The simplicity that is pollination is one that we as a race would have a hard time living without. Not only because of the food yield‚ but also the economic impact the industry has had in the last century. The act of pollination has been industrialized for a while now. Some people have even linked the act back to ancient Egypt around 2400 years ago (History of Beekeeping‚ 2010). Since then the practices have gradually moved into the United States and we have begun to see just how important these

Co evolution is the evolution of two or more interdependent species‚ each adapting to changes in the other. It occurs‚ for example‚ between predators and prey and between insects and the flowers that they pollinate. (www.dictionary.com) This relationship between two species allows for their existence. They work together to ensure the survival of the other. The Bumble Bee Orchid (Ophrys bombyliflora) is a species of orchid that closely resemble a female bumble bee in both looks as well as smell

the past few years we have begun to run short of them. Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)‚ a significant disappearance of honey bee colonies that may be affecting bees in more than 22 states‚ threatens the production of crops dependent on bees for pollination as well as honey production. Of the 2.4 million colonies of bees in the United States‚ this need is projected to increase significantly over the next few years. This paper outlines the extensive research being done to prevent the collapse of the
