detach from the bee‚ and the bee still survives‚ allowing the bumble bee to attack predators multiple times. The workers also have a very important role in helping their hive by collecting pollen‚ which in the process helps the environment with the pollination of plants. The workers of the hive go out to collect nectar from flowers and feed themselves‚ and only produce enough honey to feed the young bees. Bumble bees can be found in northern regions and in higher altitudes than other bees because of their

Throughout the history of mankind‚ the Western Honey Bee has proven to be of many uses to the human society. The study of the honey bee has shown the true intricacy and efficiency of their colony. Each member of the colony works together in a nearly flawless environment

Genetic engineering in agricultural crops serves as an exciting route in future possibilities of food production. Several benefits result from this technology‚ where genetically modifying crops has the capacity to improve genes that provide better resistance to stress—whether it be resistance to pests‚ severe weather such as frost or drought‚ disease‚ or from chemical

Honey bees has been considered a beneficial introduction; it distributes as a pollinator and the provider of the hive products. Some scientist has questioned the environment role of bees outside of their natural state or range. Majority of plant species are used by honey bees‚ which set some high potential disturbance for pollinator relationships. Honey bees do not necessarily harm plants: they are also unlikely to enlarge hybridization of native flora. Honey bees usually use a small proportion of

According to Pamela S. Soltisand Douglas E. Soltis‚the fossil record that they found out does not clarify basal groups within the angiosperms. However‚ it clearly identifies a number of form and structure of diverse lineages early in angiosperm evolution. The earliest known large fossil confidently identified as an angiosperm‚ Archaefructusliaoningensis‚ is dated to about 125 millionyears or also known as Cretaceous period‚ whereas pollen considered to be of angiosperm origin takes the fossil record

This allows the Joshua tree’s flowers to being able to bloom‚ which produce seeds that are then spread and produce a larger Joshua tree population. The yucca moths will also bonus from the pollination of the flowers by when the eggs they lay hatch the larva will eat the flower to live. Both the yucca moth and the Joshua tree need each other to live in their environment. Parasitism in Joshua Tree is where a flee benefits on a coyote. It’s a parasitism

Gymnosperm Lab Introduction The word gymnosperm comes from two Greek words that mean "naked-seeded‚" in reference to the fact that gymnosperm seeds are produced out in the open on cone scales‚ while the seeds of flowering plants are produced completely enclosed within fruits. In the previous lab we learnt that bryophytes and Pteridophytes of the kingdom Plantae‚ reproduce by spores. In gymnosperms and angiosperms (flowerng plants)‚ however‚ dispersal is primarily by means of seeds‚ which are considerably

DEBATE REGARDING GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS INTRODUCTION:- For thousands of years‚ human beings have modified nature’s organisms for usage in agriculture. New technology has furthered this trend: recombinant DNA technology allows biotechnology firms to insert DNAs into plant genomes‚ thereby creating plants that express the desired traits. Use of such genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has prompted controversy‚ especially for its role in ensuring food security. As such‚ the use of
