Honey Bee Removal & Control, GeorgiaWhen a honeybee colony is found in a building wall, it must be removed. There are fundamental differences between the bee keeper and the pest control operator in how they go about removing honeycomb and nest. Bee keepers plan to relocate the colony by ...
as shoot brood (Figure 2). The isolation of the sex determination locus in honey bees led to the identification of thecomplementary sex determiner(csd)gene(Beyeet al., 2003) (Figure 3A). Thecsdgene encodes a potentialsplicingfactor that exists in at least 15 allelic variants that differ on ...
26,39as well as of the positions of highly-similar organisms in groups50are enabling quantitative studies of behavior73,74. In collective behavior specifically, the use of CNNs for the pixel-based identification of individual organisms has significantly advanced markerless, long-time tracking in 2D,...
Japanese honey bees often nest in man-made structures, but normally prefer to build their hives in natural cavities such as hollowed out tree trunks, rock crevices, and caves. While Japanese honey bees will sting in order to defend their nest, they are less likely to do so thanEuropean hon...
this function also serves as identification and as amating call. Each collective of bees has its own unique scent, which hive mates use to identify each other, and when it comes time for a queen to leave the nest and start a new brood, her pheromones attract drones to escort her on her...
Honeybees: you either love them or hate them. The latter is understandable – the idea of a bee sting can inspire fear in even the bravest of humans, especially if they happen to be allergic. But the truth is, these insects really do more good than harm. Honeybees are a crucial part...
These include the exquisite architecture of the nest and its relation to bee physiology; the intricate division of labor and the relevance of a temporal caste structure to efficient functioning of the colony; and, finally, the life-death struggles of swarming, supersedure, and mating that mark ...
In another collaborative study this time with colleagues in Germany–also published in November inNature: Scientific Reports–the researchers have shown how the actual chemistry of the honey bee brain dynamically changes via epigenetic mechanisms when memories are laid down. This identificat...

Identification of theApis melliferasubspecies from honey shotgun sequencing data Two different approaches were used to identify information that, based on shotgun sequencing data generated for each honey sample, could be useful to identify theA. melliferasubspecies that produced the investigated honey samp...
