Wasps Investigation

The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees by E. Lily Yu tells the fictional story of the relationship between an overpowering wasp community and a docile bee community. The wasps take over the bees, basically rule over them, and instill their very different way of life on them. A group of anarchist bees that oppose the wasp government secretly escape and begin a new community. The story abruptly ends though when both the cartographer wasps and anarchist bees die from humans and the cold. Throughout The Cartographer Wasps and the Anarchist Bees, Yu creates tension to build toward the climax.

The sounds of this creature was described as “A crunching, a crackling, a crushing , heavy thumping” and

The purpose of this experiment is to measure the speed of sound in air and to determine the effects of frequency on the speed of sound.

Another job WASPs had was flying target planes. This job may have been the most dangerous one of them all. WASPs flew the planes back and forth with a target trailing twenty-five feet behind them, as antiaircraft crews shot at them. During these tests, two WASPs lost their lives. Although they never had to see the firefights from overseas, they had a taste of their own firepower. Even though two of their own died, WASPs had an accident percent of nine percent as opposed to the male percentage of eleven.

The topic of house cricket aggression in response to residency has been previously studied. (Alexander 1961) split this aggression behavior into five levels: 1) no aggression, dominance, or retreat; 2) no aggression with a retreat by one cricket; 3) mild one-sided aggression with mild repercussion; 4) moderate to intense aggression from both crickets; or 5) sustained combat. Interestingly, in Polistes wasps (Pardi 1948a), Sphecius wasps (Mr Norman Lin, personal communication), and crayfish (Bovbjerg 1953; Lowe 1956) aggressive behavior has been split into four or five levels.

Statistical tests were performed to ensure that the order of the sounds didn’t affect results. The researchers also tested connections between nest identity and observation location. Finally, they verified whether trials could be looked at individually when the same nest was tested because the same individuals may have been observed more than once. After all these statistical tests, the trials were adjusted to include the best results that showed no confounding variables.

Last week, The students that attended Ridgedale Middle School have to run a mile semi annually for physical education. This seems like a normal event, but in one of the trees, lays a gigantic nest with yellow and black insects entering and exiting. This Hornets nest can fall at any second! And yet, they still have students running underneath it. For “The Mile,” the students of Ridgedale Middle School(RMS) could have been drastically injured! Many students have drawn the conclusion that this nest is is responsible for all of the bees on the grass field, in front of the school. Above, this nest is hanging on a 50ft branch, which is something that even the oldest grade, eighth grade, didn’t even knew existed;”All this time, I’ve been running

When one considers important events in US history, things like the American Revolution, the Westward Expansion, or the Civil Rights Movement come to mind. One in particular that I find compelling, is the creation of the Women Airforce Service Pilots better known as WASPs, during World War II. I find it interesting because prior to this time and after this period, woman had a very limited social status. But for a brief time in the 1940s, women achieved not only job equality but went above and beyond what society expected in many areas. The WASPs were one such group who broke barriers in more ways than one.

It was a normal, peaceful Wednesday morning in Tuscon, Arizona. Four landscapers were called to tend to a yard for a ninety-year-old man. One of them turned on his lawnmower. Almost immediately, the vibration of its engine had disturbed an enormous hive of approximately 800,000 Africanized bees nearby. The noises appeared to be a threat to the colony. As a result, thousands of them swarmed the men, injected their venom, and clogged their orifices up, such as their ears and nostrils. There were so many bees that one of the first responders had described the sky getting dark from the flock, although it was sunny out. From this attack, one man died and another received one hundred stings. This one of the many examples

In the article “Biologists Discover Sophisticated ‘Alarm’ Signals in Honey Bees”, Kim McDonald talks about how scientists have recently discovered that honey bees can deliver warning signals. She discusses with James Nieh, a scientist studying bees, about the experiments that were conducted at The Chinese Academy of Science and Eastern Bee Research. Nieh says how they used hornets such as the Vespa Mandarina and Vespa Velutina to encourage the Apis Cerana honey bees to emit their signal. When talking about the signals produced, Nieh says, “Our experiments showed that these different types of stop signals elicited different and appropriate responses. Bees attacked at food sources by bigger hornets produced a kind of stop signal that more effectively

For the study, local beekeepers worked with researchers at Louisiana University and the United States Department of Agriculture. Parts of the study were conducted in the field and in the laboratory. Researchers used the insecticides commonly used against mosquitoes to find out what level of the insecticides would become toxic. Field tests were done through a truck spraying fields with mosquito repellent. Cages of bees and mosquitoes were placed in the fields at different distances to see the effect.

C:Claim: The bee population is on a rapid decline, we must do something to help prevent them from undergoing extinction. E: Establish Evidence: Bee populations are not just decreasing in certain regions, the population is decreasing in majority of the world. E: Evidence: Heavy losses have been reported by beekeepers from various different countries like; Britain, Spain, Poland, Greece, Croatia, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Portugal. (“Buzz Kill”) A: Analysis: This shows that a decline in the bee populations are not only is it happening in the United States, but that it is also happening all over Europe because multiple countries are experiencing heavy bee losses. E: Establish Evidence: Although there are very detrimental losses in majority of the world, the US has also

The method used to acquire the data is appropriate because the phenomenon is being observed in a wide range of areas and not only one area. Furthermore, a large sample was used 200-500 bees were used therefore suggesting that the data is reliable. By doing this sort of sampling they wanted to observe whether there were common factors, which are present in CCD, present in bee colonies separated by large distances

In this paper, I will discuss a play by Athenian playwright Aristophanes, The Wasps. First, I shall give a brief overview of the The Wasps. Then, I will examine the courtroom scene of the play and argue that Philocleon is not an impartial juror. Next, I will discuss generational gap in Athens. Finally, I will conclude the paper with my outcome of the investigation of the conflict between Misocleon and Philocleon.
