| | | | | Apiary - a yard where behives are kept: Encyclopedia II - Diseases of the honeybee - American foulbrood AFB Paenibacillus larvae (formerly classified as Bacillus larvae) is a spore-forming bacterium. This disease only affects the bee larvae but is highly infectious and deadly to bees. Infected larvae will darken and die. Lab testing is necessary for definitive diagnosis, but a good field test is to touch a dead larva with a toothpick or twig. It will be sticky and "ropey" (drawn out). Foulbrood also has a characteristic odor, and experienced beekeepers with a good sense of smell, can often detect the disease upon opening a hive. In t ...

| | | | | Apiary - a yard where behives are kept: Encyclopedia II - Honeybee - Honeybee life cycle Like other eusocial bees, a colony generally contains one breeding female, or "queen"; a few thousand males, or "drones"; and a large population of sterile female workers. 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 ...

| | | | | | | | Apiary - a yard where behives are kept: Encyclopedia II - Diseases of the honeybee - Pesticide losses Honeybees are susceptible to many of the chemicals used for agricultural spraying of other insects and pests. Many pesticides are known to be toxic to bees. Because the bees forage up to several miles from the hive, they may fly into areas actively being sprayed by farmers or they may collect pollen from 'contaminated' flowers.
Pesticide losses may be relatively easy to identify (large and sudden numbers of dead bees in front of the hive) or quite difficult, especially if the loss results from a gradual accumulation of pesticide broug ...

| | | | | Apiary - a yard where behives are kept: Encyclopedia II - Diseases of the honeybee - Dysentery Dysentery is a condition resulting from a combination of long periods of inability to make cleansing flights (generally due to cold weather) and food stores which contain a high proportion of indigestible matter. As a bee's gut becomes engorged with feces that cannot be voided in flight as preferred by the bees, the bee voids within the hive. When enough bees do this the hive population rapidly collapses and death of the colony results. Dark honeys and hon ...

| | | | | Apiary - a yard where behives are kept: Encyclopedia II - Africanized bee - Aggressiveness Africanized bees are characterized by their aggressiveness in establishing new hives and in their vigorous defensive behavior, attacking perceived threats to their hive, including people. Over the decades, hundreds of deaths in the Americas have been attributed to Africanized bees, many deaths resulting from multiple bee stings. This defensiveness has earned them the nickname "killer bees", the aptness of which is debated. Allergic reactions to bee venom from European honeybees also kills people, and it is difficult to estimate how many more people may ...

| | | | | Apiary - a yard where behives are kept: Encyclopedia II - Diseases of the honeybee - Chilled brood Chilled brood is not actually a disease but can be a result of mistreatment of the bees by the beekeeper. 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. When a beekeeper opens the hive (to inspect, remove honey, check the queen, or just to look) and prevents the nurse bees from clustering on the frame for too long, the brood can b ...

| | | | | Apiary - a yard where behives are kept: Encyclopedia II - Beehive beekeeping - Traditional beehives Traditional beehives provided an enclosure for the bee colony but little more. Because there is no internal structure provided for the bees to start from, the bees fill the space in the hive with comb. The comb is often cross-attached and cannot be moved without destroying it. This is sometimes called a 'fixed-frame' hive to differentiate it from the modern 'movable-frame' hives. Harvest generally destroyed the hives, though there were some adaptations with extra top baskets which could be removed when the bees filled them with honey. These were gradually supplanted with box hives of varying dimensions, with or wi ...

| | | | | Apiary - a yard where behives are kept: Encyclopedia II - Bee learning and communication - Learning Learning is essential for efficient foraging. Bees are unlikely to make many repeat visits if a plant provides little in the way of reward. A single bee will visit different flowers in the morning and, if there is sufficient attraction and reward in a particular kind of flower, she will make visits to that type of flower for most of the day, unless the plants stop producing reward or weather conditions change. Bees are quite adept at associative learning, and many of the standard phenomena of conditioning take the same form in bees as they do in the verteb ...

Africanized bee - In the European Bee intentional selection.
The chief difference between the European races or subspecies of bees kept by American beekeepers and the Africanized stock is attributable to selective breeding. The most common race used in North America today is the Italian bee, Apis mellifera ligustica, which has been used for several thousand years. Beekeepers have tended to eliminate the fierce strains as they did, and the entire race of bees has thus been gentled by selective breeding.

Their expansion stopped for a time at eastern Texas, possibly due to the large number of European bee beekeepers in the area. However, discoveries of the bees in southern Louisiana indicate this species of bees has penetrated this barrier, or have come as a swarm aboard a ship. In June 2005, it was discovered that the bees had penetrated the border of Texas ...

Africanized bee - Use caution with power mowers.
Bees are sensitive to low frequency vibrations and so an engine driven lawn mower may elicit a defense response from a hive or swarm.
Africanized bee - Walk with care in clover and near picnic sites.
Take care not to walk barefoot on lawns containing blooming clover, which attracts foraging bees. Meat eating wasps can be attracted to food scraps near a picnic site and usually forage close to the ground as they seek out downed insects s ...

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 ...
