All beehives serve the same purpose‚ to hold honey (why do bees build hives). When bees

Introduction In this experiment‚ we observed the pollination of various plants by various pollinators in the Binghamton University Nature Preserve. We collected data by observing various plants by the pond trail area of the nature preserve and attempted to explain why some plants were structurally more attractive to pollinators than

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
