To think about bee breeding, we need to think about bees on 3 levels. I call this the 3 bee concept. The first level is that of the individual. And like all animals, each bee is a complete organism in it's own right. Each bee is the product of it's own genome and it's intera...

The Western honey bee (Apis melliferaL.; henceforth “honey bee”) is one of the few intensely managed insect species in the world. Humans have managed them for nearly 11,000 years for wax, honey, and—more recently—pollination (Batra1995; Bloch et al.2010; Crane1999; Roffet-Salque et...
This means that there’s less food for wild bees to eat. This would explain why certain breeds of bees are dying globally as the honeybees would push out other species. This can easily disrupt the normal flow of local ecosystems. We’ll be discussing this point in greater detail later. ...
Chickens come in many many breeds and hundreds of types/varieties, which define their appearance and often temperament. They are obtained with very little initial investment (small scale) and require only basic facilities. Gallus Domesticus (domestic chicken) provides animation to the landscape, a di...
The structure of populations and genetic diversity of breeds are studied with the use of mtDNA diagnostics. Amplification products with a fragment length from 300 to 1000 bp are obtained in various bee breeds by PCR. The main morphological traits of bees of various origins are given and the ...

This trend has been observed consistently, over several years, with various honey bee breeds in the multiple countries where these smart hives are installed. Comparison of multi-year data for the same period from the same smart hives reveals minor deviations and annual trends. These deviations depe...
