The female workers mature from nurse bees to become foragers. The foragers die usually when their wings are worn out after approximately 500 miles of flight. Honeybee wings beat at a constant rate of 230 beats per second or 13,800 beats/minute.
The frequency of the wing beats was much higher than expected for an insect of this size. Honey bees make up for carrying h ...

Honey bees are an excellent animal to study with regards to behavior because they are abundant and familiar to most people. An animal that is disregarded every day has very specific behaviors that go unnoticed by the normal person. Karl von Frisch studied the behavior of honey bees with regards to communication and was awarded the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in 1973. Von Frisch noticed that honey bees communicate with the language of dance. Honey bees are able to direct other bees t ...

When enough bees do this the hive population rapidly collapses and death of the colony results. Dark honeys and hon ...

Originally from Africa, the first discovery of small hive beetles in the US occurred in Florida in 1987. They are mainly limited to the southeastern portion of the United States, but are slowly spreading with the annual migration of honeybee colonies used for pollination in other areas of the country.
The life cycle of this beetle includes part of its development in the ground outside of the hive. Controls to prevent ants from climbing into the hive a ...

Nosema is also associated with Black queen-cell virus. Nosema is normally only a problem when the bees can not leave the hive to eliminate waste (for example, during an extended cold spell in winter or when the hives are enclosed in a wintering barn). When the bees are unable to void (cleansing flights), they can develop dysentery.
Nosema is treated by increasing the ventilation through the hive. ...

It also can be caused by a pesticide hit that primarily kills off the adult population, or by a sudden drop in temperature during rapid spring buildup. The brood must be kept warm at all times; nurse bees will cluster over the brood to keep it at the right temperature.

Main article: Pollination management
The honeybee's primary commercial value is as a pollinator of crops. Orchards and fields have grown larger; at the same time wild pollinators have dwindled. In several areas of the world the pollination shortage is compensated by migratory beekeeping, with beekeepers supplying the hives during the crop bloom and moving them after bloom is complete. In many higher latitude locations it is difficult or impossible to winter over enough bees, ...

Honeybees collect nectar and store it as honey in their hives. Nectar and honey provides the energy for the bees flight muscles and for heating the hive during the winter period. Honeybees also collect pollen which supplies protein for bee brood to grow. Centuries of selective breeding by humans has created honeybees that produce far more honey than the colony needs. Beekeepers, also k ...

Many pesticides are known to be toxic to bees.
