Project Apis m. Requests Donations for Honey Bee Research Programs
Chico, California (PRWEB) June 02, 2013
Project Apis m. a 501 (c)(5) non-profit organization is requesting donations to continue their comprehensive honey bee research programs.
Honey bees are endangered said Mary Ross of the Mohawk Valley Trading Company where they specialize in raw honey and they account for 80% of all insect pollination. Without them, there would be a dramatic decrease of fruits and vegetables worldwide.
The following projects need funding:
Dr. Reed Johnson, Ohio State, Dimilin Research, $ 134,640
This research will look at the effects of insecticide and insecticide-fungicide combinations on queen and worker larval development.
MaryAnn Frazier, Penn State, Pesticide Cost-Share Program, $ 15,000
This funding pays for half of the beekeeper's cost to run full pesticide analyses.
Dr. Brian Johnson, UC-Davis, IVDS Validation Work, $ 34,755
This study will test the utility of the integrated virus detection system (IVDS) using traditional molecular approaches.
Dr. Jonathan Engelsma, Grand Valley State University, Hive Scale Network, $ 22,140
This program will enable a national network of hive scales to be integrated into the Bee Informed Partnership (BIP's) disease & management database.
Dr. David Tarpy, NC State University, Nexcelom Vision System to process Bee Informed Partnership (BIP) samples. $ 29,480
This equipment will greatly enhance the ability to screen queens (and drones) for sperm number and viability.
TOTAL Research Funds Needed: $ 237,015

About Honey Bees
Bees are insects that are related to wasps and ants and there are approximately 20,000 known species of bees found on every continent except Antarctica. Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are not native to the United States as they were introduced by Europeans to produce honey and beeswax. Honeybees are responsible for pollinating 80% of flowering crops, and without them the worlds food supply would be dramatically reduced.
As people become more conscious of the important role that honeybees play in their daily lives, beekeeping is becoming more mainstream and is now allowed in many urban and suburban municipalities. Since 2006, beekeepers in the North America and Europe have noticed a mystifying occurrence called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) in which worker bees from a beehive or European honey bee colony abruptly disappear, leaving the queen and insect larvae behind, unable to fend for themselves. While such disappearances have occurred throughout the history of apiculture, the term colony collapse disorder was first applied to a drastic rise in the number of disappearances of Western honey bee colonies in North America in late 2006.
In 2013, a formal review by the European Food Safety Authority stated that recent studies show that neonicotinoid pesticides, some of the most widely used pesticides in the world, pose an unacceptably high risk to bees, and that the industry-sponsored science upon which regulatory agencies' claims of safety have relied is flawed and possibly deliberately deceptive.
Honey has been used by humans since ancient times for its health benefits and as a sweetener and flavoring for many foods and beverages, with tea being the most popular. Next to maple syrup, it is the most commonly used natural sweetener in North America.
Honey bees make honey by collecting nectar from flowers and regurgitating it into beeswax honeycombs inside their hive. Beeswax is a natural wax produced in the hive of honey bees of the genus Apis and its most popular uses are beeswax candles and as an ingredient in natural skin care products.
The flavor and color of honey is determined by the type of flower the bees gather the nectar from; therefore, when cooking or baking with honey it is a good idea to taste the honey before using it in a recipe. For example: a dark honey like tulip poplar-black locust honey will result in a strong, heavy, pungent flavor, whereas orange blossom honey will result in a delicate orange flavor. Dark-colored honey is considered to be higher in minerals and antioxidants than light-colored honey, and one of the most well-known dark-colored honeys is buckwheat honey. Raw buckwheat honey contains a higher amount of minerals and an antioxidant called polyphenol, which gives it its dark color. The health benefits of buckwheat honey are many and well known.
The rawest honey available is comb honey which is sections of the hexagonal-shaped beeswax cells of the honeycomb that contain raw honey that have been cut from the wooden frames of a beehive.
Using raw honey is a long-term investment strategy for optimal health and personal care; the dividends are overall mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Like a blue chip stock, raw honey should be included in any health-conscious consumers immune system boosting portfolio and the return on investment of substituting honey for refined sugar in the human diet is incalculable.
Another product made by honey bees and used by humans is bee propolis; a resinous substance that honey bees collect from tree buds and bark or other botanical sources and mix with beeswax, nectar and pollen. This mixture is used by bees to seal gaps in the hive and by humans for its health benefits and as a traditional, natural or homeopathic medicine.

In this digital age, social media has a growing impact on how we view ourselves, leading some self-critics to embrace plastic surgery as a fast way fix their perceived flaws.
Noticing the impact of this trend, New York Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Sam Rizk, MD, FACS (http://www.drsamrizk.com), has seen a notable increase in requests for surgery as a result of social media scrutiny. At his Manhattan practice, Dr. Rizk notes that over the past year, thirty to fifty percent of his patients who want work done cite the way they appear on social media as a major impetus in their decision to pursue surgery. Of these requests perpetuated by social media, the eyes and nose are the primary area of focus.
Like it or not, I dont see this trend slowing down anytime soon, says Dr. Rizk. The more we are bombarded with our own image, the more opportunities we have to pick apart and fixate on certain areas. This can become an obsession and spur people on to seek cosmetic correction. Between high definition television, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram, how you look in photos and video clips has definitely become a driver for all cosmetic procedures from Botox to neck lifts.
Known for his deft hand and industry leading surgical techniques, Dr. Rizk is a pioneer in the use of high-definition three-dimensional technology. With this advanced procedure, Dr. Rizk is able to ensure greater efficiency, precision and accuracy during surgery. Patients benefit from less bruising and scarring, plus an expedited recovery (five days versus the standard two weeks) and a highly natural-looking outcome.
A strong advocate of artistically customized service and superior patient care, Dr. Rizk urges all prospective patients to do their homework prior to any elective surgery. He advises patients educate themselves and to choose a board-certified surgeon who specializes in the face, head and neck to optimize chances of a favorable outcome.
Dr. Rizks office is located at 1040 Park Avenue in Manhattan.
