Post 6: Biodiversity Dilemma

The insect death is giving us a real hard time!

What do you think?

Here you will find a dilemma for you biologists. Discuss in the group and submit your answers here .

Did you know that: Honey is made from flower nectar, which bees carry in their stomachs ? But bees have very small stomachs! That's why they only take 0.1 grams with them on each trip. And then the nectar must be concentrated into honey . That 's why nectar from at least 200 flowers is required to make one gram of honey. When beekeepers can experience that the weight of a very strong hive can increase by 8 kg, or 8,000 grams, in one day, the hive's inhabitants have visited 800,000 flowers to achieve such a result.

What now?
