The Secret Life Of Bees Analysis

Nurse bees have a gift for nurturing, and they always feed and care for all the baby bees. August depicts all of these aspects in her every day actions. She was once even a maid who raised a small girl, Deborah Fontanel, to womanhood. August is also a big sister, so she has the inclination to nurture and care for May and June whenever they need her. Nurse bees are substitute mothers to all the baby bees in the hive. August is similar to them in that way as well because she acts as a substitute mother to Lily since Lily's mother is dead. August also has the obligation, as a beekeeper, to take care of all the bees in all the hives that she controls. She has to keep them cool in the summer and carefully keep the whole bee society running smoothly. The queens have to be healthy, the workers have to do their jobs, and none of this would happen without August taking care of everything. A nurse bee is the most self-sacrificing bee of all. They give up their freedom to take care of others. When it came to the color of the house, August even said, “Well this is the tackiest color I’ve ever seen, and we’ll have half the town talking about us, but if it can lift May’s heart like

In The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, a young girl named Lily struggles with growing up with only a harsh father and a housemaid while trying to find her own place in the world. At the age of four, Lily accidentally shoots her mother while trying to help her in a fight against Lily’s dad. Ever since that day, Lily has a difficult time trying to be a lady and trying to cope with her somewhat abusive father. One day, when Lily is fourteen, the housemaid Rosaleen is sent to jail for pouring dip spit on white men’s shoes but later gets assaulted by the men and is taken to the hospital where Lily goes to sneak her out. In order to help incorporate the story’s title into the story, the author has written epigraphs, that are about bees, for every chapter in the book. Chapter two’s epigraph says “ On leaving the old nest, the swarm normally flies only a few metres and settles. Scout bees look for a suitable place to start the new colony. Eventually, one location wins favor and the whole swarm takes to the air”(34). This epigraph parallels the story because of the similarities in how bees move on and look for somewhere to start their new lives and how Lily and Rosaleen try to start their new

The bees believed that a communist society where they owned their own means of production would be a better life for them, but as Montgomery, the humans lawyer lost the trial he warned Barry that ‘a negative shift in the balance of nature is imminent’. As it turned out, the immense amass of honey put every bee out of a job, including the vitally important Pollen Jocks and Barry’s best friend Adam. Barry now believes he lives in an ideal world where no one has to work for anything ‘I don’t understand why they aren’t happy! We have so much now’ (Benson, Bee Movie 2007). The bees realised that living in the communist society was not the ideology they had wanted, now the bees didn’t need to make honey they had no work to do, this put bee kind in jeopardy as without bees making honey they was no pollination so the flowers were dying

Imagine living in a world without bees. What would you eat? What would you wear? What would the environment be like? You may think that there would be very little change but think again. The production in crops would decline due to the fact that 70% of the 90% crop species that we consume are pollinated by bees, not to mention that delicious honey they provide. Because of this, hunger and poverty would be at an all-time high. Our choice in clothing would decrease as well, being that cotton relies on pollination. Bees even influence our fuel; canola production would plummet causing a reliance on fossil fuels and resulting in a huge pressure on our environment. Our world would become a huge, barren desert because of plants not being able to grow. Humans would most likely die off due to starvation and thirst, and it’s all because of bees. In this speech we are going to learn about what all the buzz is about the benefits of bees to us, then we will learn about the causes of bee extinction… you wouldn’t bee-lieve it! Lastly, we will buzz on over to learn about how we can help the bees in our community.

A bee is an insect of a large group to which the honeybee belongs, including many solitary as well as social kinds. Not only are bees important to me but they are important to the human race, without bees they would not pollinate the trees therefore the trees would die and then there would be no oxygen. I have no personal experience with bees but i have seen farmers with their bees. Bees are the greatest population machine when it comes to agriculture, they could be moved to any place that they are needed for without any trouble. They can talk to each other and tell other bees were nector is so that they can get it. Bees came from the eastern tropical Africa then spread

Thesis: We need to save the bees from going extinct Opener: According to the cult phrase of the famous scientist Albert Einstein: " If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live ", saving the bees makes all the sense. We need to save the bees, especially the honey bees who are going extinct at an alarming speed because of two main reasons: 1st reason is that bees keep the order of the nature by contributing to the pollination, 2nd is that they produce a food substance that is nutritiously dense and very beneficial to health: honey. Emotion:

Bees help pollinate the plants around you, and the make the honey that we eat. They bring pollen to one flower to the other. They don’t realize, because they are busy sucking the nectar out of flowers. This allows for plants to grow. That's how it ties into our food supply. They pollinate flowers, which grow the food that we eat. Then the nectar makes the honey through the process of… I don’t know, i just know that nectar makes honey.

The bees are pollinators vital to our food chain. In addition to making honey, one third of the food we eat depends on their pollination.

People often have a misconception that bees do not play a vital role in our everyday lives, and stinging is their only function in the world. However, this could not be farther from the truth. In fact, bees actually are at the center of our lives and are essential for most of life on earth. Our club’s goal is to help the bees by creating a garden in the USCHS area that is bee-friendly and also to inform people about the significance of bees and how they can help avert this crisis.

Bees compared to ants are one of the hard working organism in the animal kingdom, because of their hard work we should be thankful for their amazing job. For example, bees are the main responsible for pollinating. They transfer the pollen from the anther to the stigma, when they fuse, seed, nut, or fruit is formed. Must of the flowers rely on the assistant of bees for the process of pollination while others can pollinate by themselves. Bees are one of the main source of food, because without the process of pollination we wouldn’t be able to enjoy our everyday goods such as broccoli, apples, almonds and many more. Also, honey is the main product make by bees. The process of making honey begins by the bees collecting nectar from the flowers,

Without our bees, our world would die and this article tells us about how pollination is in big danger and slowly our world is falling apart piece by piece. Our bees are like our family, without them our world would be a filthy place. The bees keep our air clean and the environment pure, fresh, crisp and refreshing, so without the bees are world will just fade and weaken. In this article it tells us about what causes the bees to be falling apart and to die. Due to the problems in our economy, in our farmlands, and in our fields the bees are not getting enough nutrients for themselves. The poison that farmers spray on their crops and plants causes the bees to be frail, and inadequate. The flowers where the bees are getting the food from are

The brick on bees relate to the theme of diversity because bee is a natural insect in the world and for producing honey the process of pollination from plant to plant is also part of diversity. Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains, the male sex cells of a flower, from the anther where they are produced to the receptive surface, or stigma, of the female organ of a flower. Another thing which relate to diversity is bee virus in the world which is spreading in large amount and it is generated by humans because of the pollution. Pollution from vehicles or factories is producing bad chemicals which gets mixed with the atmosphere and this is how the bees get infected from these different viruses. Bees are part of the natural diversity because the production of plants happen from pollination and by doing this they are also securing their own habitat which human can rely on.

What comes to mind when you think of bees? Personally, I think of honey and bee stings. Fortunately, bees provide us with a lot more than just honey. Believe it or not, they play a significant role in the sustenance of our ecosystem, and contribute to a third of everything that we eat. Bees are among many important pollinators, that help to increase the quality and yields of crops produced for human consumption, such as; nuts, fruits, vegetables and many other plants. Sadly, due to urbanization and modern farming practices, bee habitats are increasingly declining.

"Sometimes you hit a point where you either change or self-destruct” (Sam Stevens). Not only does this apply to the individual, but to communities, and societies as well. Many people are not fully aware of the dire situation, we as humans, have put these creatures in; the extinction of honeybees is mutual destruction for both the bees and humans. Humans are only speeding up the process with a multitude of harmful industries and other aspects. Bees are important for United States consumerism, agriculture, and the environment, yet humans continually abuse them, negatively impacting many important aspects of society and contributing to Colony Collapse Disorder.

Bees are a very important part of our natural environment, but have been dying constantly due to many problems. “Buchmann, who has spent a lifetime on studying bees is recently noticing that there are fewer of them then there used to be” (Buzz 7). Scientists have been trying to figure out solutions to those problems by observing the bees and by doing lots of research. Bees need to be appreciated and kept safe because of the many important things they provide us. It is important for humans to be well informed about how bees contribute to the ecosystem. Understanding what bees do is a very important part in maintaining their survival.
