Domain: Biology
Branch: Evolutionary Biology
Pattern: Variability (habitat)
Podcast Episode 5. Honey Grows on Trees.
Energy is abundant, but the abundance is variable. Living things must be adaptable and move toward available resources.
Description
In this episode of "Lessons from Nature," we take a look into the fascinating world of bees and their incredible adaptability to environmental variables. We explore the parallels between the bee's quest for survival and the human pursuit of business success. Join us as we delve into the secrets of the bees, the human business of making money, and the bee business of making honey. We discuss how both humans and bees adapt to variability, competition, seasonality, and work.
Episode Highlights:
[01:23] Introduction of co-host Hannah Mather, a biologist and bee influencer on Instagram.
[04:53] Discussion on how bees are affected by weather patterns, particularly hurricanes.
[07:14] The impact of hurricanes on commercial beekeeping and the subsequent effects on farming and food production.
[10:22] How bees strategically store honey in their hives based on temperature and seasonality.
[14:02] The importance of bees in pollination and their contribution to the economy.
[16:44] The seasonal changes in bee population and how it aligns with the availability of nectar and pollen.
[20:39] How bees survive during winter and the importance of their honey storage.
[25:04] The foraging behavior of bees and how they optimize their search for nectar-rich flowers.
