Honeybee: Encyclopedia II - Honeybee - Origin and distribution of the genus Apis

Honeybees probably originated in Tropical Africa and spread from South Africa to Northern Europe and East into India and China. The first bees appear in the fossil record in deposits dating about 40 million years ago during the Eocene period. At about 30 million years before present they appear to have developed social behavior and structurally are virtually identical with modern bees. Apis mellifera, the most commonly domesticated species, is native to Europe, Asia and Africa. It is also called the Western honeybee. There are ...

Honeybee: Encyclopedia - Apitoxin

Apitoxin, or honey bee venom, is a bitter colorless liquid. The active portion of the venom is a complex mixture of proteins, which causes local inflammation and acts as an anticoagulant. The venom is produced in the abdomen of worker bees from a mixture of acidic and basic secretions. Apitoxin is acidic (pH 4.5 to 5.5). A honeybee can inject 0.1 mg of venom via its stinger. Apitoxin is similar to snake venom and nettle toxin. It is estimated that 1% of the population is allergic to bee st ...

Andrenidae Apidae Colletidae Halictidae Heterogynaidae Megachilidae Melittidae Oxaeidae Stenotritidae Bees (Apoidea superfamily) are flying insects, closely related to wasps and ants. They are adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen, the former primarily as an energy source, and the latter primarily for protein and other nutrients. Most pollen is used for food for the brood. Bees have a long proboscis that enables them to obtain the nectar from flowers. Bees have antennae made up of thirteen segments in males and twelve in females. They have two pairs of wings, t ...

Honeybee: Encyclopedia - Beekeeping

Beekeeping (or apiculture, from Latin apis, a bee) is the practice of intentional maintenance of honeybee hives by humans. A beekeeper may keep bees in order to collect honey and beeswax, or for the purpose of pollinating crops, or to produce bees for sale to other beekeepers. A location where bees are kept is called an apiary. Beekeeping - History of beekeeping. Beekeeping is one of the oldest forms of food production. Some of the earliest evidence of beekeeping is from rock painting, ...

Honeybee: Encyclopedia - Beehive beekeeping

Domesticated honeybees are kept in beehives. The bees use the hive space to raise brood and to store honey for the coming winter. A location where beehives are kept is known as an apiary. 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 ...

Honeybee: Encyclopedia - Africanized bee

Africanized bees, also known as killer bees, are hybrids of the African honeybee, Apis mellifera adansonii (or by other reports A. m. scutellata), with various European honeybees such as the Italian bee Apis mellifera ligustica. They have come to be the preferred type of bee for beekeeping in tropical areas of South America and in Central America because of improved productivity. In most areas the Africanize hybrid is initially feared, because it tends to retain certain behavioral traits from its Afr ...

Honeybee: Encyclopedia - Bee venom therapy

Bee venom therapy is the therapeutical use of bee stings. Although poorly researched, it is claimed to be of use in arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, dissolving scar tissue (e.g. keloids), etc. The bee venom may also be administered by injection, rather than by stings. Recently, research into the use of bee venom in treating multiple sclerosis brought some hope to the sufferers of the disease. The active component of the venom is melittin, which has a powerful anti-inflammatory action. It is said to be 100 times more potent than hydrocortisone. Possible side effects include anaphylactic sh ...

Honeybee: Encyclopedia - Bee anatomy mouth

The anatomy of a bee's mouth is complex. The mandibles (jaws) are suspended from the head at the sides of the mouth. They are used in handling objects, manipulating pollen and in contact with other bees. Above the mandibles is the mandibular gland which secretes a substance once thought to be used to soften wax. It's now known that the mandibular gland of the queen secretes pheromones responsible for maintenance of the social organization of the colony. The mandibular glands are almost completely reduced in the drone. The front of the ...

Honeybee: Encyclopedia - Bee learning and communication

Bees learn and communicate in order to find food sources and for other means. 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 weat ...

Honeybee: Encyclopedia - Characteristics of common wasps and bees

While easily confusable at a distance or without close observation, there are many different characteristics of bees and wasps which can be used to identify them. † When walking, you can often see light-colored pollen on the pollen baskets on a honeybee's rear legs. ‡ There are several races of domesticated honeybees with varying characteristics of honey production, disease resistance and gentleness. Since the barbed stinger evolved for combat with other bees, the invariable outcome of stinging ...
