What is the scientific name of killer bees?
Africanized honey bees (AHB), known colloquially as "killer bees" or Africanized bees, are hybrids of the African honey bee, Apis mellifera scutellata (not A. m. adansonii; see Collet et al., 2006), with various European honey bees such as the Italian bee A. m. ligusticaand A. m. iberiensis.
Whats the name of a killer bee?
'Killer bees' are more properly called Africanized honey bees. They are the result of a cross between Tanzanian honey bee (Apis mellifera scutellata) queens and Western honey bee (Apis mellifera mellifera) drones.
What is a bumble bee's biome?
The Africanized honey bee is a descendant from one of 26 Tanzanian honey bee queens (apis mellifera scutellata) that escaped from a research station in Brazil and mated with local European honey bee drones (apis mellifera mellifera).
Do African honeybees pollinate flowers?
Yes, African honeybees pollinate flowers. The insects in question (Apis mellifera scutellata) sip upon nectar and take away pollen, just like other bees. They therefore will have to be considered, despite their invasive aggressiveness, among the world's beneficial insects and insect pollinators.
What is the greatest benefit of African honey bees?
Commitment to sustainable populations is the greatest benefit of African honey bees. The insects in question (Apis mellifera scutellata) prioritize such colony-defending and hive-expanding behaviors as asexual, parthenogenetic reproduction; early, industrious foraging; and pollen (over nectar) accumulation, processing, and storage.
What is the binomial nomiclature for a honey bee?
Apis mellifera mellifera -- Western/European honey beeApis mellifera cerana -- Oriental honey beeApis mellifera ligustica -- Italian honey beeApis mellifera iberiensis -- Spanish honey beeApis mellifera scutellata -- African honey bee
How long do Americanized African bees live?
One month, five to ten weeks, and one to three years are the lifespans of the Americanized African bee. The insect in question (Apis mellifera scutellata) organizes its life cycle and natural history into drone, queen and worker tiers. Drones, as male bees, live five to 10 weeks while female queens and workers respectively survive one to three years or one month.
What species of bees are found in southern Sudan?
In southern Sudan, you can find various species of bees, including the African honeybee (Apis mellifera scutellata), which is well-known for its resilience and adaptability in tropical climates. Additionally, there are several native solitary bee species, such as leafcutter and mason bees. The diverse habitats in the region also support other pollinators like bumblebees and stingless bees, contributing to the local ecosystem's pollination needs.
What killer insect came to North America from South America?
The Africanized honey bee is the killer insect that came to North America from South America. The "killer bees" in question originate in the cross-breeding of African (Apis mellifera scutellata) honeybees with such European honey bees as the Iberian (A.m. iberiensis) and the Italian (A.m. ligustica). They owe their North American existences to ancestors who moved from deliberate Brazilian introductions in 1950 to opportunistic migrations northward through Latin America and even -- as of 1985 -- into North America.
Why are African honey bees called African honey bees?
That they are native to the African continent is the reason why African honey bees are so called.Specifically, the African honey bee (Apis mellifera scutellata) can be found natively in central and much of southern Africa. It faces competition from the Cape honey bee (Apis mellifera capensis) in southernmost South Africa. In turn, it offers competition to introduced European honey bees (Apis mellifera), which are less aggressive all the while producing far more honey.
