Pot hiveStingless beesAbscondingStingless bee nestThere has been a long standing tradition of stingless bee, Meliponula beccarii ( M. beccarii ), honey hunting in Ethiopian farming communities. However, attempt has not been made to domesticate and manage stingless bees for sustainable harvest of the...
We investigated dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous leaf blades based on their veinal structures, with monocot- yledonous leaves having parallel veins whereas dicotyledonous leaves primarily having reticulate veins29.

The wax moth is both a pest and an asset. The larval form of this moth lives in honey bee hives where it eats the wax. In active, managed hives, this behavior can be a nuisance to the bees. In some cases, an already weakened hive can be taken over by wax moths. However, in fer...

Xerces Society notes that honeybee hive losses have dramatically increased in the last decade; commercial beekeepers lose around 30% of their bees annually. Even more troubling patterns are being observed among native bee populations, with many species facing possible extinction. In 2017, the rusty ...
Propolis, often known as bee glue, is a waxy, sticky substance found in beehives that honeybees utilize as cement and to close fractures and open spaces [2]. Because of its antiseptic properties, bees utilize it to prevent viruses, bacteria, and parasites from contaminating the hive as well...
Pollen containing these residues can then end up in a honey bee hive’s pollen stores and beeswax [33,90]. Surveys of pollinators, including native bees and honey bees, have found several pesticide residues both in the hive products and in the bees themselves. In one such survey, 70% of...
However, it is interesting to note that the θ222/θ208 ratio was >1 at least for LEA29, LEA40 and LEA25 in the dry state (Figure 7, [30]), suggesting that desiccation may induce super-helical structures. It is important to note that the capacity of membrane stabilization was not ...

Honey bee health, longevity and colony development depend on the quantity and quality of nutrients stored in the hive. In honey bees, protein feeding modulates both individual and social immunity. The present study aimed to determine the correct feeding model by examining the changes in vitellogenin...
