An allergy is a hypersensitive disorder of immune system. An allergy is a type of reaction of the immune system. Substances that often cause allergic reactions are pollen‚ dust mites‚ mold spores‚ pet dander‚ food‚ insect stings and medicines. The body’s defense mechanism works over time to react against these foreign particles (known as allergens)‚ which may pose danger to normal functioning of the human system. People with allergies have an exaggerated response of the immune system.

four weeks‚ and allowed to travel outside to collect pollen from real flowers‚ while a close eye was kept on their foraging behavior. Each bee received a radio frequency identification tag to monitor when they left and returned to the hive‚ and how long each outing lasted (Dawson). The study found that colonies exposed to neonicotinoids sent out more worker bees to collect pollen‚ but those worker bees were overall less affective at retrieving pollen. This lack of effective foraging limits colony growth

bulbs (Williams and Hill‚ 1986). Due to the B. rapa having simple growth requirements and the inability to self-pollinate‚ they are an ideal organism for this experiment. Each individual plant will reject its own pollen‚ making it effortless to mate two individuals by transferring pollen from one to the other. The rosette form of the B. rapa is caused by a single gene mutation that causes the plant to be shorter in relation to the standard plant form. The shortness is due to a deficiency in gibberellins

stated that when plants are genetically modified‚ this results in modification of its chemical composition and eventually its flower pollen grains. The modified pollen grains then become sterilized. This situation malnourished the bees and finally die due to the paucity of required nutrients. Besides‚ their digestive capacities are interrupted due to insufficient pollen in their digestive system (Sustein

Australia by European settlers. The western honeybee is comprised of some 24 races or sub-species. The African honeybee‚ sometimes referred to as ‘Killer bee’‚ is a race of the western honeybee and can therefore cross-breed. Bees collect pollen and nectar. Pollen is the protein source needed for bee brood development while nectar is the carbohydrate source providing energy. Nectar is a sugar solution produced by flowers containing about 80% water and 20% sugars. Foraging bees store the nectar in
