What kind of electromagnetic radiation can honeybees see but humans cannot?
Ultraviolet light can be seen by bees, but not humans. Bees also cannot distinguish red from black.
How water pollination happens?
During their hours of field work on a bright, sunny day, the bees frequently take a dip in it to cool off.
What kind of the electromagnetic spectrum can be seen with the human eye?
Humans can benefit from seeing non-visible wavelengths as well. How is this if we can only see visible light? Let's learn more. (continue on to Invisible Light) Many insects are able to detect wavelengths that humans are not able to see. Bees, for example, can detect three colors: ultraviolet, blue, and yellow, but not red. The ability to see red is actually rare for all insects. The butterfly is an exception to this rule. Butterflies are believed to have the widest visual range of any animal. Various species of butterfly can detect wavelengths anywhere from 310 nm to 700 nm. To humans, male and female butterflies may look the same, but butterflies are able to identify each other easily because of ultraviolet markings on their wings. Butterflies and insects are also attracted to ultraviolet nectar of certain flowers. The photos below other simulate how humans, bees, and butterflies see the same flower.
How do bees get energy?
Forager bees collect nectar and pollen, and bring them back to the hive where they are stored. Water is evaporated from the nectar, turning it into honey. Bees eat pollen, a rich source of protein, and honey, which is a carbohydrate.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum do animals see?
A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390-750nm. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 400-790 THz. Bees and many other insects can see light in the ultraviolet, which helps them find nectar in flowers. Plant species that depend on insect pollination may owe reproductive success to their appearance in ultraviolet light, rather than how colorful they appear to humans. Birds too can see into the ultraviolet (300-400 nm), and some have sex-dependent markings on their plumage, which are only visible in the ultraviolet range. this is from the wikipedia article on visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum
Do bees give you messages if so how?
Bees are an integral part of the ecological system. If/when bees begin to disappear, it is a message that something is wrong.
What if the honey bees disappear?
many plants won't be pollinated and the fruit and vegetables we eat will disappear and there will be fewer flowers
Does the earths magnetic field help guide certain birds?
Yes, Birds are believed as well as other animals to have an innate sense of direction, or a "built-in compass" by earth's magnetic field. Concerns have arisen about electromagnetic interference with their internal compasses and our radio and other electromagnetic transmissions, such as the theory of why Bees are seemingly disappearing.
Is it an virus that is killing the bees or the electromagnetic waves in the air?
If you are referring to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), no single cause has been found, and it is thought it is due to a combination of reasons, but latest research shows that a common factor seems to be viruses.There are a number of viruses that can affect bees -- none of which have any effect on humans -- and usually the bees can resist them. It seems there are other factors as yet unknown that are weakening the bees' resistance.It is unlikely to be electromagnetic waves. Tests have shown they have no measurable effect.
Howbettter can bees see than humans?
Bees can see higher frequencies of electromagnetic waves than humans can. Bees see flowers in different colors then we do. Bees see color about triple the speed as humans do.
Why do honey bees never hide their hives in a field of grain?
Firstly, a hive is an artificial home for bees provided by a beekeeper. The natural home for a colony of wild honey bees is usually in a hollow in an old tree. Bees aren't particularly interested in a field of grain as what they need is pollen and nectar, neither of which is produced by a field of grain.
How do you get rid of bees on your pet on pet society on facebook?
You get the soap out of it's inventory and then you drag the soap on your pet. Do that for a while and the bees ( flies) with slowly disappear. Hope that helped Xx
In Wisconsin what field crop is best for bees?
Alfalfa
What food would disappear if bees went extinct?
bee delicacys as we could still synthesis honey artificaily
Can horses be allergec to bees?
Yes, horses can be allergic to bees. This can cause swelling and itching.
Why are sand bees called sand bees?
Bee cause they are.
What could one conquer with an army of bees?
A field of flowers
