What is masculine and feminine for bees?
A male bee is called a drone. A female bee is either a queen or a worker (infertile female).
Why are honeycombs hexagon shaped?
Because a hexagon shape makes the honeycomb very strong, so less prone to damage, but how the bees know that is a mystery.
It is the most efficient use of space and gives the greatest number of cells for a given amount of wax.
Actually, if you look more closely at honeycomb the cell itself is more or less circular. It is just that they are arranged in a hexagonal pattern.
Bees live in different locations. The honeybee lives in a hive as do many other species of this insect. Some bees burrow underground and others live in small nests.
Why are people so interested in Beekeeping?
Because bees are very interesting and they produce such large amounts of honey.
A colony of bees consists of three castes of bee:
A large number of female workers and a number of male drones ranging from thousands in a strong hive in the spring, although it could be a lot less in the very cold season.
The queen is the only sexually mature female in the hive and all of the female worker bees and male drones are her offspring/babies.
The Queen can actually live for anything up to 3 years and in that time can produce millions of eggs; a Queen could produce 2,000 eggs in just one day.
The Queen is also fed larger amounts of Royal Jelly then other normal worker bees, she needs the energy.
How do you stop bees from eating peaches?
Greenhouses and row covers are ways of stopping bees from eating peaches. Indoor cultivation in conservatories and greenhouses control what comes in, what goes out and what stays in. Row covers work best with bushy and herbaceous plants even though it is possible to cloak a single peach tree with ease and a whole peach orchard thanks to ladders and trucks.
How far north can Africanized killer bees be found?
The southernmost southwestern United States of America is how far north the Africanized killer bees have made it as of 2004. Subsequent data-collecting efforts offer indications of isolated presences in the southernmost Southeast from Louisiana to Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and North and South Carolina. The insects in question (hybrid Apis mellifera) seems to travel at a rate of 200+ miles (321.87 kilometers) northward per year since populations introduced into Brazil in 1956 escaped in 1957.
What forms do honeybees use to reproduce asexually?
Drone Bees are Males. Queen Bees are females. During the mating flight, Drones from one or more hives deposit sperm inside the queen. When the Queen Bee lays her eggs, she may allow one sperm to enter the egg and fertilize it. That will create a female bee. If she does not allow a sperm to enter the egg, it will be asexual reproduction. It will produce a Drone, or male bee. In spite of the fact that the Queen Bee had sex, Drones, or male bees are produced without sex, or asexually.
In addition, if something happens to the queen and she dies or disappears, the worker bees can lay eggs. They never had sexual contact. All the eggs they lay will turn into Drones. The bees can feed pollen to several of the developing bees and turn them into Queen Bees. One of them kills the rest and then mates with the drones produced from the eggs laid by the workers.
How do you find all ground bee entrance holes?
Looking for ¼-inch (6.35-millimeter) wide holes in the middle of conically piled mounds of excavated lawn and path soil through which round trips -- not in swarms, but one by one -- take place daily from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. is a way to find all ground bee entrance holes. Before and subsequent to the above-mentioned times ground bees may not be seen because of the demands of underground nest maintenance. The entrances will be obvious because of their proximity to one another in ground whose vegetation is disturbed by bare patches and conical mounds.
What is pasturage and how is it related to honey production?
Pasturage is the availability of flowers to the bees for nectar and pollen collection. Pasturage is related to honey production because it determines the taste of honey and the quantity of honey
How can you get rid of a bee hive created under your ground cover?
Contacting professional colony-removers is the way to rid ground cover of an underlying bee hive. The insects in question number among an environment's beneficial arthropods, be they located above, on, or under the ground. So their removal needs to be conducted by experienced professionals, during inactive hours in bee schedules, such as before 10:00 a.m. and subsequent to 3:00 p.m., and with head-to-toe personal protective equipment.
What is a park neutral switch?
It is a switch that only allows the starter to work when the transmission is in neutral or park.
Explain the basic component of a life table?
