FAQs on Bee keeping - Improvement in Food Resources, Force & Laws of Motion, Science, Class 9
| 1. How does beekeeping contribute to the improvement of food resources? |  |
Ans. Beekeeping contributes to the improvement of food resources through the process of pollination. Bees play a crucial role in pollinating flowering plants, including many crops that are important for human consumption. By collecting nectar and pollen from flowers, bees inadvertently transfer pollen from the male parts of a flower to the female parts, enabling the plants to produce fruits and seeds. This process increases the yield and quality of crops, leading to a greater availability of food resources for humans.
| 2. How are the laws of motion relevant to beekeeping? | |
Ans. The laws of motion are relevant to beekeeping in various aspects. Firstly, when a bee takes off from its hive, it follows Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia. The bee remains at rest until an external force, such as the flapping of its wings, propels it forward. Secondly, the flight of bees follows Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Bees generate thrust by pushing air downwards with their wings, causing an upward force that allows them to fly. Understanding these laws is essential for designing effective beekeeping equipment and studying the behavior of bees in their natural environment.
| 3. What are the scientific principles involved in beekeeping? | |
Ans. Several scientific principles are involved in beekeeping. Firstly, understanding the biology and behavior of bees is crucial for maintaining healthy colonies. This includes knowledge of their life cycle, communication methods, and foraging behavior. Secondly, the principles of entomology (the study of insects) help beekeepers identify and manage pests and diseases that can affect bee colonies. Additionally, knowledge of botany and horticulture is important for providing suitable forage plants and maintaining a diverse and nutritious diet for the bees. Lastly, maintaining proper hygiene and following scientific methods of hive management are essential for the overall success of beekeeping.
| 4. How does beekeeping contribute to environmental conservation? | |
Ans. Beekeeping contributes to environmental conservation in multiple ways. Firstly, as mentioned earlier, bees are important pollinators that play a crucial role in the reproduction of plants. By maintaining healthy bee colonies, beekeepers ensure the pollination of various flowering plants, including wildflowers and trees, thus supporting biodiversity and ecosystem stability. Secondly, beekeeping promotes the conservation of bee species, some of which are endangered or threatened due to habitat loss and pesticide use. Beekeepers often adopt sustainable and organic practices that minimize the negative impacts on bee populations and their habitats. Lastly, the presence of bees in an area can serve as an indicator of a healthy environment, as their absence may indicate ecological imbalances.
| 5. What are some common challenges faced by beekeepers? | |
Ans. Beekeepers face several common challenges, including pests and diseases, environmental factors, and management issues. Pests such as varroa mites, wax moths, and small hive beetles can infest bee colonies and weaken or destroy them. Diseases like American foulbrood and European foulbrood can also pose significant threats to bee health. Environmental factors such as extreme weather conditions, pesticide exposure, and scarcity of forage plants can impact the survival and productivity of bee colonies. Additionally, beekeepers need to manage their hives effectively, ensuring proper ventilation, temperature control, and regular inspections to maintain colony health. Continuous learning, adaptation, and staying updated with the latest research and best practices are essential for successful beekeeping.

hello friends this video on improvement
in food resources part 15 is brought to
you by exam viacom no more fear from
exam so with this we end our discussion
on fish production let us start with the
last topic of this lesson that is
beekeeping what is beekeeping or why do
we keep be because we obtain honey so
the purpose is honey here and that is
why these bees are also known as honey
bee so this is this involves very less
investments because you don't really
need to invest much but you get a good
income because when you actually sell
start selling that honey you are unwell
but there is not much investments
involved in this right so now one
interesting thing which we will learn
here is how do bees make honey we all
know that I need bees stay in their hive
and we obtain honey from there but how
do bees actually make honey so let us
see how do bees make honey all of us
would have often seen that bees keep
hovering around flowers so what would I
want from flats so they basically take
two things from flowers one is nectar
and the other one is pollen so a bee
gets two things from flowers
one is nectar and the other one is
pollen and this nectar is the one which
actually helps in honey production
so this nectar results in the formation
of honey so what happens is that when
the bee sits on a flower it takes nectar
from the flower now the nectar is stored
in a special stomach inside the body of
the blue even though the bee looks so
small but even inside the body of the vd
they have got two stomach one is the
normal digestive stomach which is used
for their own digestion and the other
one is a special stomach that special
stomach is used for storage of nectar so
that means inside the bee body
you have one digestive stomach and you
have another special stomach
so in this special stomach is stored the
nectar so now what happens the the
digestive stomach and the special
stomach they are however connected with
the help of a wife so there is a valve
kind of a thing
you can imagine it like a door there is
a roll between digestive stomach and
special stomach so normally the door
remains closed but in these of emergency
later suppose the bee is extremely
hungry there is nothing in its digestive
stomach in that case what will happen
that valve opens that door opens and the
nekton which is stored in the special
stomach will come to its digestive stuff
and it will feed upon that nectar so
that means the bee will use the nectar
which is stored in the special stomach
only in during emergencies like
otherwise it will not use it so the
nectar will keep on getting stored in
this special stomach now it is not that
a bee visits only one flower at a time
now once a bee comes to the field field
means once the bee starts from its hive
so it goes to multiple flowers so it
goes to every flower and sucks nectar
from it and stores it in its special
stomach now when it visits when it has
visited enough flowers and her special
stomach is full with nectar so now when
the special stomach is full the weight
of the special stomach becomes almost
equal to the weight of the bee itself so
now it cannot carry any more weight so
it does not go to any flower further and
it goes back to its hive right now when
it goes back to its hive it is greeted
by all other bees which are already
present in the hive because they see
that ok this bee has come with its
stomach full of nectar so what will
happen the other bees will greet this
bee and mouth-to-mouth transfer of the
nectar will take place that means let us
suppose if this was the field
so sometimes this was also referred to
as filled because this was the field
which came out for work outside so it is
the field B and these beans which are
present in the hive they are known as
recipe entity so this is the field B and
these are the recipient B's so they will
greet this B when it goes back to the
hive when it goes back to the hive these
B's will greet their B and there will be
mouth to mouth transfer so from the
mouth of this B it will get transferred
to the mouth of the recipient B right so
what will get transferred nectar so that
means nectar transfer mouth to mouth
from which B from the field B to the
recipient B right so now the recipient B
has the nectar so what the recipient B
will do the recipient B will process the
honey by enzymes now the nectar will
have on complex sugars what is nectar
nectar is nothing but it is composed of
complex sugars so these recipient B so
there is CP n to be what they will do
they will process the nectar with the
help of enzymes they will break the
complex sugars of nectar into simple
sugars so they will convert complex
sugars of nectar into simple sugars
right so these simple sugar which is
then formed is nothing but this forms
honey so but honey is very viscous but
initially this nectar is water it is not
that business but gradually by the
process of evaporation the watery nectar
gets converted into a viscous liquid
that is known as honey now how the
evaporation process takes place the evap
it happens because of the high
temperature which is maintained in the
hive so the bees ensure the recipient B
is ensure that a high temperature is
maintained in the hive so that the
evaporation process state can take place
and the watery nectar can get converted
into a viscous honey so what we can say
is so the last step is watery nectar
gets converted to viscous honey how by
evaporation right so what was the entire
procedure the bee comes to the flower
it sucks nectar and pollen correct now
it has two stomachs one is digestive
stomach one is special stomach so it
stores the nectar in the special stomach
now it keeps visiting all the flowers
till it's special stomach is full of
nectar when the special stomach is
completely full it goes back to the hive
there it is greeted by the recipient
bees and the nectar is transferred mouth
to mouth from the field B to the
recipient B these recipient bees then
convert the complex sugars of the
nectars into simple sugars so these
simple sugars nectar is a watery nectar
now these watery nectar in due course of
time by evaporation due to the high
temperature which is maintained in the
hive gets converted into the viscous
honey right so I hope it was interesting
to know how do bees make honey okay so
now let us again get back to beekeeping
so how do this beekeeping is done now it
was it was observed that Italian bees
have high honey collection capacity so
therefore Italian bees are generally
used for producing honey an Italian
variety called a Medi fara has been
brought to increase the yield of honey
so even amongst the Italian varieties
this one variety gives even higher
collecting I mean higher production of
honey so that is so these variety is
also used these days for commercial
honey production bee farms or apiary
established so the way we have cattle
farms the way we have poultry farms
similarly these days for commercial
honey production bee farms have been
established where you have so many
beehives value or quality of honey
depends upon the pasture ease or flowers
available for nectar and pollen
connection connection so again I mean
what is the price of the honey or how is
the quality of the honey that again
depends on so many factors that not only
depends upon the bee that also depends
upon the flowers that also depends upon
the evaporation process the conditions
which are present in that beehive so
there are many other these all together
will contribute to the quality of the
honey and the value of the honey
