The Laser 2.6

Our invention The Laser 2.6!!


The laser 2.6 is a laser that you shine through your honey to detect the lead and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) that could be in the honey.
When you shine that laser through the honey, there is a receiver on the other end of the honey that measures the refractions of the honey to tell if there is HFCS or lead. This is because when you mix the HFCS into the honey it doesn't mix completely, because nothing can mix completely without a chemical bonding. You can then remove the lead and other contaminates through Chelation.

This is the letter to congress we sent.

Dear Congressman Labrador;

We have been studying all about bees and their importance to us. We went on a field trip to visit a hobbyist bee keeper and learned about the process of collecting honey. We also have learned about the recent bee deaths in Florida where 12 million bees died. In Florida a Charles Smith lost 150,000 dollars worth of bees. Through research into this specific problem, entomologists have ruled out diseases.

This caused great economic hurt but even worse than that, we wonder how will it affect food production for the next year? Mr. Smith was just about to sell his bees to a company to help pollinate almond trees in California. There are only a few plants that do not rely heavily on bees to pollinate in order to produce fruit; Corn and wheat among the few that self-pollinate. The article said that bees probably died from pesticides. We are concerned about this because if we continue to spray harmful chemicals, not only is it hurting/killing bees but it is possible that some of the toxins/chemicals being sprayed are making their way into the honey that we eat and can make everyone sick.

All over the world people spray for control of the mosquito/insect population. We don't see that as wrong, but we would like you to examine and review what the sprays will also kill, especially in areas where the bee population and farming coincide. Losing our bees will cause less pollination of important crops and thus less food and less money for those states dependent upon their farming community.

Sincerely,

Alisa, Jason, Artimus, Alexandria, Bryce, Ethan, Marinda, and Jared

Allie's Paper

We went on a field trip to visit a hobbyist bee keeper. There Mr. Loertscher showed us the process of honey. We went outside to his bee hives, and some of us got a really close view. Which means, that we got to wear bee suits. He told us that where the bees store their honey is called frames. Then we went inside. He showed us how to take off the caps of the honey with a hot knife. The hot knife can get up to 200 degrees! After you cut off the caps he put them in a circular thing that spins around really fast, so all the honey goes to the bottom of the big bucket. then he turned it over and did the same thing. After that we got to taste the honey, it was so good!
