Hace 5 días · The best known honey bee is the western honey bee, (Apis mellifera), which was domesticated for honey production and crop pollination. The only other domesticated bee is the eastern honey bee (Apis cerana), which occurs in South, Southeast, and East Asia.
Hace 5 días · The Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, represents an ideal model organism to investigate how susceptibility towards pesticides may vary across seasons. Long-lasting periods of floral dearth (e.g., winters in temperate regions) result in the absence of brood in honey bee colonies.
Hace 4 días · bee, (superfamily Apoidea), any of more than 20,000 species of insects in the suborder Apocrita (order Hymenoptera ), including the familiar honeybee ( Apis) and bumblebee ( Bombus and Psithyrus) as well as thousands more wasplike and flylike bees. Adults range in size from about 2 mm to 4 cm (about 0.08–1.6 inches). plasterer bee.
Hace 1 día · As honeybee populations grow and spread from country to city, from backyards to gardens to rooftops, many of the estimated 3,600 native wild bee species in North America—including about 800 in Canada—aren’t faring so well. Native bees are disappearing. Most bees are solitary, nesting alone in crevices, hollow stems or underground burrows.
Hace 5 días · In a new study, researchers have discovered that this fungus is uniquely adapted to survive in bee colonies. The western honey bee, Apis mellifera, stores large quantities of food in the form of bee bread, which is used as a main food source for the hive.
Hace 5 días · Most bees are solitary, nesting alone in crevices, hollow stems or underground burrows. None of the native species in Canada make honey. Unlike honeybees, solitary bees and bumblebees are vulnerable to habitat loss. From shiny sweat bees to industrious mason bees, these native pollinators are quietly vanishing.
Hace 3 días · This study reports on the physicochemical and sensory attributes, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity of 36 honey samples produced by two different stingless bee species (Tetragonula carbonaria and Tetragonula hockingsi) from Australia. The findings reveal moisture content across all samples ranges from 24.9% to 30.8% (w/w), electrical conductivity from 1.02 to 2.15 mS/cm, pH ...
