The first step you need to be a beekeeper is that you have to buy you're bees. After you buy them you have to choose the hive system you are going to use. You can either use langstroth hive or a top-bar hive. Once you have all the supplies you need then you just have to keep your bees healthy and safe. With could be the hardest part. All you have to do now is collect the honey when ever its time to and check on your bees every so often.]]> 2017-11-12 19:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/206025765 0715172 https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/206026704 Honey is used for a lot of things. So a lot of people will buy it. Bakers buy a lot of honey at one time for making food. One example of something they would make with it is cookies. Beeswax can also be used for many things like making candles or waterproofing compounds. One jar that is 250 grams can cost around $30. That can add up pretty quick if your bee farm is good.]]> 2017-11-12 19:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/206026704 0715172 https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/206030442 The honey is the whole reson that you are a beekeeper. In the US 200 million pounds of honey is made each year. If each 250 gram jar of honey is $30 then you could make a lot of money. Also, each year in the US 4 million pounds of beeswax is produced and sold. Beeswax can be used for many useful items too.]]> 2017-11-12 20:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/206030442 0715172 https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/206031816 Pollination is the transfer of pollen to a plant to allow fertilization. The flowers depend on bees for pollination. If bees didn't pollinate then we wouldn't have vary many plants. ]]> 2017-11-12 20:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/206031816 0715172 https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/206033967 2017-11-12 20:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/206033967 0715172 https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/207438351 From reading the book stung I realized that without bees it would be a vary different world. We wouldn't have nearly as much plants as we have today. People would start to fight over honey. Since everyone would want honey it would become supper rare. People would trade things for it. People would get mad that only the richest and healthiest people would get honey. Everything will be much more plain in color. The air would be heavier. The world without bees would be a lot different and a world I wouldn't want to live in.]]> 2017-11-15 20:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/207438351 0715172 https://padlet.com/0715172/72lyd15tr4va/wish/207444862 Flowers produce nectar.

• Worker bees suck the nectar up.
• The bees break down the nectar in there stomach into two sugars, fructose and glucose.
• When the bees make it to the hive they bring the sugar to its mouth.
• They put it into an empty cell in the hive.
• When the water in the nectar evaporates the nectar changes to honey.

• They spread pollen from one flower to another.
• This pollinates or fertilizes the plants.
• This causes the plants to reproduce.
• A lot of plants depend on bees for fertilization.

• Average hives can make anywhere from 20 to 60 pounds of honey per year.
• One pound of honey could cost about $6.
• So if you have a lot of hives that make 20 to 60 pounds of honey then you could make a lot of money.
