The honeybee’s scientific name is Apis mellifera, Apis meaning “swarm”, and Mellifera meaning “honey-bearing”. Bees are widely known and appreciated for their ability to make honey. To make honey, they go through an intricate and devoted process.
Bees start the process of creating honey by collecting nectar from flowers. Every bee in the hive has a different job, and only “forager” bees do this one. Once they have obtained the nectar from a flower, they deposit it into a unique pouch in their body called the honey pouch. The bees also mix an enzyme with the nectar called invertase. Invertase changes the sugar inside the nectar from sucrose into glucose and fructose.
After the forager bees return to the hive, they deposit the nectar they
The European honey bee (or western honey bee, Apis Mellifera) is a species of bee that naturally occurs in Europe, but has been introduced by humans to a variety of foreign ecosystems, including Australia and New Zealand. It is of ecological importance because of the effect that this introduced species has on the biodiversity of native wildlife, in particular native bees, hollow-nesting native birds and mammals, honeyeater birds and native flora.
Apis mellifera scutellata is cross between a European bee and an African bee, also known as the “Africanized Honey Bee”, or even the “Killer Bee.” It is very similar in appearance to a typical European bee, but is slightly smaller in size, though microscopically so. The differences between the European bee and the Africanized Honey Bee are exemplified primarily through behavior and biological patterns. Africanized Honey Bees are much more prolific than European bees, reproducing up to six times more yearly than European bees. The main difference between the Africanized Honey Bee and a European bee is that Africanized bees are far more aggressive than European bees, and are more protective of their nests. The willingness of Africanized bees to attack unprovoked has earned them the nickname “Killer Bees.”
Bees are kept for several reasons. Honey bees are mostly kept for commercial use or just a hobby. These bees are called Apis mellifera, or European honey bees. These bees have a presence all over the world. They produce honey as well as pollinate crops. The most popular subspecies are Italian bees, A. mellifera ligustica. These bees are usually orange or bright yellow and can amass a sizeable population in the spring. Their way of feeding is to rob other colonies of their honey. Another popular bee is named Apis mellifera scutellata, or the killer bee as most people know it, it is also known as the Africanized bees.
Honeybees, of the genus Apis, play a huge role in our environment through pollination. One in every three bites of food you eat depends on pollinators. Pollinators transfer pollen and seeds, allowing the plant to grow and produce food. Without bees pollinating, many plants would eventually die off, including the crops that humans eat. But like any other living organism, they are subjected to disease and pests that are harmful to their population. The effective defense against disease is the most vital aspect of keeping a bee colony functioning properly. Their most effective defense mechanism that can lead to self-healing is their behavior of removing as many harmful agents as possible, such as parasites, from their colony. If the dead organism is too large, they will cover it with propolis, which prevents release of pathogens during decomposition of the body. The most important defense against disease, however, is their hygiene behavior. If they find an infected larva in a sealed cell, they will uncap the cell and remove the infected larva from the colony. If adult bees become ill, they will be forced
Honey bees are the only bees that can produce honey. Humans cannot produce it. With
Honey bees are pollinators, meaning transfer the pollen and seeds from one plant to the next so it can fertilize and grown into the crops eaten today. These pollinators help
Wild honey bees make hives in rock crevices, hollow trees and other areas that scout bees believe are appropriate for their colony. Similar to the habits of domesticated honey bees, they construct hives by chewing wax until it becomes soft, then bonding large quantities of wax into the cells of a honeycomb. When worker
Apis mellifera Or otherwise known as the honey bee are a type of an invertebrate Which are animals without backbones. now the honeybee measures to be about 5 millimeters long. Although the body color of the honeybee varies between species, honey bees how predominantly black bodies and golden yellowish Stripes. Almost all honey bees have varied from dark to light bodies to help them with camouflage. The body of a honey bee is segmented into Head thorax and abdomen. the head consists of eyes antenna in feeding structures. The eyes include two large compound eyes in to symbolize the compound eyes help bees understand color light and directional information from the Sun's UV rays while the function of the simple eyes also ocelli, Helps in determining
A bee is an insect that lives in every part of the world except the North and South Poles. Bees are one of the most useful of all insects. There are 20,000 species of bees in the world (154, B: Bees). Bees get their food from flowers through pollen and nectar. They collect tiny grains of pollen and nectar from flower blossoms. Sticky nectar gets attached to the tiny hairs that cover their bodies and is distributed when bees travel from flower collecting nectar (201, B: Bees). Bees make their honey from nectar and use both honey and pollen as food. When bees are collecting nectar for food, they spread pollen from flower to flower. The process of pollination allows plants to reproduce as well as feeds the bees. Bees have become completely dependent on flowers for food. Flowers, in turn, rely heavily on bees to
They make honey from nectar. When they fly to get nectar from a flower, they get pollen on their bodies, so when they fly to another flower they pollinate! Some people keep bees as pets! (Not actually, they keep them to make honey!) Bees are soaring insects.
Poe and Bryon are masterful at using vivid, descriptive language to develop the elements of Gothic littiture and instill a sense of fear in the reader. The plot theme is to lure Fortunato into getting trapped and then chain him and barrie him in a sick act of revege. You just get a weird and creepy feeling from the narators vibe as he states.”walls had been linned in human remains,piled to the vault overhead” In Bryon’s story ‘The prisoiner of Chillion” was also a alike idea very disturbing and a bit creepy for example thery were also chained up and could not move or see anything. Thats how Poe and Bryon both use very vivid and desriptive language in there writtings.
Animal Farm, an allegorical novella by George Orwell, depicts a utopian society based on the principles of “Animalism”. Which promises harmony and equality among the animals. As they try to work together to run the farm, power begins to corrupt the harmony between the animals. The dreadful outcomes that occur on the farm conveys humanities insatiable greed to obtain power which destroys the chances of communism which proposes equality to all. On a larger scale Animal Farm is an allegory for the rise and decline of socialism in the Soviet Union. Animal Farm was seen as a hard hitting, realistic and satire but the question is, to what extent is Animal Farm a classic? A text is considered a classic when it expresses artistic quality, stands
Although honey is the most normal product of bees, they are also making or indirectly involved in other products including candy, beeswax, pollen (as a supplement), candles, propolis (or bee blue, used in cosmetics), as well as additional bees for sale to other parties. While crop pollination is, by far, the most important and beneficial bee services, honey is the most well known and most profitable, direct product from the efforts of the bee. Millions of pounds of honey produced in the United States each year can bring billions of dollars in revenue. Natural honey is sweet, pleasant smelling, and more delicious. It can also be artificially with nuts and spices, natural
Scout honeybees begin by leaving the hive in search of good nectar and pollen sources.
These are some of the cautions that were revealed through this assessment for me: The advice characteristics shows a desire to seek considerable amounts of advice. This was a known for me and it was born out of a need to do things right without error, and trying to make sure that I do not fail. I have learned that when trying to succeed and accomplish goals, there will be times of failure. This is the way that people learn and improve. If you are in a position, where you can get feedback to help you realize your mistakes. Feedback is also important in that regard to incorporate counsel, so that proper corrections can be made. The concern with a person that operate with the need of a high level of advice is the individual will delay making decisions. This is ok for some situations, but sometimes a decision with have to be made right away. I realize with this being one of my methods of operation, I will have to practice making decisions on the fly, in order to become more comfortable making decisions without being advised. I will learn to use this as a strength, by staying up on what current in my field, therefore I will be confident in my own decisions. The second caution that was revealed from the assessment is the process creativity, which said that I prefer to stick to standard rules and practices, when implementing solutions to problems rather than shifting processes to achieve solutions. This is accurate, but the other side is I do like to follow a plan that is already
