Their impact on human development has been incalculable. They are likely to outlive us. This article explores selected cases in attitudes to the honeybee, an insect with a particularly intense history of interaction with humans, from the late fifteenth to the early seventeenth centuries, mainly ...
Honey beesare arguably one of the most important beneficial insects worldwide. Their positive impact can be measured by the value they contribute to the agricultural economy, their ecological role in providing pollination services, and the hive products they produce. Honey bees, however, are exposed...
Global pollinator declines have raised significant concern over food security, human health, and agricultural productivity. Our work highlights how the Con... CRV Otto,H Zheng,AL Gallant,... - 《Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences》 被引量: 2发表: 2018年 Environmental Biomonitoring of...
GBees, then, are vital to our survival. Furthermore, much of the visual impact of human environments derives from vegetation, and most vegetation is dependent on bees for pollination. Thus, as pollinators of crops and natural vegetation, bees occupy key positions in the web of relationships wh...
Porter alluded to this expression in his witty song, "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love," (1928) when he noted that birds, bees, even educated fleas fall in love. This idiom alludes to sexual behavior in animals to avoid explicit explanation of human behavior. [Second half of 1800s...
Bees have been around for over 100 million years, and in that time they have been found in almost every part of the world. There are over 20,000 species of bees. Some bees look very different to the yellow-and-black bees we’re familiar with. Bees are important to human survival, but...
Honeybees, the primary managed pollinators, are perhaps the best known pollinators in the world. They contribute 80 percent of total insect pollination i.e. Entomophily. Importance of honey bees can be assessed by the fact the one-third of human food comes from bee pollinated crops. In ...
However, in colder climates, the impact is much greater. Tracheal mites cause adult bees to leave the hive, and affect their ability to fly and defecate, leading to large losses of young adult bees in the winter and spring (Webster and Delaplane, 2001). It is possible that many of the ...
Bees are fundamental insects in agroecosystems, mainly due to pollination. However, its decline has been observed in recent years, and the contamination by pesticides is suspected to be responsible. This relationship is the objective of our research, which is the first scientometric study on this ...
We all understand the cascading impact of the extinction of bumblebees.. I do have hope though. I see first world nations like the EU and Australia stepping up their policies and their commitment to the environment. I see that all of the major candidates in our presidential race have a ...
