We need to start using a more descriptive term when discussing bees. They are either honey bees or native bees. The termbeeshould not be used unless its meaning is clear or it is referring to both types of bees. Even the simple termnative beeis too general, but it is a step in the ...
The hypothesis that honeybees (Apis mellifera) compete for floral resources with native bees was studied mainly in areas outside the original range of the honeybees, i.e., where they are introduced. We studied the effect of honeybees on the foraging behavior of native solitary bees in Israel...
When honeybees come to monocrops for pollination, they end up pushing out all other wild/native bees and other insects in that area. 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...

may offer transient forage to honey bees, having a detrimental effect on the diversity and availability of forage. Moreover, due to pesticide use, green spaces corresponding to crops may have an additional negative impact on honey bees’ health. To investigate these effects, we decomposed the “...
For over a century,native Asian honeybees have been steadily pushed aside by the European species,which were introduced to China by beekeepers because the female workers are more focused on their job and produce more honey,which is also sweeter. However,the European species also carries a number...
The overarching question was, could native bees play a role in supplementing honey bees by providing pollination services for crop flowers? If so, how many native bee species were visiting farms and how frequently did they occur? Eight small farms (4-60 ha) were selected to investigate this ...
Honey bees process nectar into honey by active evaporation on the tongue and passive evaporation involving nest ventilation and fanning behaviour, as well as enzymatic action. The elimination of excess water from nectar carries considerable energetic costs. The concentration of the nectar load is assume...

A single hornet can kill 40 regular honeybees in a minute; a group of 30 hornets can destroy a hive containing 30,000 bees in a little more than three hours. The hornets eat the honey, kill and dismember the bees leaving the members behind. They take only the bees’ thoraxes (as it...
