Reflections on Hive Tracks and Bee Informed Partnership ethics case study

I was sick when the ethics case study for this was done so I'm going to go over one of the other bee related presentations we had. The most important thing I got from that presentation was just how insanely large the decline in bee population has been over the years. I just kind of assumed it wasn't really that bad, just kind of an inconvenience that people were looking at but it being to the point that bee population dropped by like a third in about 10-20 years seems like its to an extent that is a lot worse than I was aware. Now this could be due to most of this issue being from when I was a child and didn't really know anything about what was happening but it still was surprising. 

Final blog post

       I'm not really sure what the most important things I learned over this semester for senior seminar. I suppose it would have something to do with learning about the extent of the things the NSA was doing in country. I previously thought it wasn't that serious but the NSAs ability to get pretty much any data an individual sends without any real difficulty seems pretty excessive. On top of that, them working with five eyes makes it seem even sketchier as any of those countries probably now have the ability to do this to other countries citizens.  The one piece of advice is easily go to class. Half the assignments are just follow ups on class and the class isn't bad, you'd probably enjoy it. Going to class is probably the hardest part of the class and that's not a difficult task to begin with.
