“The honey bee is a historic insect that has been living for over 100 million years.” Recently the bee population has been suffering and decreasing dramatically. Large amounts of crops require pollination from bees in order to produce food. If the honey bee population keeps decreasing there will be a dramatic drop in foods and goods. Society appears to not notice or care, “it will take a dramatic drop in wanted goods and popular foods to scare people into actually caring about the honey bees.” The

Benton Smith Ent 3011 Dr. Benson Behavior Lab Introduction During my behavior lab experiment I observed bumblebees in the Botanical Garden. I got a better understanding of their habits by doing this and realized they are very busy insects. They act as if they are in sequence and do not waste any time at all. I observed three types of habit, which were flying, feeding and mating. I would have never believed some things about them if I hadn’t have seen it in person and I am very glad I was able to

There are many problems with bees currently. One of those problems includes the decline of the bee population and their hives. On the other hand there are many good things that are related to bees. An example of this is the pollination of plants by bees. If bees did not exist then there would be a drastic decrease in most of the food that people eat on a daily basis. Bees are kept for several reasons. Honey bees are mostly kept for commercial use or just a hobby. These bees are called Apis

Scientists and Beekeepers Can Make Killer Bees Less Aggressive People discovered honey since an ancient time and considering it as liquid gold. There are many kinds of bees that produce honey, and it differs from place to place. One remarkable species is African honeybee which well known for its ability to produce more honey than other species and survive in hot climate (Anne, 2006). Evans and Butler(2010) have acknowledged that some species of honey bees are known as Killer bees or Africanized bees

Once a year, a day in August is reserved for bees. This isn’t surprising considering the fact that there is a day for well, everything. Saying that, we shouldn’t dismiss ‘Save the Bee’ day without giving it another thought. The true is that these tiny creatures are in danger. This should matter to us because of the immense impact they have in our life. Don’t believe me? Keep reading to find out more about the value of bees, the danger they are in and how you can contribute to saving them! Why are

Save the Bees The presence of a bee generally scares people. So they swat at it, which makes the bee angry and defensive, which causes the bee to sting. Once the bee stings someone, it dies. Most people might think their death is a good thing. Unfortunately, various species of bees have been added to the endangered species list (Kennedy). Bees pollinate about 70% of the crops used by 90% of the world (What Would Happen) and as of February 2017, 10 million bees have died since 2010 ( Bennett). Bees

INTRODUCTION Across the globe, there are many regions that are solely dedicated to produce different types of crops and other produce in order to support the needs and demands of society. Many of these areas are concerned with ways to maximize their crop production, and often many insects, particularly true flies (order Diptera), potentially affect these crops during the growing and harvesting seasons. Dipterans have vastly important roles throughout ecosystems across the world, mainly having the

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

holes. The beekeeper hat as is with other protective clothing should be white in color. Bees don't consider the white color as a threat. However, just show up in a dark colored suit or protective clothing and you are in for a tempest like no other (bee-style). For some reason, they do not like the color white and will get distracted and not see you as an enemy - perhaps up until you start to grab the honey

they both benefit each other. The benefit that the Bee has of the flower is the Bee pollinate it, which they don't do on purpose, but has they go from flower to flower pollen falls on the flower on their way back to the bees hive. The flower benefits the Bee because the flower produces pollen which the Bee uses as food. Pollen and honey are the only food bees eat. The relationship between the bees and flowers evolved through co­evolution when a Bee accidentally landed on a flower and found sugar and
