Honey!]]> 2017-11-14 20:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/206946750 1800077 https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207372624 By Bethany Wiggins]]> 2017-11-15 18:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207372624 1800077 https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207374205 This book is about a girl who wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world. She woke up to find her house was abandoned, she had a strange tattoo on her hand, and that her brother went insane as did most other people with the mysterious marking. She later found that there was a disease carried by bees, and children got a special vaccination against it.  People who got the vaccine went insane. She started to have flashbacks of wearing beekeeper suits to school and out the house to stay safe.]]> 2017-11-15 18:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207374205 1800077 https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207979852 Beekeepers have to create the right environment for their bees. They must find a discrete place for the bees that is not too close to parks or sidewalks. They must also make sure to have water source with somewhere for the bees to land to make sure they don't go to neighbors water sources and drown.]]> 2017-11-17 04:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207979852 1800077 https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207980458 2017-11-17 05:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207980458 1800077 https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207980544 Commercial beekeeping started in the 1800s. In the U.S., commercial beekeepers produce 200 million pounds of honey per year. Worldwide we produce 3 1/3 billion pounds of honey per year. Beekeepers sell honey to bakers to be used in baked goods like crackers, cookies, and cakes. Beeswax is used to make products like candles, lipstick, and polishes. Bees also help the farming business by pollinating crops.]]> 2017-11-17 05:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207980544 1800077 https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207982524 Bees are the main animal pollinator. They pollinate by going to collect nectar from flowers which makes the flower's stamen spring up brushing the bees belly with pollen. Bees have little hairs on the underside that makes the pollen stick to them, and when they fly to the next flower they brush some of that pollen off at that plant. This process keeps going until the bee returns to its hive.]]> 2017-11-17 05:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207982524 1800077 https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207983048 Some farmers bring honey bees to their farms for the sole purpose of pollinating crops. Without bees most crops and plants would be dead. Some plants can be pollinated by the wind, but some have a heavier or stickier pollen which makes it too heavy to be pollinated by the wind.]]> 2017-11-17 05:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207983048 1800077 https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207983459 After honey is collected from the hive, it is sold to factories where it can be turned into extracted honey, comb honey, or chunk honey.  Extracted honey is honey that has been removed form the comb, comb honey is honey in its comb, and chunk honey is a combination of both.]]> 2017-11-17 05:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/1800077/b71ekqu2ty89/wish/207983459
