Salt Lake Bees Research Paper

Volk is a writer for Discover magazine and he follows around Darren Cox who is a 50 year old beekeeper who tries to make a change. The biggest question they are trying to answer is what is killing the bees, and how can it be stopped? Cox’s bees do not produce the amount of honey they used to and he would like to see an answer. Another point they consider is that the bees are not only dying, but they are weakening. He believes that the quality of work that bees put out is diminishing, which is then leading to the decrease in the quality of the honey in recent years. Volk’s article helps display how losing bees will impact us significantly. As far as solving the bee problem it is not what I was looking for but, I will use it as an example of what needs to change.

The team won the Negro League title in both 1935 and 1936. After losing several key players, such as, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, and Cool Papa Bell, the team was unable to recover and as a result, was forced to close in 1938 (“Baseball History”). Leroy "Satchel" Paige was known as the best and fastest pitcher to ever be a part of the Negro Leagues. Satchel Paige compiled a total of sixty-four consecutive scoreless innings, twenty-one straight wins, and a 31-4 win to lose record in 1933.

The Modesto Bee is a California daily paper, established in 1884 as the Daily Evening News and distributed constantly as a day by day under an assortment of names. Preceding its buy by Charles K.

In 1933 it changed its name to the Modesto Bee and News-Herald, and in 1975 truncated the name on its masthead to the Modesto Bee. Its present proprietor, is the relative firm, McClatchy Company, an American daily paper organization.

Ah Christmas/Winter. The time of the year marked by the sound of joyous carols , cheerful talk of holiday plans, skating, candy canes, turkeys, family dinners, christmas sale signs plastered in front of almost every store, jesus coming down from the heavens, crappy nativity art and the general feeling of togetherness. But also as not being recognized by most people the one time of year when bee colonies are suppose to begin to healthily dwindle in numbers. As part of of an healthy ecological cycle, many wild & domesticated bee populations decline a bit in number during the winter season only to revive themselves later in the spring/summer, but that hasn’t been the case for many years. Ever since 1998 beekeepers have noticed significant drops in bee populations, throughout all seasons. In 2011, Canada saw

Due to the segregation and the distrust she had it was hard for her to trust white people like debras daughter lily and for her to gain confidence to marry again.

As the reader starts every chapter, they will realize that every chapter starts out with an epigraph, which foretells the theme of every chapter. Every epigraph involves bees, which the author uses as a comparison tool for humans and their interactions with their surroundings.

Member of the Olympia Beekeepers Association (OBA). As an active member I took part in the negotiations that arranged for the installation of bee hives at the Olympia Airport. My outreach group and I, working on a pollinator awareness project, installed two hives and have been maintaining them for two years. Our current collaborative efforts with the airport are advancing an auction to donate our honey proceeds in support of a local woman’s shelter. I developed and facilitated a Pollinator Awareness briefing for the Squaxin Island Tribe’s Community Garden team. I have also, for the last two years manned the OBA Grays Harbor Fair both promoting pollinator awareness and education in our community.

For those that don't know, the current name is short for Metropolitans. However, this name wasn't always a clear choice. In 1961, Owner Joan Whitney Payson suggested "the Bees' for a name (among others).

In the early morning in Illinois, a yellow and black honey bee was sipping away at a lavender flower, which is called a wild lilac, a popular flower that many honey bees get their nectar from, so it can bring back the nectar to it’s hive. When the bee is all done, it starts to fly back to their hive.

Bumble bee is a large, burly bee that often has mostly black and yellow coloring. Bumble bees may be seen flying among flower blossoms during spring, summer, and fall. They live in most countries, from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Australia and some Pacific islands had no bumble bees until people brought them there. Fine, thick, hairs cover bumble bees' bodies.

Jim and Jan Nesti have been in the bee business for years and their bees aren’t dying. To keep their bees safe they had to know what’s killing the bees.

Research from a team of Florida State University scientists are helping to explain a changing global climate and a decrease in the bumble bee population around the world. A study published in Ecology Letters, researchers are examining three highland bumble bee species in the Rocky Mountains. They found out that for some bumble bees, a changing climate means that there isn’t enough flowers to go around.

Research on the behavior of bees oddly resembles that of humans. Some worker bees lay their own eggs, a function usually reserved only for the queen. These worker laid eggs are usually eaten so the social order of the hive does not get disrupted (Luntz, pg.1) “One hive examined showed that worker bees were successful in laying and producing eggs, and also protecting them in areas the queen was excluded” (Luntz, pg.1). This works as an advantage by furthering generation when they are endangered, but also a disadvantage to the world, because bees are busy reproducing, when they should be pollinating the Earth (Luntz, pg. 1). Genetically altering the beehive, is needed to maintain a healthy genome and successful hive. The honeybee genome was finally

Scientist at the University of Queen Mary of London discovered that bumblebees can learn how to collect food from challenges like pulling a string and are able to pass that ability to the rest of the colony. This is the first time intelligence has been seen in an insect; and, the first time that a cultural spread of this caliber has been seen in invertebrates. These findings are important because not only does it show that bees, like the honeybees, have the intelligence to solve problems or learn to solve problems on their own; but, it also shows that other bees can learn by observing a trained bee do the same thing. This experiment also gives insight to the social and culture interactions in animals that may show the evolutionary roots
