Honey bees are highly eusocial insects, such that they have a highly cooperative system of brood care, overlapping generations, and a strong reproductive division of labor (Wilson, 1971). The latter distinction is manifest in the extreme, where a single reproductive female – the queen – is the sole egg layer within a colony.

The impact that industrialised farming has on the environment and wildlife is generally accepted. Field observations and vast research on the subject indicate that modern agriculture has played a significant role...

In this work an attanpt has bean mada to obtain accurate information on tha rata of growth of worker, drone, and tjuean larvae of the honeybee, Apia aallifera Linn Aaide.

In the current study, we investigated if any variations exist in acceptance rate of grafted larvae and quality of queens reared in different queen cell cup sizes, between wet and dry grafting and between queen right and queen less conditions of A. m. jemenitica colonies.

Impeding early vegetative growth would be a highly effective strategy for limiting the impact of AFB.

The Asian hornet, Vespa velutina, is an invasive, globally-distributed predator of European honey bees and other insects. To better under its reproductive biology and to fnd a specifc, efective, and low-impact control method for this species, we identifed and tested the key compounds in V. velutina sex pheromone.

The Travelling Beehive. I believe that all of you have seen a bee before, although it is possible that all you know about us is that we produce honey and that we will sting you if you bother us

Based on the results of American and European scientists work in the 20th and 21st century, closely related to the field of acoustic control of bees.

Several factors may determine the cause of diabetes hypoglycaemia, like a higher dose of insulin, less food intake, meal out of schedule, stress, physical activity, etc. An adult will probably be able to manage well the whole process to find a desired equilibrium to avoid insulin reactions.

Under elevated temperature conditions, Yemeni honey bees exhibited better thermal tolerance than hybrid Carniolan honey bees.
