There is no evidence that Gregor Mendel created vicious bees. In fact he was unsuccessful at breeding them alltogether. This myth seems to have come about around 2001 in online publications and been copied without reference in unscrupulous sources.

Are bees vicious?

It depends what type of bee. For example, the German, or Black Bee, is quite aggressive in nature (an interesting aside is that Hitler is reputed to have tried to exterminate them as an 'inferior race'!). African breeds are also said to be bad-tempered. Other types of bees, such as Ligurian or Italian, and Carniolan bees are generally placid, but any bee, when threatened enough, will go on the defensive.

How are bees one of earths resources?

The value of a bee to a human has to do with the making of a sweet, vicious mixture called "honey".Bees pollinate flowers. This leads to more flowers and increases the amount of fruit and vegetables for animals to eat.When bees die, they are often eaten by wasps, ants, and other scavengers.

Will bees return to burned out underground nests?

No, bees generally do not come back to an underground nest which is destroyed by human-controlled fires. But there always may be exceptions to the above-mentioned rule. For example, bees will return if the underground tunnel remains useful or when population levels and viable alternative shelters remain respectively high and low.


Once you have destroyed a hive will they return to the same place to make another one?

It depends on the species. Some bumble bees or wasps may. Honey bees that were away foraging will return to where the hive was, but without the queen they can't survive as a colony for very long. If the queen has survived they may make a new nest.

What is the predators of the killer bee?

A bee doesn't have a predator because bees are animals that can sting so i don't think an animal would eat a bee unless they aren't smart.no...the bees still have predators even though they can still sting. Some of them are the Tracheal mites and the Varroa mites.Honey bees suffer predation from humans, bears, skunks, opossums, and a variety of insects and parasites. Other bees have other predators.


What did gregor Mendel do in the field of genetics?

Gregor Mendel, is known as the "father of modern genetics". He cultivated and tested approximately 29,000 pea plants between 1856 and 1863. He showed that one in four pea plants had "purebred recessive alleles", two out of four were "hybrid" and one out of four were "purebred dominant". He made two generalizations, firstly the "law of segregation" and secondly the "law of independent assortment". These became known as , "Mendel's Laws of Inheritance". Although largely overlooked at the time and even criticised, it is now thought of as a seminal work. He went on to work with Bees and managed to produce a strain of Bee so aggressive that all instances had to be destroyed! But, alas he had severe difficulty in controlling queen bees and his work achieved little else. He classified novel plant species which are denoted with the abbreviation "Mendel". Mendel died on January 6, 1884 aged 61.
