Bees collect a lot of pollen and nectar which are made by flowers. Bee babies are fed lots of pollen and fat because they need them to be grown. Since there are lots of flowers in the spring, usually from the middle of March to the middle of May, most bee babies are born. Nectar is what the a worker bee uses to make honey. Collecting nectar is very important for them to survive long winter. They collect nectar from hundreds of kinds of flowers! No wonder there are many different kinds of flavors in honeys.
When we look at a flower, we probably can't tell how much nectar it has inside. But bees have special kind of vision called ultraviolet vision. This ultraviolet vision allows them to see which flowers have lots of nectar. That's very helpful  because bees need to collect a lot of nectar.

How do bees see? Bees can't see red however they can see a color we can稚. UV is what gives us a sunburn and invisible for us. But to a bee, it痴 a whole different color and visible. Since bees can稚 see red, red flowers are pollinated in other ways, by bats, butterflies, birds or the wind. Flowers that want to attract bees have colors that bees can see. Often, white flowers, which look plain to us, actually reflect UV light, so they look very pretty to the bees.

How do we age?

Free radicals are the main cause of skin aging. They are molecules produced through normal digestive processes or compounds that are missing one electron, making them unstable. Electrons possess huge energy, and this energy drives atoms to bound and form molecules(commonly oxygen). When two atoms come together and their electrons pair up. But if enough external energy is supplied-e.g. ultraviolet light-one of the paired electrons may be knocked off. An atom with a single electron seeks another, which is steeled from a neighboring atom that must now gain its own electron. When they are doing this, they create instability in the violated molecule which continues this destructive cycle, wreaking havoc. Electrons are also easier to steal from some molecules with DNA, fatty acids and proteins being prime targets.
At least 300 modern theories of skin aging have been proposed. The most accepted one is the free radical theory of skin aging. In 1956, Denham Harman, M.D., at the time a professor at the University of CA, Berkeley, proposed that free radical reactions, regardless of how they are initiated, are responsible for the progressive deterioration of biological systems seen over a lifetime.
An well-known anti-aging researcher also from UC Berkeley, has stated aging is an accumulation of random damage to the building blocks of  life-especially to DNA, cellular enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and DNA , causing cross linking of proteins (collagen) in the dermis (which results in decreased elasticity of the skin).

Free radicals come from the environment such as smoking, various toxins we ingest including use of other drugs or medications, too much stress and exercise etc. However, most are produced within your own cells as a normal by-product of converting food into energy. Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell that produce energy(ATP) from glucose and oxygen. ATP is an energy rich molecule that drives metabolism and it is continually recycles in order to supply the energy needs of your body. Some oxygen molecules become free radicals as mitochondria enzymes recycle ATP. A single ATP molecules in every mitochondrion and some cells have hundreds of mitochondria. It's been estimated that about 10 percent of the air we breathe every day turned into free radicals by mitochondria enzymes. The human cell is buffeted by 10,000 free radical hits each day. What happens to your genes as a result of this tragic?

How does your body prevent from the free radical damage? Nature has provided an internal antioxidant system to prevent from the  free radicals damage  before they can harm you. The system is mainly placed in the liver but cells also have their own antioxidant system. This system worsens with age and mounting oxidative stress produces damage to genes. Your body depends on a variety of foods of antioxidants you eat. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices provides the backup for your internal antioxidant system. The antioxidant foods makeover show you which foods you should eat to provide a powerhouse of antioxidants.
