    The Vanishing Bees

    There are more than 20,000 bee species known around the world, with the honeybee being the most common. These important bees are disappearing rapidly (Lynn Hermann, 2011). Honeybees are the most important pollinator on the planet. In North American, a third of fruits, nuts, and vegetables require pollination of the honeybee (Seeley, 3). The loss of our black-and-yellow pollinators would mean the serious decline of agricultural products, which directly threatens civilization’s food supply. Research has linked several factors to the rapid decline in honeybees; these factors included over use of chemically treated crops, the Colony Collapse Disorder, and environmental factors.…

    In vitro studies show that tea tree oil can be used as a topical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) eradication regimen in a laboratory setting. This report has been researched using a wide range of journals and internet sources to find out whether tea tree oil can be used as an alternative to Mupirocin for those suffering from MRSA colonisation. The journals that were searched contained useful information about tea tree oil as an antiseptic, however, many of the studies, like Hada et al (2001), looked at inhibiting the MRSA colonization rather than eradicating it. There were three studies found to be useful in this review. The first was Dryden et al (2004) which found Mupirocin to be more effective than tea tree oil by only a small percentage. The second study by Caelli et al (2001), which had considerably fewer participants, showed a large but non-significant improvement in eradicating MRSA compared to traditional treatment. Finally, the third study by May et al (2000) was performed with two chemically different tea tree oils and found a rapid killing time (less than 60 min) was achieved with both tea tree oils with most isolates, but MRSA was killed more slowly than other organisms. This study does not include murpirocin, however, it shows the success rates of tea tree oil as an antiseptic. All of these studies are cited in a review found by Flaxman (2007) which compares two randomized controlled trials which was undertaken to show the effects of tea tree oil and mupirocin in eradicating MRSA. There are currently an insufficient amount of studies to support the viability of tea tree oil in clinical practice against the eradication of MRSA.…

    Honeybees are vital to the argricultural security of the United States as well as the entire world. Without their pollination process, many crops around the world would fail. “Of the 100 crops that provide 90% of the world’s food, 71 are bee pollinated, and honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are the managed pollinator conscripted to provide the necessary pollination services for most of these crops” (Frazier et al 2015). It is important for the Honeybee population to remain stable, but pesticides used by farmers that grow these crops are depleting them. Without honeybees, we as a society get our food would have to change drastically to keep up with current demand for food. (Figure 1)…

    It’s a disturbing fact that most people do not realize how important honey bees are to humanity. The truth is they are in a worldwide decline by phenomenal numbers and that is something that people should pay more attention to. Honey bees are disappearing at an alarming rate and that will have a major impact on the lives of everyone. The disappearance of honey bees would not only mean less pollination of important plants to our society but also could lead to higher food cost. After reading and analyzing Ambrose Evans-Pritchard’s article titled Einstein was right – honey bee collapse threatens global food security, it is almost unbelievable that people don’t understand how much honey bees effect our lives. It’s not just about sweet things, honey, or flowers, but in the service honey bees provide as pollinators of farms and gardens.…

    "High annual losses of honey bees, as well as range reductions and local extinctions of wild and native pollinator species, are concerning because bees are important plant pollinators" (Brutscher, McMenamin, and Flenniken 1). 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.…

    Studies that look at the possible antimicrobial effects of herbs and spices are important because their results can help people avoid foodborne illnesses. For example, because cilantro has been shown to have antimicrobial effects against Salmonella, people can use this knowledge and incorporate it into their own lives. They might choose to include cilantro more often in their food dishes containing chicken or eggs to help reduce the risk of enteritis from a Salmonella infection. Enteritis is a bacterial infection of the intestine that causes inflammation, fever, and sometimes dysentery. Particularly virulent strains of Salmonella can cause internal bleeding that leads to a systemic infection and sometimes death (Tortura et al., 2010). Not only can individuals choose to use herbs and spices in their food in order to help produce an antimicrobial effect, but companies can also choose to manufacture products containing the antimicrobial components of herbs and spices. Continued research of herbs and spices is important so that humans can continue to produce more effective antimicrobial products such as soaps and fruit/vegetable washes. The products and knowledge gained from research on herbs and spices can help humans’ live healthier lives and avoid infection.…

    Bees can provide an alternate source of income through their honey whilst simultaneously pollinating the native flora as well as a farm’s crops, which rely heavily on bees to thrive. Honey is a big market in Australia with the approximately 20,000-30,000 tonnes of honey produced annually (RIRDC, 2014), which is why this is a viable option for this farm in conjunction with other crops.…
