Killer Bees Research Paper
In my opinion, the killer bee was created by scientists in brazil to help decrease the population of humans. From the moment they were created, killer bees induced around one thousand deaths every year..After escaping the lab the killer bee began taking over mexican and american honey bee hives. Our descendants of southern african bees brought to america by brazilian scientist trying to breed a regular honey bee to an african bee and created the one and only Killer Bee.

Killer bees are not very big organism, they are a little bit over half an inch long. Just like other bees. They are brown with a fuzzy body. Killer bees have four pairs of wings, but they do not fly very well. They are able to chase their target …show more content…
After the killer bee stings its target it releases a chemical that smells like a ripe banana.
Killer bees are less selective about where they nest, they are very capable to kill a human being. The killer bee swarms often. The killer bee does not produce as much money as a european honey bee or an american bee, but the european honey bee produces five times more than the standard killer bee. The killer bees lives in large colonies that can up to eighty thousand members, now that's a lot of bees. There is only one reason why the killer bee is called the killer bee, and that is because of their bad temper. They can easily be disturbed by objects like perfume, piece of shiny jewelry, dark clothes, and loud noisy sounds. These things will more than likely lead to an attack. The lifespan of killer bees depend on their type. Queen killer bees live around one to three years. Worker bees live around one month while drones usually live around five to ten months. The killer bee will always attack in very large numbers which is why they are so dangerous. People attacked by killer bees go through a lot of stings and may experience total

    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.…

Additionally, “ In 2008, he spotted bees walking in circles on the sidewalk outside of his lab at San Francisco University in California.” This supports that bees are being turned into zombies. Also, “ A couple of weeks later he realized that the bees had died and that the container was filled with tiny fly pupae. This shows that it is bad for us that bees are being turned into zombies because there are more flies flying around. That is why it is extremely important that we prevent honeybees from being turned…
