I am asking u
Honey bees produce honey by collecting nectar from flowers using their long, tube-shaped tongues, and storing it in their "honey stomach" to carry back to the hive. Once back at the hive, the bees pass the nectar to other worker bees who chew it and store it in honeycomb cells. The bees then fan the nectar with their wings to remove excess moisture, creating thick, sticky honey that is stored for food.
Female bees, or worker bees, are the ones responsible for stinging because their stingers are modified egg-laying structures called ovipositors. When a worker bee stings, its stinger is barbed and gets stuck in the skin, tearing the bee's abdomen and causing it to die. This is why male bees, or drones, which do not have stingers, cannot sting.
Honey bee workers are the only ones that have barbed stings. If they are unable to withdraw the sting after stinging they will leave it behind. This causes severe internal injuries and the bee will die from those injuries. All other bees have smooth stings and have no difficulty withdrawing them. An additional point is that it is only the females that sting, not the males. The sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube), an organ that males do not have.
Not sure what kind of bees you have that can tunnel through brick, but I'm not sure I would mess with them. Ha ha. Here in TN, Dad used to fight the carpenter bees at our house by cutting strips of old rubber tire inner tube about 3/8" wide and about 6 inches long. Then he would sneak up on the holes at night and double the inner tube strip and stuff it in the hole. The idea was that the adults couldn't chew through rubber to get in and cut more channel or lay more eggs and the new bees who hatched couldn't get out by chewing through the rubber. He waged the war for several years. Maybe that would work with your "mason" bees. These bees apparently chew into rafters and other exposed pine wood on the house and lay their eggs, then fill the channel with mud or "something brown." They resemble a bumble bee in size and shape and coloring, but Dad always said "They won't sting you, son!" I never put it to the test. My method of dealing with carpenter bees was to take a tennis racket and swat them while they were flying by. They usually don't die, so you have to chase them down on the ground and stomp them. Dad used to also tell me that there was "nothing under the house that would hurt me" when he sent me under there to pull a wire or adjust something. So far he was right about that.
gastrostomy tube
Bees take up nectar through their proboscis.
you can't
Male bees, or drones, do not have a sting. In bees, wasps and similar insects the sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube) -- an organ that males do not have.
Yes, it can make a difference because certain tubes are designed to prevent certain interactions between the blood and the tube material, which can affect test results. It's important to use the correct tube specified for the test being conducted to ensure accurate results. It is recommended to verify with the laboratory or healthcare provider to ensure the correct tube is being used for the pheno barb level test.
Only the females of bees, and wasps, have stings. The sting is a modified ovipositor -- the egg laying tube -- an organ that males do not have.
Yes, bees do have tongues which they use to extract nectar from flowers. The length of the tongue depends on the species of bee.
They are able to bite or penetrate through a thick head of hair because of their small size and their long mouth. They are little enough to get past the hair to the skin.
false
Honey bees collect nectar from flowers using their long, tube-like tongues. The nectar is stored in a honey stomach, where enzymes break down the sugars. Back at the hive, bees pass the nectar to other worker bees, who further process and store it in honeycomb cells. Through fanning with their wings, the bees remove excess moisture from the nectar, resulting in honey.
The females (queen and workers) of most varieties of bee can sting. No males (drones) of any species can sting because the sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube) -- an organ that males do not have.There are a few varieties of bee that do not have stings at all. These are mostly solitary bees.
FALSE!!
The tube that travels from the kidney to the bladder is called the ureter, not to be confused with the tube that travels from the bladder to the exit point from the body, which is called the urethra.
