When you look at the bees population in the U.S. from the past and compare it 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

Alcohol consumption in sexually frustrated fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster Ankit Sharma April 8‚ 2013 BIO 534 Introduction The fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster show addiction-like behavior towards alcohol where the flies seem to be physiologically dependent on (Atkinson et. al.‚ 2012). The flies can thus exhibit a cognitive dependence where such behavior is stored in memory and same behavior is also shown in the future. This addiction is linked to NPY neuropeptide levels which can

Neonicotinoids‚ nicotine-similar pesticides‚ threaten bee populations‚ which pollinate agricultural crops‚ ensure food security and maintain biodiversity. Scientists Sebastien Kessler and Maj Rundolf sought to understand pesticide effects on bees. Through a laboratory study‚ Sebastien Kessler tested abilities of honeybees and bumblebees to taste common neonicotinoids. Unlike Kessler‚ Maj Rundolf assessed neonicotinoid impacts on bee colonies’ near canola fields. Each scientist had a unique plan
