By drawing orthogonals that diverge from the vanishing point to the edge of the picture and transversals‚ which are parallel to the horizon line‚ a grid is created. Hence‚ with this grid‚ the artist is then able to determine the size of objects within the space that has been created and faithfully represent

Collapse Disorder is occurring‚ it is possible that bees will disappear. Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is when bees disappear from their hives or suddenly die. No one knows the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder. Some think it is caused by pesticides‚ but Bryan Walsh wrote that the cause is the Varroa mite. It could be that CCD is caused by a mix of all of the theories. Some of the theories claim humans as the cause of CCD. We should protect the bees because animals relying on certain plants would starve

IMP: The secret lives of bees paper: Paul Lang Pollination The cycle of pollination is the very heart of the world of flora. It is the process by which plants reproduce. The process of pollination consists of this: the grains of pollen are moved from the stamens of one flower to the carpel of a different plant. These are like the male and female parts of plants. Most plants have both‚ but cannot pollinate themselves. Each pollen grain has half of the DNA that is needed to make

came about an observation. How do bees or any endothermic animal‚ generate the heat required to warm itself? Although Bees are invertebrates‚ they are one of the few of them to be an endotherm. This observation went into a series of experiments. These experiments revealed that before a bee flies it first shivers‚ sometimes for a few minutes. This causes a burning of glucose

Introduction The abundance of native tallgrass prairies have been declining for the past century‚ and are being replaced by urbanized landscaping. As it has been studied‚ the area of tallgrass prairies have declined over 82% since the 1800s (Larsen et al. 2003).Tallgrass prairies harbor more plant and animal biodiversity‚ compared to urban landscaping. Thus‚ the conservation and preservation effort for prairies should increase‚ in order to maintain this biodiversity. Tallgrass prairies can be protected

Methylation‚ discusses the relatively unique case of female honeybees‚ where although they have identical DNA sequences‚ there are queen bees and worker bees‚ with very distinct phenotypes. The research team began with the observation that females bees who are fed royal jelly while a larvae become queen bees‚ while females not fed royal jelly become normal worker bees. The research team then worked from the hypothesis that there is something in royal jelly that when eaten‚ epigenetically affects methylation

across from me and‚ falling back into my chair‚ started diligently working on my painting. Initially‚ I drew a horizontal and vertical line that were perpendicular to each other in order to define the horizon. Doing so‚ also allowed me to mark the vanishing point where the two lines intersected. Finally‚ I added extra lines that provided a guide to how the one-point perspective would function in the drawing. To do this‚ I visually calculated the slopes of the lines and visualized where they would intercept

Objectives The objective of this research is to aid in identifying how honey bees‚ Apis mellifera‚ and potentially all eusocial insects‚ have evolved to their current level of social organization‚ . By studying the behavior of the worker caste in the absence of the queen‚ we will be able to see signs of whether these organisms have evolved from kin selection or multilevel selection. The ultimate goal is to see if worker bees can thrive and manage a colony without a queen‚ whether they nurture a new

by what others are doing the bees use some strategies to cool down that are not dissimilar to our own. They collect water that can evaporate in the colony and cool it down. They also fan to circulate air around the colony. However‚ until recently‚ it was not clear how bees decided to start fanning scientist decided to look into how it is that bees decide to start fanning to cool their colony down. To see what temperature bees would start fanning at‚ they placed bees in a container and increased the
