Start Beekeeping Successful

The presence of a bee generally scares people. So they swat at it, which makes the bee angry and defensive, which causes the bee to sting. Once the bee stings someone, it dies. Most people might think their death is a good thing. Unfortunately, various species of bees have been added to the endangered species list (Kennedy). Bees pollinate about 70% of the crops used by 90% of the world (What Would Happen) and as of February 2017, 10 million bees have died since 2010 ( Bennett). Bees need to be saved to ensure the Earth’s survival, along with our own.

Member of the Olympia Beekeepers Association (OBA). As an active member I took part in the negotiations that arranged for the installation of bee hives at the Olympia Airport. My outreach group and I, working on a pollinator awareness project, installed two hives and have been maintaining them for two years. Our current collaborative efforts with the airport are advancing an auction to donate our honey proceeds in support of a local woman’s shelter. I developed and facilitated a Pollinator Awareness briefing for the Squaxin Island Tribe’s Community Garden team. I have also, for the last two years manned the OBA Grays Harbor Fair both promoting pollinator awareness and education in our community.

When it comes to Sherlock Holmes and his apprentice, people will tend to think about Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. Laurie R. King wrote a book that introduced a new apprentice to Sherlock Holmes, Mary Russell. Together the two solve cases that would make them grow as person and enrich their life. The book, The Beekeeper’s Apprentice by Laurie R. King, followed the theme of the the journey of apprentice and master and how it changes them was supported and shown through the characters and setting.

“The daughters swarmed around Our Lady like a circle of bee attendants and rubbed the honey into the wood”(Kidd 269). August describes a swarm as a queen and a group of bees that leave the hive and find a new home. The beehive symbolizes community as they all work together for one goal: honey. The community that is the Daughters have followed their queen and begun their own beehive that they are accepting people into. They swarm Our Lady as she is their queen that they have chosen to follow.

1.6 million bee colonies are placed in the almond farms in California each year to pollinate the almond trees. To get there from all over the U.S. bee owners must use crates and put the bees on trucks and drive them across states. Many die on their way there from distress, panic from leaving their original colonies, and even dying from

Most students’ outlook on summer reading is negative, a waste of time. I believe that this can be proven untrue with exciting and well-written novels. Stories should be fun to immerse yourself in, and those types of books should be what makes up the 5 book list for the incoming students to this class. The novel The Beekeeper’s Apprentice is such a book, and should be included on the reading list, and 1984 should not be on the list.

Retail sales taxes are one of the best ways to collect tax revenue. If the tax rates are high in one state, then a consumer can shop online to avoid excessive sales taxes in another state. This is why many states are pushing Congress to adopt legislation to make all online retailers pay sales-tax regardless of their state of operation. Sales taxes through internet transactions have become a hot topic in the political arena, and there are plenty of politicians who are in agreement of collecting taxes from the internet including Alabama. Economically there are some states that are losing a great deal of tax revenue because certain businesses that are out-of-state are not required to collect sales-tax. According to William T. Lundeen and Tracy D. Williams (2002), “Congress cannot alter the protections provided by the Due Process Clause” (p. 18). Therefore, the Supreme Court ruled on this issue in 1992, saying that out-of-state tax collectors cannot force retailers to pay taxes.

One by one, the bees started breaking off from me, moving in various directions. I kept them tightly paced

Establishing a beehive is not as easy as capturing a few bees buzzing around your flower garden and expecting them to take to your hive. To begin, you will need 3 different types of honeybees to build a successful nest. These bees can be obtained in several different ways, but first, you need to know which bees are which and what role each bee plays in a hive.

When bees find two or more new nests, they'll vote on it (I think by humming/vibrating a certain way, they'll even try to hit bees that vote against it).

3.Beekeepers use smoke to calm down bees when they are collecting honey or when they are relocating a hive. Yep, this is the 1 way to get the honey without disturbing bees. Beekeepers are people who keep bees in order to collect their honey and other products that the bee produces including beeswax, propolis, pollen, and royal

A bee is an insect that lives in every part of the world except the North and South Poles. Bees are one of the most useful of all insects. There are 20,000 species of bees in the world (154, B: Bees). Bees get their food from flowers through pollen and nectar. They collect tiny grains of pollen and nectar from flower blossoms. Sticky nectar gets attached to the tiny hairs that cover their bodies and is distributed when bees travel from flower collecting nectar (201, B: Bees). Bees make their honey from nectar and use both honey and pollen as food. When bees are collecting nectar for food, they spread pollen from flower to flower. The process of pollination allows plants to reproduce as well as feeds the bees. Bees have become completely dependent on flowers for food. Flowers, in turn, rely heavily on bees to
