CHAPTER 1
The Problem and its Setting

Introduction
Kidneys are essential for the survival of human beings. Their life-sustaining job as cleansing machines is to remove the toxins and excess water from our blood. Being able to filter and clean two hundred (200) liters of blood every twenty-four (24) hours is enough to prove how important our kidneys are. Furthermore, kidneys also help in controlling our blood pressure, producing red blood cells, and keeping our bones healthy. Due to the kidneys’ several functions, if not taken good care, can be prone to kidney disease (Esposo, 2012).

They were the backbone of all life on Earth and an essential resource for all human beings. The plants produce oxygen, provide herbal medicines, and beautify the environment with their flowers, and yield fruits and vegetables. Some of these will not be achieved without the help of the bees.
In the Philippines, propolis is of great help not only for the bees themselves but also for human uses in medicine. With the advanced technologies that we have nowadays, researches made were more convenient and easier. Identifying, experimenting, and analyzing the therapeutic properties of propolis can lead to more discoveries of its usefulness to human life.
Propolis is a resin-like material produced by bees with their food such as pollen, bark, shoots of trees and flowers mixed with their salivary secretions and wax flakes. It is used to strengthen the structural integrity of the hive, reduce vibration inside the hive, and to make the hive more defensible by sealing alternate entrances. Propolis is sticky and at above room temperature (20°C/68°F), however, at lower temperature, it becomes hard and very brittle.

    Dialysis is not only expensive, but also rough on patients and it is only a temporary solution. Essentially, since dialysis filters the blood through a machine, the patient is stuck living to that machine until there's an available organ. Due to the advances in medicine, kidney transplantation is the best option for the patient. Not only is it reliable, causing very few complications, it can help return the patient to their normal life. However, the lack of kidneys available for transplant caused 50,000 deaths worldwide.

Many famers today plant their cops in sections farther apart depending on the plant. When the bees go to collect nectar they cannot get as much food without getting tired. This has had an effect on bees because they die faster from having to fly so far. Many beekeepers think that this reason causes bees to fade away.

    Q1 The organs involved in the homeostatic system of salt regulation are pineal gland, pituitary glands, thyroid gland ,thymus, adrenal, pancreas, ovary and testis. All our bodies removes uneeded fluid by filtering your blood through your kidney, via osmosis, to draw excess water out of your blood. This requires a balance of sodium and potassium to pull the water across the wall from the bloodstream into a collecting channel in the kidney. A high salt diet will alter this sodium balance, causing the kidneys to have reduced function and remove less water resulting in higher blood pressure.

    The Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the USDA’s internal research agency is leading several efforts to find the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder, and ways to stop it. The ARS has been striving to enhance honey bee regulation and health as well by improving bee management practices and studying honey bee diseases, vectors, and how to control them. Plus, a number of Federal agencies and state departments of agriculture, private companies, and universities have all started to seek the source and treatment of Colony Collapse Disorder.

    In the winter they are expecting to lose around 40 to 50 percent of their average beehives. Farmers haven’t necessarily noticed a decline in pollination of crops, because the decrease isn’t as apparent yet, but the Californian almond fields have. The fields usually require around 1.8 million bees to have a successful harvest, but since the incredible amount of bee losses in the last decade or so, farmers have had to export healthy bee colonies nationwide (). If the problem persists farmers of all sorts of plants that need pollination will have to export bees or not even get the amount of bees for a full successful harvest. This problem will get worse and worse overtime, and could eventually kill out those beautiful colored springs that the world is used to.

Patricia E. Salkin states, “Urban bees provide important pollination services to community gardens, home vegetable gardens, and fruit trees.” Not only will it help neighbors’ goods and plants, but it will help others’ gardens and plants as well.
