Self-pollination

Flowers are thousands of different varieties and not many people ever wonder what makes the flowers more exquisite or what process relation the flower has with the pollinator. In the Southern region of Texas there’s nothing but cactus; sometimes on the cactus you can see some pink, red, orange, and yellow blooming on the cactus! First time people see that, it’s a little shocking because how would an organism feed off it, when there are thorns connected to the cactus. Lucky for the cactus there

Bees have existed for about 100 million years, and they have played an important role in the pollination of plants. A long time ago, pollination was crucial to the balance of the food chain. Without it there would have been no food for the herbivores and they would have become extinct; so no food for the meat eaters. They have been doing their job for millions of years, but recently scientists have observed problems within the colonies which could have negative effects with in our ecosystem. For

Bees are buzzing away Honey bees have been dying due to diseases and poor nutrition. Also the pesticides that farmers put on their crops add to this problem. The problems started to happen when bees started to have poor nutrition and this caused them to get diseases. The bees started to die out and there were not enough to pollinate the flowers. It affects us in many ways too. “But for the past decade more bees have been vanishing.” by Lindsay Lowe, paragraph 8. The government is working on solutions

pollinating around one-sixth of the flowering plant species worldwide and approximately 400 different types of plants. Without the pollination of bees, a large portion of the world’s food supply would vanish; different studies have shown that between 50-80% of the world’s food supply being directly or indirectly affected by the honey bee population. From the pollination of apples, or of the seeds used to produce grain for livestock, the food chain is strongly linked to honey bees. Furthermore, bees

Bee colonies are being destroyed and the bee population is decreasing. In October of 2016, for the first time in the United States, bees were placed on the endangered species list. I think we as a country should focus more on protecting the bees so that they will not become extinct. The agriculture industry in the U.S. depends on the bees to produce food, fiber, and shelter. Bees pollinate the crops, which helps keep them alive. Farmers need bees to pollinate their crops, so that they won’t die

To make just one pound of honey, bees must visit at least two million flowers. In a year, a bee colony makes 60 to 100 pounds of honey for us to enjoy. Unfortunately the bees, the only insect that create honey, are slowly dying and becoming extinct. Hives and hives of bees are ingesting pesticides, called neonictinoids, that many farmers and other people use on their crops, causing death and endangerment, which is exactly why the United States must ban the harmful neonictinoids. First of all, there

All kinds of honey bees perform about 80 percent of all pollination in the world. One bee colony alone can pollinate 300 million flowers each day. Not everything but most fruits, nuts and vegetables are pollinated by bees. 70% human food crops—which supply about 90 percent of the world’s nutrition—are pollinated by bees. The loss of bees in America has greatly affected agriculture and humans both. CCD, colony collapse disorder

when bees get together to make honey, it isn't a fun process. matter of fact its a complicated hard process that these small creatures go through. when the bee gets to the nectar; which is a liquid plants make to attract pollinators, it drinks it and stores it in an organ called the crop or the honey stomach.about 25 milligrams of nectar can be stored in this small organ until the bee must return to the hive. after drinking the nectar, bees create enzymes, which includes inverse, disease and amylase

Since 2006, the population of bats have decreased significantly due to the white nose syndrome (WNS) first found in northeastern United States. This complication is due to the growth of white fungus on the nose, ears and wings of bats (Blehert, et al, 2009). The fungus responsible for WNS is called Geomyces destructas. The fungus attacks and spreads in various bat species due to the favourable cold conditions during hibernation. The infection causes a stimulation in the bats, using up their stored

I believe that the first passage is right because bees help us with our crops and they help plants to give out what they give out. People need to stop spraying chemicals to kill the bees we need the bees to help us make our plants better because without bees our plants will die and we can die too. Farmers can help honeybees by changing their habits on farming. Their are some diseases that kill honeybees that are found in nature. Other such as pesticides are made by people. People can also kill bees
