Ronnie Estes Rocky Mountain Flora March 31, 2015 Milkweed Description Common Milkweed, Asclepias syriaca, is a biennial to perennial herb in the family Asclepiadaceae. This forb usually has a solitary, simple stem, 0.5-1.8 meters (1.5-6 feet) tall, though clumps of multiple stems may be found. Milkweed may also be rhizomatous through the growing season. This may be evident with stems being at different life stages throughout the summer. The leaves are opposite, ovate, and 5-25 centimeters (2-10…

been possible without the care of characters such as Taylor, Lou Ann, and Mattie. In the second stanza, Mattie’s garden growing alongside is provided as another example of how beauty can stem from the ugly, being described as a “wild wonderland of flowers and vegetables and auto parts.” The speaker follows by describing the experience of Estevan and Esperanza, a married couple of undocumented immigrants seeking escape from repression in Guatemala. Estevan’s experience of witnessing interrogation…

of bees are dying off. If all the bees died off, we would have no food. It is time to worry about the nation's most indispensable farm workers. Bees are pollinators along with some other animals and insects. Bees transfer pollen and seeds from one flower to another, fertilizing the plant so it can grow and produce food. At least 30 percent of the world’s crops and 90 percent of wild plants rely on cross-pollination to grow. More than 15 million dollars a year in the US are pollinated by bees.…

Another frequent topic among the literature on honey bees are their origin or from where they first inhabited and radiated out from. In the early work of Mark Winston “The Biology of the Honey Bee” it is stated that the natural geographic distribution of the genu Apis shows its greatest species diversity in India and adjacent regions, with all species except A. mellifera found there. Noting that these regions probably constituted the area of origin and early evolution of the Apini (Winston 1991)…

image What this zine about? If you have not heard, recently, the bee population has been rapidly declining for the past few years. There are many factors that have contributed to the loss of bees, including Colony Collapse Disorder, pesticides, chemicals, loss of habit, among a host of other problems. If bees do die out, this would be... In a word? Bad. See, of the 100 crops that 90% of the world consume, over 70 are pollinated by bees. (Here’s a full list!)These crops include many different…

transects were studied to look for visiting pollinators at the flowers during each of the 30 minute periods. There were four 30 minute periods beginning at 0900, 1200, 1500 and 1800. During the start of each period an observer would walk for 2 and half minutes down each transect and recorded any of visitors on the study plants. This process was then repeated five more times (Barthell, 2001, 1872). The same plants used for the flower monitoring were used to analyze seed set effects. To do this…

Closure in Lycidas What is the right response to death? How and to what extent should we mourn the ones we love? When John Milton's college friend, Edward King, drowned off of the Welsh coast 1, Milton wrote Lycidas in memoriam. A pastoral elegy, the poem represents King as the lost shepherd Lycidas and uses agricultural imagery to portray loss. The majority of the poem is spent highlighting the irrevocability and completeness of death, that is until lines 165-168: "Weep no more, woeful…

Flowers beautify the world and bring joy to those in it. Some people become inspired by flowers and write, sing, and talk about them. All of the literature that comes from flowers evokes many different emotions and touches on many different topics. Sometimes the writings can stem from sadness, enjoyment, forgiveness, or jealousy. Many of the greats of literature have written about flowers and used them to explore topics and themes that others may not touch upon. The poems “Asphodel, That Greeny…

Why Honey Bees Affect Agriculture You may see a bee buzzing by, landing on a flower and not even think of the huge effect they have on ‘the world’ around us. Today, I will be talking about how and why honey bees affect Agriculture. The first reason is that honey bees are a big part of pollination everywhere around the world. Providing pollen to farmers' crops and other wild plants. The second reason is that honey bees make honey. Providing food for us and other animals. For example Bears.…

Today, I decided to take a walk through to Crotona Park, which is located in the South Bronx. New York City obtained the property from Andrew Bathgates as part of the partnership of the Bronx Park department in 1888. It was known as “Bathgate Woods.” The park was already popular for its scenic view, which includes its trees and its pond. There was a debate when it came to naming Crotona Park. The city planned to name the park Bathgates. A disagreement with the family made a Parks Department…
