives that they are able to make a profit‚ and commercial keepers own several hundred or thousand hives. Only about 5% of beekeepers are commercial keepers but they product about 60% of the worlds honey. Someday‚ hopefully next

Future For decades‚ the metaphorical story of the “Birds and the Bees” has been told to children in order to explain sexual intercourse. Since honey bees are an important part of the fertilization process among plants‚ also known as pollination‚ this story is a good way of speaking openly about the subject without using technical terms. When a honey bee lands on a flower‚ their feet slip into little grooves that hold pollen sacks which they carry with them until they land upon another flower. Once

to now‚ It is very obvious there is a problem. In recent years the bee population has been declining somewhat rapidly do to an unknown cause. It is very obvious that bees play an important role in the ecosystem and for humans. Honey bees help the process of pollination. This process happens when a Honey Bee lands on a flower and transmits pollen grains (Male) to the stigma (Female) inside the flower. This happens everytime a bee lands on a flower. This process is more important than ever‚ due to

Introduction: 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

Honey bees are insects have have three segments of their body‚ which six of them are visible and the other three parts include: legs‚ singer‚ and antenna. Honeybees have a exoframe‚ which is stiff and contains an overlay of wax‚ but honeybees do not have internal bones compared to
