Honey bee hygienic behaviour does not incur a cost via removal of healthy brood. J. Evol. Biol., 27: 226-230. DOI: 10.1111/jeb.12288Bigio, G., Al Toufailia, H.M., & Ratnieks, F.L.W. (2014). Honey bee hygienic behaviour does not incur a cost via removal of healthy brood. ...
When the bee forages far from the nest, the nectar evaporating benefit for the colony is much greater than the flight cost benefit for the individual forager. We suggest that the ability to evaporate nectar outside the nest has a strong evolutionary benefit and shapes decision making during ...
The extra cost involved with using PRP (vacuum tubes, centrifugation, etc.) and lack of constant electricity in most developing countries makes honey a better alternative for enhancing graft take. Conclusion Nigeria bee honey enhances take of meshed full-thickness skin autografts, primarily within ...
novel treatments to control the mite and its vectored pathogens have shown limited efficacy, as the host remains naïve. A prospective solution lies in the development ofVarroa-resistant honey bee stocks, but a paucity of rigorous selection data ...
I believe these are marks left over from the removal of a bee hive. The fern pattern is where the honey comb connected to the subfloor. - 4/7/2014, Reply: Thanks Michael. I took a look at several resources on how people remove honey bee colonies from buildings (traps are good but ...
The ectoparasite Varroa destructor is the greatest threat to managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies globally. Despite significant efforts, novel treatments to control the mite and its vectored pathogens have shown limited efficacy, as the host remai

Bee Pollination for Vine Crops Beekeepers, especially when renting colonies for crop pollination, should know the basic biology of the crops their bees are pollinating. I advised that in the pollination chapter of my top-bar hive beekeeping book. If there is ever a problem, a well-informed be...
To assess how appetitive and aversive sensitivities and learning performances are related, series of four experiments were carried out on age-controlled (two weeks old) honey bee workers. Half of the bees went through an appetitive evaluation day followed by an aversive one, and the other half ...
Honey bee queens undergo dramatic behavioral (e.g., reduced sexual receptivity), physiological (e.g., ovary activation, ovulation, and modulation of pheromone production) and transcriptional changes after they complete mating. To elucidate how queen post
