values each year” (Honey). This means that if the consumer wants anything from an almond to a zucchini, they most likely would not have that product available to them without the honeybee. Flowering plants need some way to transfer pollen from one flower to another in order for reproduction…

The plant of study for this experiment was Mimulus guttatus, also known as the monkeyflower. This plant produces yellow flowers that are bilaterally symmetrical and have five petals. Interestingly, their petals are fused together and contain the anthers and stigma, the reproductive parts of the plant. This morphology makes this species cosexual, so each individual flower contains both male and female parts. Since M. guttatus is hermaphroditic, it is considered herkogamous, which…

To Bee or Not to Bee “According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible” (script-o-rama.com). Large amounts of bees are dying all around the world due to pesticides and fungicides on crops that contaminates pollen they collect. Bees are responsible for the pollination of more than half of the crops…

There are millions of insects in the world. Though one of the most fascinating species is the bee. Honey bees are well known for living in hives. They are also known for being one of the world’s biggest pollinator. The honey bee is one of the most well known specie of bee, and a well known pollinator. They are separated into different classes by what they do and their appearance. They live interesting lives, but what is life like inside a honey bee hive? I.what is a beehive? A. In the world…

Without bees the pollination of our crops and flower would either not occur at all or would be less efficient. Bees are extremely productive pollinators. They are apart of large colonies that can be moved around when needed and work together to make the process productive. They have a process called flower fidelity where they focus solely on one specific species of the flower as a group and then after move on to the next. This process helps aid the flowers and crops in reproducing and growing a…

seriously degraded the tree prior to the bees infested. These bees range across the Eastern United States and Canada. They are important for pollinating different flowers across there range. Farms and nurseries use these bees to help pollinate gardens and some crops. This is done when the bees feed on the nectar of the flower. The pollen on the flower gets on the bees’ body and they…

Carnations and Circumvention Flowers have long been a symbol for love, adoration, sex, and beauty. In Willa Cather’s short story “Paul’s Case” flowers are used to represent something else entirely. The ever-fleeting and defiant nature of the main character is likened to flowers many times throughout the story. On the surface it might have seemed like Paul, the main character, had a simple fascination with flowers because of their beauty; however, the relationship goes much deeper than aesthetics…

and harmness. Wings are important feature in insects, specially for bees and butterflies, it helps them with the pollination process which is necessary for the future of our food. Bees can fly to smaller areas and transfer pollen between any flowers , unlike butterflies where they can fly to longer distances but do not pick up much pollen on their bodies and only land…

also important for wild plant growth, food source, wildlife habit, and biodiversity. In the article 5 Ways, Bees are important to the Environment, and it discusses how bees are important for everyone. As the article states “As bees move from flower to flower in search of nectar, they leave behind grains of pollen on the sticky surface, allowing plants to grow and…

In many cases bees have been labeled a nuisance. To some people, especially people who are allergic to bees, these flying insects are no help; yet, in most cases they are essential to the survival of flowering plants or angiosperms. They complete the reproduction cycle of these plants and without them some plants would not have a successful pollination. Besides beekeepers, and other jobs where work relates to bees, these important creatures go unnoticed. Including bees “insect pollinators merit…
