Back with all of you, in this occasion, I want to share the importance of the basil, because it is good to have this farming in house, apart from use in the kitchen in rich you prescribe and in medicine natives, it has another important function, demonstrated in an experimental essay realized in my orchard in house, in Santa Barbara of the Zulia, municipality Columbus during September to October, 2018.

The basil (Ocimum basilicum) , it is a medicinal and aromatic plant, annual pereciente to the botanical family Labiaceae , that measures 60 cm, with oval and toothed sheets, where his flowers it has the characteristic in posy in colors white, this farming is of origin of Asia and of the India.

In my case I have the variety of basil purple (basilicum purpureum) , also I use it in the meal, also I place it in places strategically in my orchard, fence on other farmings for sean pollinated, since this farming for his properties is much frequented by bees, separate as repellent mosquito net and of wading

There Are more than fifty species of basil, which differs in the size, the color, the appearance and the flavor, and many are cultivated more types, the sweet basil of big sheet is the one that more one usually uses in the kitchen, it has an intense and penetrating aroma, with a few attractive flowers of intense color purple.

Some benefits of the basil.

  1. It is beneficial in case of insomnias and anxiety.
  2. It activates the functioning of the intestine.
  3. It fights the physical and mental fatigue.
  4. It helps to eliminate the calculations or stone of the kidney.
  5. It favors the good digestion of the food.

    Essay experiments.

    Applied in September and October, 2018.

    Sowed in places strategically the basil, next to other farmings, like melon, paprika and tomato, for the following function of agent of attraction, of polinizadores and also as agent of repellent of insects or plagues, since in the farmings of tomato, melon and paprika, they are much asechados for plagues, after using this farming, an ecosystem of natural form was established, in such a way that it was not necessary to apply, agrochemical, for to stimulate the flora and the pollination of an artificial way.

On the other hand we have to give to him thanks to a very social worker, who is in the chain of the life, that I proved us many benefits, for very much his appearance it is not agreeable, but it plays an important role in our life and in that of her, as the case of the bees (Anthophila ); thanks to her many establish ecosystem, in our ambience, which we do not know.

Good now the one who is our friend the bee.
Scientific name: Anthophila, kingdom of the animalia, of the class unsect , of the order hymenoptera , of knife-edge arthropoda , the bees are insects himenópteros, without place in category taxonómica, inside the superfamily apoidea , another point import for yourself that it is necessary to know, it is as the ants, they evolved from wasps.

The function that fulfills the bee (Anthophila ).
They centre on the compilation of nectar or on the compilation of pollen, during the compilation of the nectar, across which the bees can achieve the pollination, we must take in account the following thing, for our knowledge, which in the majority of our food of pende of the pollination for insects.

the most curious thing, to document this information, in the already mentioned time, notices by means of observation and enough patience, that the bees go out to working or to fulfilling his function in the hour of the morning in trascurso of the hour of 11 am, it is time most frequented and on time earlier I did not see such a performance. Of such form manage to demonstrate as they were much attracted by the plant of the basil (basilicum purpureum) , during this month it was very agreeable to see the whole ecosystem established in my court where I have the orchard situated, and his relation with the rest farmings to me.

The pollination is the transference of grains of pollen of the stamens to the stigmas of the flowers.
The bees facilitate in ecological form, without causing damages, the pollination of plant.

Textual appointment of the book Bees - Page 97 for Federico M. Mendizabal – 2005.


Since we know which is the role that plays the bee, the most curious thing that I found in this investigation, of my essay experiments, it is the form that takes the bee the pollen, that is due to the fact that, they apply the law of the physics in the field of the electroestática for fission, although they do not believe it the bees take a load electroestática, that helps to the adherence of the pollen.


For other sides the majority of the plants compete between yes, since they all want to be pollinated, that's why the bees identify the plants as his color and smell, for means of his sense and instincts, the bees can see the colors at a maximum speed of flight of 5 km/h, of pende the speed that takes in his course they see white and black. For means of his antennas they smell or manage to smell spatially, in such a way that they allow him to know the direction where the source of smell is, this way to find his flower to pollinate it and to gather his nectar.

An important fact when bees he finds a source of pollen, this one shares the information by means of diverse dances, with others of form of an effective recruiting, since the bees are faithful to the plant that provides him until this one finishes his flowering.


Conclusion.
It is good to know and to document all the benefits that our nature gives us and that we her can take in our house as an as as the farming of the basil to just as the good grass, they serve us apara our health and food, that has important function inside the natural ecosystem, the importance of beings as the bees, thanks to her drinks to us of honey and his phenomenal work of pollinate the plants in which in the majority it provides us with food, in an organic and natural way. This article hoped that they should serve them as information and educational papers: why? and: how? the things happen in our nature, in which you are of benefit to our quality of life.
