Parents/Guardian –
 I have reviewed my child’s activities and
homework for the week of 3/7/113/11/11.
 I understand that is important for me to
make sure that my child is studying to
be prepared for the Quiz on Friday
3/11/11 including having you sign the
agenda and vocabulary words defined
on a separate sheet that will be stapled
to the agenda and turned in on Friday,
and has completed all assignments this
week.

A beekeeper discovered the presence of mites living among his
honeybee population. He then kept a record of the honeybee and
mite population sizes over a period of time. His data are shown in
the graph. According to the graph, which statement describes the
relationship between the mites and the honeybees?
A The mites are parasites of the honeybees.
B The mites and honeybees both benefit from living together.
C The honeybees are unaffected while the mites benefit from the
relationship.
D The honeybees have an advantage over the mites when
competing for the same resources.
