(around 28°C). The bees were either put into the container alone‚ in a group of three‚ or in a group of ten. The researchers then watched the bees see when they would start fanning. They also looked to see whether this differ between different types of bee- because in honeybee colonies the workers have different roles (for example nurse‚ guard‚ fanner and forager) The scientists found that fanning bees were much more likely to fan when they were in larger groups (it was seen in 19% of single bees‚ 33%

plantlife to far-reaching swathes of identical crops‚ a number of insects were responsible for pollinating plants. As farming became more efficient and reduced the once varied landscape to a monotone green‚ so the farmers began to encourage the populations of bees to carry pollen from one flower to another. This is a fantastic arrangement - as long as bees stick around. As bees became more and more successful‚ and better integrated with the farming lifecycle‚ other species started to die out‚ until

the other way when we hear the buzz of a bee. But the buzzing is music to a beekeeper’s ears. As the name suggests‚ beekeepers keep bees. The main reason for keeping bees is to collect their honey. Honey is a mixture of plant nectar and fluid from the honeybees’ bodies. The bees put the honey in a cell in the honeycomb. Bees can live almost anywhere‚ but they will make more honey if there are flowers nearby. The bees need the flower from nectar to make honey. One of the most important tasks of a

Collapse Disorder) causes significant economic losses because many agricultural crops worldwide are pollinated by western honey bees. Several possible causes of CCD have been proposed but no single proposal has gained widespread acceptance among the scientific community. Some of these theories include infections with Varroa‚ which are mites that are recognised as the biggest pest to honey bees. Another cause that has been discussed is malnutrition‚ various pathogens; genetic factors‚ loss of habitat and

nature is likely part of a greater story. Bees have been producing honey from flowering plants for the last 10 to 20 million years. As major contributors to floral growth‚ bees provide nourishing habitats for animals like birds and insects and beautify the Earth. Many of the floral landscapes that we know and love in nature are made possible because of honey bee pollination. Worldwide‚ there are around 25‚000 different types of bee species (around 4‚000 in the U.S.). There are over 4‚000 genera

Perhaps the most fascinating creatures that come to mind are the bonobo ape (Pan paniscus)‚ the red fox (Vulpes vulpes)‚ the green iguana (Iguana iguana)‚ the common honey bee (Apis mellifera)‚ and the human being (Homo sapien).

some of these plants grow fruit‚ nuts‚ and vegetables. The pollination process happens when bees transfer pollen from one plant to another so that the plants can make seeds and reproduce. Bee populations are rapidly declining. There are threats against the bee colonies which are causing a decrease in the population‚ including : pesticides‚ habit loss‚ wildfires‚ and monoculture. Some ways to stop the decrease is to make a pesticide that does not harm bees‚ decrease the amount of habitat loss‚ and
