What is a honey bees' habitat?
I believe it is a bee hive.
Why do bees buzz around your head?
According to research bees buzz because of wind vibrations because of rapid wing movement. Larger bees produce slower wing movement thus resulting in lower pitching buzz.
How does overspecialization cause extinction?
Overspecialization can lead to extinction by making a species overly reliant on a narrow range of resources or specific environmental conditions. When changes occur—such as habitat loss, climate shifts, or the introduction of new competitors—overspecialized species may struggle to adapt or find alternative resources, leading to population decline. Additionally, their limited genetic diversity can reduce resilience to diseases and environmental changes, further increasing extinction risk. Thus, overspecialization can severely limit a species' ability to survive in a changing world.
Are bumble bees endangered?
Bumblebees are endangered because of their enemy - pesticides. They poison the insects, thus the product is sometimes referred to as insecticides. Greenhouses gases are contributing to it, and beekeeping harms the formation and multiplication of bees.
What is the earth's tombstone layer?
The term 'tombstone layer' is a colloquialism associated with an extinction event ~ 66 million years ago leading to the demise of the dinosaurs and about 70% of other life on earth. The layer is a thin (few inches) clay deposit containing iridium (a very rare element) at a level about 100 times its normal distribution in the earths crust. The layer has been positively linked to the Chicxulub impact crater discovered in the Yucatan Penisula, Mexico and credited with being the extinction event that ended in the mass extinction, thus the term 'tombstone layer'.
What is the most common reason for a species to be threatened with extinction?
Ignorance. Most people fear what they don't understand, thus causing some of them to destroy it.

Can you play against a human computer?
A computer is not human, a human is no computer. There is no "human computer." You cannot play against a human computer thus.
Why are Burt's Bees products so popular?
While there is no definitive rationale for the popularity of Burt's Bees products, there is a theory. That is, the products are labeled as more natural and alternatives to the more chemical competitors on the market, thus a healthier and safer choice.
How long are busy bees childcare vouchers valid for?
Busy bees childcare vouchers are typically only valid for a month after they have been stamped. Thus, it is important to take advantage of these vouchers within the one month time frame.
Does the queen bees sting hurt more than other bees?
This is hard to answer. First queen bees do not normally leave the hive and thus rarely have the opportunity to sting humans. Normally a queen only users her stinger to kill other queens to eleminate competition. A queens stinger has no barb. Female worker bees that defend the hive have barbed stingers. Their stingers pull free from the bee, remain in the skin and even work further in. And, their stinger continues to release venom after it is detached from the bee. Since a queen's stinger is smooth (no barb) this allows it to be kept after a sting and thus she can sting multiple times.
How can over-exploitation lead to extinction?
Over-exploitation occurs when natural resources, such as plants and animals, are harvested at a rate faster than they can replenish. This unsustainable extraction can significantly reduce populations, disrupt ecosystems, and diminish genetic diversity, making species more vulnerable to environmental changes and diseases. As their numbers dwindle, the chances of breeding and survival decrease, ultimately leading to extinction. Continuous over-exploitation can thus destabilize entire ecosystems, resulting in cascading effects on other species and their habitats.
