The first section is the head, it has the antenna which helps it feels its surroundings. The second section is called the thorax, there is the forewing and the rearwing, these wings work together to fly.The third section of the bee is called the abdomen. This section has the reproductive organs and all the organs that keep it healthy as well.]]> 2016-12-09 17:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142862116 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142862335 Queens and males are produced late in the season. They do this because the colonies are large. Mating occurs in the nest or close to it. When a male bumblebee mates a queen he will knock her to the ground, climb on her  and mates the queen.]]> 2016-12-09 17:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142862335 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142862448 The bumblebee is a valuable natural resource, it is mostly utilized for greenhouse pollination. Geographically, one haplotype was widespread and dominant. Other haplotypes were restricted to one to three localities and had low frequency. A very high rate of per generation female migration and a very low level of genetic fixation were found between pairs of localities.]]> 2016-12-09 17:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142862448 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142862776 The worker, male, and queen larvae of bumble bee's grew significantly differently. The development was analysed by measuring the mass amount of pollen ingested. During later stages, pollen plays a less important role in the increase of the queen's mass. ]]> 2016-12-09 17:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142862776 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142862923 Bumble bee's drink nectar and eat pollen. They feed for long periods of time every day. Without the energy a bumble bee gets from flower nectar, it wouldn't be able to fly. Without the ability to fly, it can't get to other flowers for the nectar there. Without the flower nectar a bumble bee will ultimately die. They are like humans, they have to eat food unless they die, except humans have faces that don't give me nightmares.]]> 2016-12-09 17:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142862923 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142863009 Aerodynamics proves that bumblebee's shouldn't be able to fly based on wing size and how fast they beat. Bumblebee's still manage to fly due to brute force.
A bumblebee's black and yellow stripes helps the bumblebee's avoid predation. ]]> 2016-12-09 17:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142863009 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142863271 Bumblebee's maintain homeostasis by using their stingers to defend themselves. When winter comes the bee's die, sue to not being able to survive throughout it. ]]> 2016-12-09 17:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142863271 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142863925 Growth of a bumble bee's wings from their juvenile stagr to their adult stage increased with levels of CO2. Studies propose that bumble bee wings evolved as a method of gas exchange.]]> 2016-12-09 17:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142863925 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142864001 2016-12-09 17:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142864001 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142864179 1)Bumblebee's don't die after they sting you. That only happens with honeybee's. Male bumblebee's don't have stingers at all, and female bumblebee's are not very aggressive.
2)A bumblebee's thick hair enables bumblebees to forage and pollinate flowers when it's too cold for honeybee's
3)There are 275 different kinds of bumblebee's in the world. 24 of these live in the UK.
4)A bumble bee flaps its wings 200 times per second, that's a similar RPM to some motorcycle engines.
5)Queen Bee's control the genetics of their offspring.
Male bumblebee's have only one chromosome, and no father. To produce a son the queen has to lay an unfertilized egg.  ]]> 2016-12-09 17:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/142864179 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/143525797 2016-12-14 06:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/143525797 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/143525995 2016-12-14 06:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/143525995 1026283730 https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/143526328 2016-12-14 06:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/1026283730/xvvt6i06qhz4/wish/143526328
