Honey Bee Synthesis
The enzymes the honey bee would need to synthesize and secrete would be enzymes that hydrolyze proteins (for the pollen) and enzymes that hydrolyze carbohydrates (specifically sucrose from nectar and honey). The enzyme hydrolyzing sucrose would probably be the most prominent. This hypothesis could be tested with a use of a DNA microarray. DNA microarrays use mRNA to visualize the genes in any specific cell. A fasted honey bee could be tested and then compared to that of a fed honey bee to see what genes are most prominent.

    Day Of Honey Analysis

    The focus of this essay is to explore the different conflicts and resolutions that are undergone between racially, religiously, and culturally diverse mothers and daughters-in-law. These different conflicts and resolutions are analyzed in two literary works: Day of Honey: A Memoir of Food, Love, and War by Annia Ciezadlo, which takes place in post 9/11 America and the Middle East, as well as Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich, set in rural North Dakota from 1934 to 1984. A critical analysis reveals that the daughters-in-law of these two literary works are able to overcome their differences with their mothers-in-law through selfless acts, and forge new meaning and relationships that fulfill their lives. Annia’s relationship with her mother-in-law, Umm Hassane, begins with mutual respect and love, but transforms into a game of proofs in which the resolution takes time and hard work to achieve. In Erdrich’s novel, the relationship of Rushes Bear and her daughter-in-law, Marie, is a years-long bitter struggle in which surrender brings about a similar kind of respect and love. In this essay, through an analysis of the different conflicts and methods of reconciliation, I will argue that between the racially, religiously, and culturally diverse in-laws of these two books, respect is something that comes hard earned. These daughters-in-law are able to prove that they are worthy of their mothers-in-law’s respect through demonstrations of sacrifice.…

    Beehive Activity

    The activity of bees and their lives are strongly influenced by the changing seasons. Each month brings about new changes in behavior to a beehive and its occupants. Obviously, a beehive is less active during the colder months and more active when the weather is warm, but that doesn't mean you get to ignore the hive completely while they are inactive. That raises the question: is it better to start a beehive in cold weather or warm weather? Understanding how and when bee activity is altered due to the changing weather is the best way to make this determination.…
