1980s‚ honey bees and beekeepers have had to deal with a host of new pathogens from deformed wing virus to nosema fungi‚ new parasites such as Varroa mites‚ pests like small hive beetles‚ nutrition problems from lack of diversity or availability in pollen and nectar sources‚ and possible sublethal effects of pesticides. These problems‚ many of which honey bees might be able to survive if each were the only one‚ are often hitting in a wide variety of combinations‚ and weakening and killing honey bee

INSECTS An insect is a creature without a backbone and with a body divided into three main parts: the head‚ thorax and abdomen. Most insects have three pairs of legs and one or two pairs of wings. The ’feelers’ or antennae on the insect’s head are it sense of touch and smell. Some insects have a sting in the abdomen. We already know that there are over a million different kinds of insects‚ and many new species are being found all the time. Insects are by far the biggest group of creatures on

BIODIVERSITY It is important to maintain diversity as loss of one kind of species can result in the loss of another kind of species. For example‚ pollinators‚ if they are lost‚ then there is loss in plant species too as there are no organisms to spread the pollen grains so plants can reproduce. This loss in plants affects us human beings as we need plants to survive.They are essentially our primary source of food. It is essential to conserve the diversity of pollinators and sustain natural ecosystems in order

Many species of bees have recently been put on the endangered species list. They are vital to our food supply and help our crops grow. They help produce food‚ fiber‚ and shelter for us. Waves from cell phone towers or the rising heat could be the reason for the species decline in number. We can help to protects the bees by raising hives on our own‚ and by trying not to use harsh pesticides. Bees are what pollinate our crops. Without them the flowers could not be pollinated and would die. Without

Flowers and fruit may also be present‚ but some trees such as conifers instead have pollen cones and seed cones‚ and others such as tree ferns produce spores instead. Trees tend to be long-lived‚[1] some reaching several thousand years old. The tallest known specimen on Earth is 115.6 m (379 ft) and they have a theoretical maximum height
