Harnessing the power of a bees

Harnessing the power of a bees Honeybees are flying insects and a close family of wasps and ants. They are found on every continent on earth, except for Antarctica. Bees of all kinds live on nectar and pollen. Without bees, pollination would be obscure and time-consuming – it is estimated that one-third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination. Honey bees have a long, straw-like tongue called a proboscis that permits them to drink the nectar deep within blossoms. Bees are also outfitted with two wings, two antennae, and three portioned body parts (the head, the thorax, and the mid-region). Bees are organized insects that live in colonies. The hive populace comprises a queen, two or three hundred drones, and many working bees. Male bees are called drones. Their job is to mate with queens from other hives. Queen Bees are one bee per hive – she is the mom of all the other bees. She is the only fertile colony member and lays about 1,500 eggs a day during spring and summer.

• Generating income all along the honey chain:

Many health and nutritional benefits, there’s always a requirement for natural honey. Over the years, locals have used honey for healing wounds, anti-inflammatory, and as a dietary antioxidant, among others. Honey is additionally instrumental in aiding digestive issues like diarrhea.

• Increasing productivity through cross-pollination:

The bees from the forest are instrumental in increasing the productivity of the adjacent farms. During pollination, bees move light pollen grains around. Good pollination boosts the stability, quality, and variation of crop yield, leading to increased farm productivity. Yields of carrots, onions, and maize in particular benefit from the bees reared in the Loitokitok forest. As such, farmers will have more produce to sustain their livelihood. Benefits of bees Pollination Bees are liable for pollinating nearly 85% of all food crops for humans and various crops that grow the food fed to farm animals. If honey bees are not there, our options for nourishment would be seriously lacking, and there has been research conducted that predicts environmental collapse should the honeybee no longer exist. Crops Bees use pollen for food converted into energy, allowing the bee to fly for extended periods to gather and distribute the pollen. Due to the bee’s attention, crops thrive and produce fruit, vegetables, flowers, nuts, seeds, beans, and much more. Honey Honey is natural and features a long list of health benefits thanks to its anti-bacterial properties. Produced without chemicals and human impedance, honey is a healthier alternative to the high fructose corn syrup that has invaded sweets and processed foods in recent years. Wax Beeswax is often found as an ingredient in furniture wax, beauty products, lip balm, chewing gum, and therefore the waxy coating on cheese rounds. Anti-Bacterial constituents It’s crucial to point out that honey is not a cure. Still, it has certain benefits of fighting off some illnesses or alleviating the symptoms of some ailments. Honey and beeswax contain a byproduct called propoils that is an anti-bacterial agent. How some plants need bees to make more berries Pollination likely improves fruit because it stimulates two major plant hormones. Auxin promotes cell division and growth, increasing the weight and firmness of the fruit. Gibberellic acid delays softening, helping the fruit resist bruises and mold. It’s unknown how pollination affects fruit color. Still, the change makes sense for the plant’s goal of attracting animals to disperse the seeds. How bees are not a pest but beneficial insects

• Bees are beneficial due to their pollination services, helping to provide food in fruits, berries, nuts, leaves, roots, and seeds.
• Honey bees also pollinate foods eaten by other animals and birds.
• Birds and mammals may depend on berries, seeds, and some fruits and nuts pollinated by bees and other pollinators.
• One estimate facts that pollination by wild bees gives an average of $3,251 per hectare per year to crop production.
• It is not just flowers and food crops that are pollinated by bees. This point is often neglected, but many trees are pollinated by bees (and other insects).

How the world food supply would stop without Bees There are around 20,000 species of bees globally, and they are probably the most important insect pollinators. If all the world’s bees died off, there would be major rippling effects throughout ecosystems. Several plants, such as many of the bee orchids, are pollinated exclusively by specific bees. They would die off without human intervention.   Without honey bees, they would set fewer seeds and would have lower conceptive achievement. This, too, would change ecosystems. Beyond plants, many animals, such as the wonderful bee-eater birds, would lose their prey in the event of a die off. This would also affect natural systems and food webs. In terms of agriculture, losing bees would dramatically change human food systems but would not likely lead to famine. Most humans still get calories from cereal grains, which are wind-pollinated and unaffected by bee populations. However, many fruits and vegetables are insect-pollinated and could not be grown on such a large scale, or so cheaply, without honey bees. Blueberries and cherries, for example, depend on honeybees for up to 90 percent of their pollination. Although pollination is a possibility for most fruit and vegetable crops, and expensive. We have developed tiny robotic pollinator drones in Japan. Still, they remain prohibitively expensive for entire orchards or fields of time-sensitive flowers. Without bees, the availability and diversity of fresh produce would decline substantially, and human nutrition would likely suffer. Crops that would not be cost-effective to hand- or robot- pollinate would likely be lost or persist only with the dedication of human hobbyists. Change people thinking of bees from pests to a necessity. About one-third of everything we eat is pollinated by honeybees and plays an important role in sustaining the planet’s ecosystems. Some 84% of the crops grown for human consumption, around 400 different Kinds of the plants need bees and another insect, so Pollinate them to increase their yields and quality. So how do the bees pollinate? Quite simply, the bee gets covered in pollen from the male part of the flower (the stamen) and deposit the grains on the female part (the stigma) of the next flower that they visit. Luckily for the plant, bees tend to visit flowers from the same plant when they are flowering rather than flit from one plant to another, so the plant can have sex.
