For a good operation there should be a place that agriculturally supports 30-50 bees. The bee hives should be placed 2 m apart from each other because bees has to travel 13,000 miles from flower to flower for enough nectar to make 1 Lb of honey. ]]> 2017-11-07 16:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/204440771 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207041570 2017-11-15 03:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207041570 Harvesting the Honey 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207110109 Honey comes from the nectar of flowers. Bees carry nectar in a place called the honey stomach. The honey is broke down in numerous ways. Then put in the hive. In the hive there is space left between honeycomb, so beekeepers harvest the honey under the other honeycomb which is a 6 mm space. They use the removable drawer like sections. This leaves the beehive untouched and bee colonies alive]]> 2017-11-15 10:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207110109 Bees making honey 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207111984 The honey undergoes a process of chemical change when in bee and in hive. When a scout has found food  they go back to their hive and tell the rest where the food is with a dance. The bee’s stomach separates the nectar into 2 groups fructose and glucose. Bees saliva breaks down the nectar into honey. Glucose is a simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates. Fructose is a simple sugar found especially in honey.The bee then spits up the nectar into the hive where it evaporates into honey.]]> 2017-11-15 10:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207111984 Pollination 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207142396
Bee is getting nectar and getting pollen on his feet and he will spread it to other flowers pollinating them.

The bees collect it and store it in their honey stomach. As they fly around the motion from their wings create evaporation causing the nectar to turn to honey. Once in the hive the honey is extracted from the man made comb. The rest of the hive is sealed off. The frame that holds the honey is placed in a centrifuge and spun around to get the honey. The honey is heated so that any particles left will be dissolved.A beekeeper can add sugar and other spices but if it says pure honey nothing was added to it and it wasn't changed]]> 2017-11-15 15:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207244395 Economy Purpose 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207246642 The beekeeper has a big part in the economy of pollinating fruits and vegetables. Flowers adapt more and have better seeds. 33% of the plants we eat have been pollinated by honey bees. Apples melons and broccoli and more are all types of fruits and vegetables honey bees pollinate. Without pollination there would be no almonds because they relies entirely on honey bees to survive. 

When bees pollinate for farmers first the beekeeper has to migrate the colonies. Pollination is the most important thing bees can do. Most beef and dairy products in the U.S. are pollinated. The more the fruit is pollinated the more the fruit will be fresh and large in size. There are other pollinators like the wind, birds, and bats but honey bees are the best pollinators for a plant. If bees didn't pollinate then the world would have no vegetables or fruits That would mean no meat because all of the other animals would die. That means no food. The only way to save ourselves is to pollinate ourselves which we learn about in STUNG.]]> 2017-11-15 15:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207246642 Process 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207249982 The bee wants the nectar from the plant for honey and food. The pollen gets on the bee and then brings it to other flowers. That is how they reproduced. Reproduces with different flowers when bees pollinate. Some flowers have special relations with honey bees some flowers brush pollen against the bees.

The flower lures the bee with bright colors lots of nectar a good scent and open flower with tubular petals. The flowers rely on the bees so they had to make these changes and still make changes so that the bees are attracted to it]]> 2017-11-15 15:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207249982 Stung 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207253520

65 lb of honey per colony. It takes 550 worker bees make a pound of honey and they would have to visit 2 million flowers. Because a bee only lives to be about 6 weeks old it starts working at 3 weeks old producing 1/12 a pound of honey for its life time.

Only food in the world that insects make that you can eat. Contains everything needed to sustain life water proteins and vitamins meaning you could live off of just honey and survive. Only food to contain pinocembrin which makes you smarter. Honey won't go bad. A good replacement for sugar. Freshest in the summer. Placing a honey container in hot water for 15 minutes will make the honey more of a liquid instead of the moisture it is sold to you as. If you substitute honey for sugar use a ratio of for every cup of sugar replace it with ½ to ¾ cup of honey]]> 2017-11-15 15:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207254916 Where it Goes 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207255342 Put in crackers cookies and other baked goods. A nutritious food. Bears and badgers eat it. Moistening agent in tobacco. Used for wine. Honey can be eaten by the bee if the bee is hungry. Honey can be placed in a storage cell for a newborn bee. Can be a medicine in some cases.]]> 2017-11-15 15:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207255342 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207257156

About 120,000 beekeepers in the US. Most are do it as a hobby with about 15 hives. Hobbyist beekeeper for research in the bee and their habitats. Commercially run businesses have about 300 hives or more. Commercially run businesses have 65 lb of honey per hive every year 

Business is rising. Its not because there is more bees or honey. Its simply because more honey is being bought more farmers need bees and more money is being brought in to beekeepers. If you’re starting out you should have your colony you're buying inspected by the bee state inspector]]> 2017-11-15 15:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207260302 Source of the honey 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207260682 The source of nectar the honey is made from depends on its color and flavor. Most honey lighter is made from clover or alfalfa. Most darker honey is made from buckwheat. honey comes in a range of colors from white amber red brown and even almost black. The moisture content of the honey depends on how much the honey is regurgitated from bee to bee. Usually the honey moisture is reduced from 70% to 20% ]]> 2017-11-15 15:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207260682 Aspects 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207261132 Most beekeepers work with Italian Honey bee. Beekeepers can make money by renting to farmers for pollination, selling honey, and capturing a Queen bee (with specialized equipment and training) then selling the Queen bee. They wear protective gear or move slowly only stung a little and has a immunity to the poison. Ties clothing at wrist and wears gloves. 

Bee pollination is worth 19 billion dollars. Without honey bees there would be no more almonds. 80% of almonds come from California and California is the 5th top honey producing state behind north Dakota Montana south Dakota and Florida]]> 2017-11-15 15:51:48 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207261132 Harvesting the honey 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207500151 Heats honey at 150 degrees F 66 degrees C to dissolve crystals and then poured in a special container to prevent crystallization. Honey comes the nectar of flowers to the bee to Honey. Location has to be good as we talked about in process

There is space left between honeycomb. So beekeepers harvest the honey under the other honeycomb which is a 
6 mm space. They use the removable drawer like sections. This leaves the beehive untouched and bee colonies alive

It says that honey would be more valuable than gold. It also implies that the currency would be honey instead of the cash we all know today. STUNG talks about honey when there is no more coming from the bees. My research talks about how it is made and collected. ]]> 2017-11-16 03:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207513246 Pollination 1511815 https://padlet.com/1511815/pje0xqlr4zil/wish/207513959 In the book STUNG all the bees are gone.
