'Queen Bee' by Richard Stringer on the side of the Eureka Tower,
Southbank, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
I have done a research about bees again and
found out more interesting fact to share.
Bees are not social creatures and do not build hives themselves. They construct
small nests in trees holes, plants steams and fence pots. People are giving
them ‘houses’ to live getting enjoyment of honey that is reproduced by these
insects. However, scientists are found, that bees like bowerbirds (Australian
birds) like to use plastic into their nests. Bees have incorporated plastic
shopping bags pieces strengthening their nests. Also academicals investigations
have submitted circumstances, showing that a bee by reproducing proteins has an
ability to extract a ‘bee plastic’: a cellophane-lie biopolymer naturally.
This fact gives a new opportunities for engineering and architectures to
develop ideas that bees (called ‘cement bees’) will help to reconstruct old
architectural ornaments, statues and event free-standing structures like as
cathedrals in the future.
Bee’s hives have been built by unexpected ways in U.S.A. In the New York, bees’
hives are constructed on a rooftops of a school building. It is believed that
it is only one school in Manhattan with beehives. The school gets a lot
benefits from it: members of the school have got honey and students
learn more about the environment and science while raising and nurturing bees.
Interesting and useful bees’ ‘utilization’ shows the Dusseldorf Airport in Germany.
The Airport is accommodated bees to live near the landing strips. They do a
function of bio-detectives as reproduce honey in the high pollinated
environment. By such kind honey the airport is monitoring a contamination of
the air. Unbelievable is that tests shows toxins in the honey that are
below the official limits for emission.
