In both worker bee and drone, four main regions of the glomerular neuropil were distinguished according to corresponding afferent bundles. The worker possessed 166 glomeruli and the drone 103. The number, posit

A Varroa Mite, Foulbrood inspection should be done and a proper evaluation of “Queen Activity”. By Mid February, you should see bees carrying natural pollen into the hive. When this occurs, the Queen will also begin to lay drone Eggs (Unfertile eggs) these drones will hatch in 24 days....

We suggest that previously reported associations between high levels of pesticide residues in wax and queen failure are most likely driven by indirect effects of worker exposure (either through wax or other hive products) on queen care or queen perception....
Bees are oviparous, but while all worker bees are females, they are not fertile and cannot lay eggs. Only the queen bee is responsible for mating with drones and laying eggs. What is the difference between a drone and a worker bee? All drones are male honey bees, while all worker bees...
Whereas excluding these offspring, the fertility decreased to 82 and 90% in worker and drone cells, respectively. The results also showed that the percentage of non-reproducing females was 11 and 7% in worker and drone cells, respectively. While the mortality percentage of mother mites was ...
They studied queen mating using x-band radar to document drone flyways and congregation areas [50,51]. Because drones are larger than worker bees and congregate in large numbers in mating areas, no markers were needed to identify drones in their studies. Radar is best suited to...
Beepollen(orbeebread or apollenball) is a mass ofpollenthat has been packed by worker honeybees into granules with added honey or nectar. week to week, colony to colony, even in the sameapiary, and no two samples ofbeepollenwill be exactly identical. Accordingly,… Read Article ...
aMost honey bee proteins identified inV. destructorwere found in both stages, but almost 41.8% were uniquely identified in foundresses (parasitizing purple-eyed honey bee worker pupae) or dispersing mites (parasitizing adult nurse bees). The proportion of these proteins that had previously been iden...
