Honey Bee Research Paper
Animal Research: Honey Bee The honey bee, also known as the western honey bee, is an important insect to our ecosystem and everyday lives. Without the honey bee, we and other animals would not be here for so long. Honey bee’s main purpose is to pollinate flowers and plants to retrieve nectar to make honey. In return, fruits and yummy flowers bloom for all to consume due to being fertilized by the bees. Bees only have a lifespan of about 4-6 weeks depending on the time of season, so it’s very important for them to harness as much nectar as they can as a food storage for the winter. This animal is precious to the earth’s ecosystem and we need to make sure that it doesn’t disappear forever. The honey bee originated in Southeast Asia and Europe

    The book I selected is called Horsefly and Honeybee, which is a fiction book written by Randy Cecil.This book is about a horsefly and a honey bee who fought over a flower and each lost a wing. Because they could no longer fly they were captured by a bullfrog and soon to be eaten. But, they decided to work together and use the remaining wings they had to fly away. By doing so, they escaped, became friends, and shared the flower. This book is at the instructional level for the majority of the class and is for ages four to eight and grades pre-k to third. However for a handful of students, who i’ve noticed are at a higher reading level than the rest of the class, this book would be somewhat simpler. But, the moral gained from the story is something…

    Larkin’s use of alliteration when unfolding the content, that of Bleaney’s room, ‘flowered curtains, thin and frayed, Fall to within five inches of the sill’(l.3-4) creates an ironic bleak description of the things which presumably once surrounded Mr Bleaney; this contrasts the function of alliteration as its usually used in a playful manner. Using such a feature allows some light-heart, creating a rhythmic flow to the poem, despite the dismal atmosphere being presented. Larkin uses alliteration quite a few times in Mr. Bleaney, ‘Behind the door, no room for books or bags’ (l.9) signifying that the room in which he resided in was so box size that there was no space for leisure or anything exciting, not even behind the door where it may not…

    Each year since 2006, bees have gradually been disappearing from their hives or dying off. Bees have died off before in the past. This is called colony collapse disorder or CCD. In the past CCD was cause by mites or infections, but now this is caused because of the commercial agricultural farmers. Bees play a key part in pollination. When the crops are pollinated by the bees, they are capable of producing the fruits or vegetables the human population eats. Farmers primarily depend upon the bees to pollinate their crops. The honeybees were the most adaptable bees out there because they would pollinate almost any of the plants. Other bees were only attracted to specific plants or flowers.…

    Bee Colony Collapse

    • 1324 Words
    • 6 Pages

    However, Bee colony collapse disorder has contributed to an approximate loss of about 30% of pollinators each year for the last ten years. This is a big increase in the average loss of pollinators from the 1990s-mid 2000s which varied from 17%-20% per year (Johnson). While the numbers are not exact, there is a noticable trend of a decrease in bees. There are, unfortunately, no formal statistical evidence on the population of wild bees. Therefore, it is difficult to know how they are faring and how that would compare to the bees that are kept in beekeeper hives. Yet overall there is clear statistical evidence that supports the claim that the bees and dying in increasing…

Thousands of people don’t understand the importance of bees. The bee species are in serious trouble. There are new diagnostics on the importance of the bees, so we must come up with ways to save them and also have information as to why they are dying.…

    The Decline of Honey Bees

    • 793 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Honeybees were brought to North America from Europe in the 1600s. They produce honey and pollinate crops. In recent years honeybee populations across the continent have declined by as much as 70 percent. Their loss could effect fruits and vegetables such as apples, broccoli, strawberries, nuts, asparagus, blueberries and cucumbers. Honeybees pollinate $14 billion worth of seeds and crops in the US every year. Therefore, if honeybees disappear, they could take most of our insect pollinated plants with them, potentially reducing the human being to little more than a bread and water diet. Biologists are studying the reasons behind the enormous bee die off happening across the country; they call it Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). It occurs when a hive's inhabitants suddenly disappear, leaving only queens, eggs and a few immature workers. The term was first applied to a drastic rise in the number of diasappearances of Western honey bee colonies in North America in late 2006. The cause appears to be related to chemicals, electromagnetic radiation and Varroa mites.…
