crops and flowers. As honeybees gather pollen and nectar for their survival, they pollinate crops of fruits and vegetables. “Some crops, including blueberries and cherries, are 90-percent dependent on honey bee pollination; one crop, almonds, depends entirely on the honey bee for pollination at bloom time” (KAUFFELD). According to facts listed by the Almond Board of California, “one-third of global food production volume relies on pollinators, to some degree” (@almonds, Bee). The honeybee starts its

Honeybees are important pollinator in the ecosystem, which provide pollination to crop. Most of the crops are relied on the pollination of honeybee for reproduction. However the colonies of the honeybees are affected by a syndrome, which causes the population of honey bee decrease rapidly in winter. Honey bee undergoes a serious pressure from Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), which is a mysterious problem. It causes a dead colony occurs with no adult bees or dead bee bodies can with the queen,

Oliver, 2002). In a generic mutualistic relationship, both organisms gain fitness benefits from the interaction, but are not dependent on each other for survival. In the yucca plant-yucca moth interaction, the yucca moth provides essential cross-pollination services to the yucca plant, and the yucca plant provides a predator-free location for the yucca moth to lay its eggs, as well as providing nutrition for the larvae in the form of some of its seeds (Moisett, n.d.). Since the interaction between

An Analysis on Bees, Pollination, and Their Importance Abstract: This paper explores the roles of bees in their hives and dissecting their extremely sophisticated colonies, with a focus on how they pollinate and why pollination is detrimental to agriculture. In my research I discuss the causes of their declination, and what kind of preventative actions we can take as inhibitors and consumers to support them. This analysis draws upon primary and secondary sources including online journals. What

Extinct?”). Furthermore, bees are incredibly industrious as a single bee is able to make 7-14 foraging trips a day, visiting 50-1000 flowering plants in one trip (Bradbear). A colony of 25,000 bees is able to pollinate 250 million flowers. This mass pollination is made easier due to their ability to communicate with one another through a dance. They are able to inform other bees the distance, quality, and direction from the nest where a certain type of plant is with a dance (Bradbear). Plus, bees have

evolutionary consequence of deception?” was written by Salvatore Cozzollino and Alex Widmer. In this article they discuss two types of deceptions in orchids: food deception and sexual deception. These methods of deception, which are used for pollination, have proved successful where there are pollinator limitations. However, where there are successes there are also consequences. Some factors that orchid deception effects are: mating systems, the evolution of reproductive isolation, and the evolution

Pollination is the process of transferring pollen one flower to another flower which causes fertilization. Pollinators are an very important part of the reproductive cycle for plants, and farmers need them, too. According to the Food and Agriculture of the United Nations “United States Department of Agriculture, one third of agricultural production in the U.S. depends on pollinators”. Most of our food comes from pollinators. Pollinators can be small insects, such as a bee or butterflies, moths or

and pollination will be explained in this paper including their predation, prey and other economic factors. Honeybees play a major role in some land ecosystems where there is green vegetation which are covered for 3 to 4 months a year. Many plants and animals would not survive in certain temperatures, deciduous woodlands, and tropical forests if bees were not existent. This is due to their crucial manufacture of fruits, seeds, berries and nuts which are very reliant on insect pollination and Honeybees
