The honey bee is vital to an estimated $117 billion annual production of crops through pollination within the United States more than a half of the food that humans consume has a correlation with the bee either directly or indirectly. The USDA reports the following food products would be immediately damaged if no bees were available to pollinate:

Furthermore bees specifically are particularly efficient with it being estimated that they are the sole pollinators for 50% of the approximate 80% of flowering plants which rely on insects for pollination (Bradbear, 2009). Their efficiency is further illustrated by the fact that a single colony containing 25,000 forager bees is able to pollinate 250 million flowers per day (Bradbear, 2009). As a result of this it can be seen that bees are hugely important as pollinators with many species of flower being completely dependent on them. Furthermore, the importance of bees extends beyond ecological diversity; certain types of bees are hugely important economically. In addition to pollinating a large variety of fruit and vegetables, bees produce Honey; together this results in them having an estimated value of service of £200m a year in the UK (National Audit Office (NAO), 2009). Overall it can be seen that bees are of significant importance that any decrease in population should be treated with concern, as a result of this a large quantity of research has been conducted into identifying possible

Sandra Sanchez is a vice principal for Los Santos High School. She has been approached by the principal of Los Santos and the superintendent to head up a pilot to implement the Common Core standards. Sandra was selected given her experience with the bilingual makeup of the district, and her work on her PhD in assessment. In addition the district had decided to bring in an outside design consultant, Vincent Peters, to assist Sandra in developing the training courses and assessment that will be used in the pilot at Los Santos. Given these dynamics it is apparent that the client is the Los Santos High School. It could be debated that Sandra is the client, but since she will be assisting in the full design process of both the training and the assessment she falls more into the designer classification. Vincent’s role is solely the designer of the training and assessment he will just have support from Sandra in doing so.

Since the late 1990s, beekeepers around the world have observed the mysterious and sudden disappearance of bees, and report unusually high rates of decline in honeybee colonies. Bees do more than just make honey! Bee transfer pollen and seeds from one flower to another, fertilizing the plant so it can grow and produce food. Cross-pollination helps at least 30 percent of the world's crops and 90% affects our food. The sweet fruits humans eat such as, strawberries, mangoes, grapes, apples, and bananas would not be the same taste wise as they are now. We simply couldn’t live in the same world if it weren’t for the bees.

In the article,”The Wrong Way to Think about California Water,” by Michael Hiltzik, Hiltzik explains how people think the scarce water in California is being used, and explains how the water is actually being used. He begins by saying bottled water is something the press is complaining about, but not much water is being bottled compared to the amount used for agriculture. He then explains how people think that we use too much water on nuts specifically almonds. Hiltzik says that although a lot of water is used for agriculture, nuts like almonds are actually water efficient compared to other crops. The author’s final points are that we should be complaining about the water used on lawns and that we need to create

There are many people who have a stake in the healthcare industry. There are several stakeholders such as the patients, healthcare providers, insurance companies, organizations, and those who enforce policy. The patients’ interest is the need of the best healthcare procedure to be healthy. As a healthcare provider the quality of care that can be useful for patients. Insurance companies sells health insurance to patients or employer that can be beneficial to providers. Organizations develop plans that are used for patients. Policymakers create and implement laws that to improve quality care to the public. These stakeholders can play a major role in the safety concern of patients. The concern for the safety issues of vaccination in children

What you may not know is that honeybees play a huge roll in America’s agriculture, whether it is pollinating alfalfa hay to feed your horse or pollinating that apple you eat every morning for breakfast. Honeybees pollinate about one-third of crops species in the U.S. (Vanishing Bees, 2008). Bees pollinate a lot more than you would think a few more examples are almonds, avocadoes, cucumbers and peanuts.

The economic worth of global food production supported by animal pollination is at a whopping $265 billion dollars. Bee’s themselves are responsible for the harvest of crops such as nuts, melons and berries, and plays varying roles in the production of citrus fruits, apples, onions, broccoli, cabbage, sprouts, courgettes, peppers, aubergines, avocados, cucumbers, coconuts, tomatoes and broad beans, as well as coffee and cocoa. ( Yes, that’s right without bee’s you wouldn’t be able to relax to/enjoy the sweet taste of, of a hot cup of chocolate after a long winter day). but with bee’s in consistent decline what does this mean for a growing population. Fewer bee’s would mean most likely result in higher prices for fruits, and vegetables. Less food available for mass consumption. So what can we do? In order to reverse the damage done to our bee populations, it is important that we now as a community make steps to encourage ecologically safe farming practices. That means start grocery shopping regionally, and locally and when the holiday/winter season is over and spring rolls around reduce the everyday use of pesticides, and other stuff while

According to savebees.org, a corporation trying to spread awareness and help raise awareness, one in three bites of food we eat is thanks to bees. Think coffee, nuts, seeds, berries, fruits and vegetables (and even many of our oils). The honey bee population is decreasing and the effects are changing the world as we know it and one part that is being majorly effect is agriculture. Honey bee populations have been declining all over the world. Without honey bees the world as we know it would be totally changed.

The most important aspects of the project include the budget and the schedule. When presenting the project theory to the key stakeholders and decision makers of a organization, “how long will it take” is one of the main questions or concerns. This is very important in case the health care facility needs to shut down during the project or if there are modifications that have to take place. In the case of the project that I choose there is no need to shut down the health care facility or cause any major modifications, only minor changes will be made. When looking at the roles, the schedule is ultimately left up to the director, manager, and assistant manager. The director would be the one to make the final changes and improvements that are needed for the schedule before it is presented to the key stakeholders.

In the U.S. , bees pollinate over $15 billion worth of crops. This includes favorites like apples, berries,

It’s quite very simple, since California has written a law imposing a significant 25% reduction in residential water consumption, which barely has an impact on even individuals already abusing their use of water. Farmers whose main crops are almonds, face difficult times during California’s crisis. Since almonds require a large amount of water to produce, farmers have went to drastic measures to ensure they’re able to still continue producing their crops. These farmers have begun to drill deep wells on their land so they have the water supply to help produce their crops. These wells the farmers are drilling are the savings account if you will, in which they drain billions of gallons from the states already depleted ground water reservoir. This raises the question on whether preserving the last of our water is more important than preserving the economic contributions of nuts? It does sound very controversial to halt all exports of all almond production, but I do believe California should impose some sort of regulation on agricultural industry until the drought problem is

Bees are vital to farmers and ranchers because they’re necessary to keep their crops reproducing.

Looking at all stakeholders in the case of drought in California versus almond, we have to collect information from many sources. From one source from the side of the almond’s farmers, I understand that the water usage restriction caused them a big loss. We also have to remember that almond farming creates lots of jobs. . we should see the big picture such as how the international industries involved in this situation. For example, The chocolate industry such Lindt, Nestle, Mars, Hersey and others depend their raw material such as almond. If we don’t take into account the importance almond production in the future, we will risk lots of lost jobs, and also loss of the internationally well-known high quality almond of California, which is the

The United Nations reports that approximately 70% of the world’s crops, valued at close to $US200 billion, are dependent on bee
