of worker bees and their tasks has been found (Schulz and Robinson, 2001;Schulz et al., 2002a). Most likely, this particular amine functions as an activator of foraging by modulation of the responsiveness to task-related stimuli (Schulz and Robinson, 2001;Schulz et al., 2002a;2002b). Ov...
It has about 950,000 neurons. Honey bees have excellent memory processing and learning abilities, necessary for long foraging flights away from their hives. The brain coordinates and regulates the functions of all the bodily systems. While only about 1 cubic millimeter in size, the honey bee’s...
BV might modify the immune system functions in the body and contribute to the increased production of cortisol (Vick et al., 1972). The healing potency of BV in the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism is initiated after stimulating the production of cortisol in the adrenal glands, which in ...
worker: an infertile, diploid female bee adapted to perform a variety of functions in the colony depending on her age and the colony’s needs worker egg:a fertilized honey bee egg that will grow into a worker. The word also applies to the fertilized eggs of ants, wasps, and other social...
When thousands of individual insects self-assemble into one coherent group, the resulting superorganism can perform functions that individuals cannot. Prominent examples include fire ant rafts and towers keeping a colony afloat during a flood and helping them get to dry land1,2, army ant bridges sh...
A heat dome functions like a pot with a lid. There is an area of extremely high pressure which acts like a lid of stable air keeping warm air trapped. This warm air moves to the surface which further heats it up under the compressive force from the pressure inside the dome. ...
(shown ine) without compromising accuracy. We added two loss functions to the network, one for class and one for orientation angle estimation, and their example output is shown to the right. In panelsbandethe information flows from the left (image) to the right by passing through the lower ...
and species isolation. It functions as a territorial marking pheromone as well as the male sex pheromone. The pheromone-marked places attract conspecific females for mating [56]. The marking pheromone functions both as an attractant and an arrestant for females and, moreover, as a short-term ...
It is said to promote regularity in body functions by aiding in digestion, alkalizes the blood, and even helps in treatment of kidney stones (Fallon, 2001). Red beet is used as a remedy for both constipation and dysentery (Li, 2008). Various studies on red beet consumption reveal that ...
Viruses associated with stingless bees and their functions Viruses that infect stingless bees have also been poorly studied. Viruses found within stingless bees include acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), deformed wing virus (DWV), and black queen cell virus (BQCV) [46–48]. Caesar et al. [4...
