How Does Bumble Bee Affect Society
The humble bumble bee is a slow and gentle insect much unlike its cousin the honey bee. Indeed they are never in a particular hurry as they go about their business collecting pollen in the gardens and surroundings that they live in.

If you happen to come cross a bumble bee nest that is in your garden or backyard, then you will not suffer any misfortune if you just leave them alone. It is when you aggravate them that they can get angry and come out with the aim of attacking those that have angered them.

There are three different kinds of bumble bee which are significant in their family. These are; the female worker bee, the queen bee who is the head of the bee family, and the drone bee, which is the male bumble bee.

    African Honey Bee Lab Report

    In his report, biologist John Anderson, bee specialist, wrote: “Africanized honey bees are evolved so that they can survive in conditions with limited resources. The hives of bees currently pollinating the plants in our lab have plenty of nectar to make into honey. The bees seem to getting larger. This is rather disturbing to me because Africanized honey bees are already a very aggressive species of bee, they are nicknamed ‘killer bees.’ Yesterday afternoon I saw something very strange on one of our cameras.…

    The Bee Meeting Analysis Essay

    Larkin’s use of alliteration when unfolding the content, that of Bleaney’s room, ‘flowered curtains, thin and frayed, Fall to within five inches of the sill’(l.3-4) creates an ironic bleak description of the things which presumably once surrounded Mr Bleaney; this contrasts the function of alliteration as its usually used in a playful manner. Using such a feature allows some light-heart, creating a rhythmic flow to the poem, despite the dismal atmosphere being presented. Larkin uses alliteration quite a few times in Mr. Bleaney, ‘Behind the door, no room for books or bags’ (l.9) signifying that the room in which he resided in was so box size that there was no space for leisure or anything exciting, not even behind the door where it may not…

    Compare And Contrast Essay On The Secret Life Of Bees

    Unlike a human government, “A hive without a queen was a death sentence for the bees. They would stop work and go around completely demoralized.”(286). In a human government, we elect a leader and someone to take their place should something happen to them. In a bee community, if a queen dies or leaves the hive, all the bees stop working and their society falls apart. There is also the emotion issue “I hate you!”(39). Humans possess the ability to feel and think for themselves, and one of our strongest emotions is hate. Bees do not hate other bees to our knowledge, and they are drones who work as a unit, not free-thinking individuals. Although humans and bees are obviously very different, we are very much alike as…

    Beekeeping Research Paper

    They consist of over 98% of the colony's population. Although the worker bees they never mate, the workers possess organs necessary for carrying out the many duties essential to the colony. They have a longer tongue than the queen and drones to help them suck pollen from flowers. Their stomachs are something else. A worker be can eat nectar and have it in her and then turns in into honey. An average hard working bee will make up to 1/12 of a teaspoon in its entire life time. Her legs also have pollen baskets on their legs to transport the pollen to the hive. The kind of work performed by the worker depends largely upon her age. The first three weeks of her adult life, during which she is referred to as a house bee, she is devoted to stay within the hive so that her wings can dry out and grow strong so that she can then leave the hive to find pollen (stone). The male bee is called a drone, drones only have one purpose and is the only male bee in the colony. The drone population is very slim, drones may only number in the hundreds even when the colony is doing its best. Drones are the only males in the colony and are not self-reliant and must be feed and cared for by the worker bees. He is allowed to remain in the hive only because he is needed to mate with a new virgin queen when the old queen dies. When the queen is about one week old that is when she fly’s up 200 to 300 feet in the air to mate.…

    Bees Argumentative Essay

    Bees are miraculous in their own ways. Humans are intrigued by their social structure and how within a hive each bee has its very own role. There is only one bee, the queen, within the hive that lays eggs and keeps reproducing. Drone bees, or male bees, have one purpose and that is to fertilize new queens. Lastly, the most essential and largest quantity of bees are the workers. They forage for pollen and nectar, contribute to the care of the queen and drones, feed larvae, protect the hive and perform other task to ensure the survival of the colony. (Lehmann) For as long as bees were created, they have been a vital part to this world. Rachel Bale from “Everything You Wanted To Know About The Bee Die-Off’ states, “Bees are responsible for about…
