 Provide three credible sources from the Internet for your expository essay and cite the sources in APA format.

 Address the following question: Which subpoint or subpoints on your mind map do these sources support? Explain your answer.

I found three good sources of information besides the one of found while completing appendix B.  One article I found was “Honey Bee Losses Continue To Rise In U.S.”, from Science Daily News.  They had a note at the bottom of the article saying “adapted from materials provided by Penn State.”  They even have a box for easy citing for my paper.  I feel as though this is a good source for my major topic on the decline of the honeybee.  Second article I found is “Bee Decline May Spell End of Some Fruits, Vegetables” by John Roach for National Geographic News found at.  This would be a good place to find information on my subtopic “What are the possible outcomes” The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation has information on what we can do to help.
