Garden Insects

Food and shelter are two characteristics which flowers use to attract pollinating animals, especially insects. Food is offered through nectar and pollen, and shelter is supplied to insects that need to lay eggs in safety.

Honey bees typically forage within a 2-3 mile radius of their hive, although they can travel up to 5 miles for food if necessary. This flight range allows them to collect nectar and pollen from a variety of flowers within their foraging area.

because it shows other creatures that it is dangerous and fends them off, this is the same reason in poisonous snakes or Spiders.

The queen lays an egg at the base of a honeycomb cell and after three days the egg hatches into a larva. The larva is fed by the worker bees and the larva grows to many times its original size during which time it sheds its skin four times. After this the worker bees cap the larval cell with a mixture of wax and pollen. The pupa sheds its skin one more time then spins a cocoon around itself inside the cell and it pupates. At the end of pupation the adult bee eats its way through the cell capping and emerges
Because the entire pupation takes place in a sealed wax cell, under normal circumstances we never see the cocoon.

No, honey is not the saliva of bees. Honey is made from nectar collected by bees from flowers, which is then stored, mixed with enzymes, and dehydrated in the beehive to create the thick, sweet substance we know as honey.

The most effective way to kill ants is by using ant bait traps or bait stations. These traps contain poison that the ants carry back to their nest, effectively killing the entire colony. Spraying insecticide directly on ants may kill a few, but it is not as effective in eradicating the entire colony.

Bees store nectar as a food source for themselves and their colony. They convert nectar into honey by drying it out and adding enzymes. Honey serves as a long-term energy source during times when nectar is scarce.

Inspect the cherries for small holes or splits through which worms may enter. Look for any soft or discolored spots on the cherries, as these could indicate the presence of worms. Consider soaking the cherries in a solution of saltwater to encourage any worms inside to emerge.

Some worms are carnivorous, such as predatory marine worms that feed on small organisms like plankton. However, the majority of worms are detritivores, feeding on decomposing organic matter in soil or other environments.

It depends if one is allergic then yes it could potentially kill you but if not it will sting a while but is not very harmful
not really but yes somtimes it MAY sting you but if they sting you they would acctualy die and i acctualy dont know why but its TRUE and did you know that the bees stripes is a sighn of danger to warn you. i am sorry if that did not help your question.

Depend on which chemical and which worm. A common earthworm will die instantly if sprayed with acetone. Pyrethrins will take a while to kill most flying insects, but more potent chemicals will kill them in a moment.

yes the tube worm which lives in coral reefs.

Around five to seven days after a new queen emerges from the pupal cell she will leave the hive. Drones (males) flying in the area are attracted to her by pheromones she gives off and they will chase her as she flies higher and higher. She will mate on the wing with any drone that catches up with her and she stores the sperm in an organ called the spermetheca. When mating has finished, as the drone pulls away his genitalia are broken off and the drone dies. The queen then removes the drone's genitalia ready for the next drone.

The queen will mate with between five and 20 drones until her spermetheca is full. She then returns to the hive ready to begin egg laying. This store of sperm is for the rest of her life. She will never mate again.

As the queen lays an egg in a cell she will usually release one or two sperm with the egg, fertilizing it. A fertilized egg will result in a female (all worker bees are female), but if she chooses not to fertilize the egg it will develop into a male.

Because of this mechanism, all females (workers and new queens) are diploid (genes from both parents), and have 32 chromosomes (16 pairs) but males (drones) are haploid (genes from the mother only) with only 16 chromosmes.

Food for thought: male bees don't have a father, but they do have a grandfather...

Diatomaceous earth is a good natural killer for ants in your vegetable garden. It is a powdery substance that works by dehydrating the ants. Sprinkle it in areas where you see ant activity, such as near plants or along ant trails. Additionally, you can create a homemade solution of water and dish soap to spray directly on the ants to help eliminate them.

Yes, a honey bee is a flying insect but is also capable of walking. Honey bees use their six legs to walk on various surfaces to forage for nectar and pollen, communicate with other bees, and perform various tasks within the hive.

The European honey bee is classified as Apis mellifera. It's native to Europe. But it was successfully transported, and naturalized, to the United States of America by European colonists. It's an example of an exotic, or non-native, species that came to be appreciated, instead of dreaded and scorned, by the inhabitants of the new land.

Predatory running mites are little red bugs that walk on sidewalks. The arachnid family members in question can be seen scurrying around for prey. Newbie arthropod watchers learn to distinguish them from their spider mite relatives.

A beekeeper. Or, if you want a posh word: an apiarist.

Yes, lavender has a strong scent that can repel ants along with other pests like moths and mosquitoes. Placing lavender plants or sachets near entry points or where ants are present may help deter them due to the fragrance. However, it may not be as effective as other specific ant repellents or deterrents.
