		Bees periodically stop foraging and groom themselves to pack the pollen into specialized pollen baskets which are on the legs of honeybees and some other species, and on the ventral abdomen on other species.
		Drone bees are the male bees of the colony.
		The primary purpose of a drone bee is to fertilize a new queen.

		Bees are adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen, the former primarily as an energy source, and the latter primarily for protein and other nutrients.
		Bees are extremely important as pollinators in agriculture, with contract pollination having overtaken the role of honey production for beekeepers in many countries.
		Cleptoparasitic bees, commonly referred to as "cuckoo bees" because their behavior is similar to that of cuckoo birds, occur in several bee families.

		The larvae and pupae in a frame of honeycome are referred to as frames of brood and are often sold (with adhering bees) by beekeepers to other beekeepers to start new beehives.

	Bee learning and communication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bees communicate their floral findings in order to recruit other worker bees of the hive to forage in the same area.
		The nectar-laden bee dances on the comb in a circular pattern, occasionally crossing the circle in a zig-zag or waggle pattern.
		Adrian Wenner, a modern bee researcher, is the chief proponent of the odor plume theory (anti-dance).

	Bee
		Bees have a long tongue that they use in order to obtain the nectar from flowers.
		Honey Bees use pheromones, or chemical communication, for almost all behaviors of life.
		Bees use these to find the entrance to their colony or hive, and they release them on flowers so other bees know which flowers have nectar.

		Feral bee populations were greatly reduced during this period but now are slowly recovering, mostly in areas of mild climate, owing to natural selection for varroa resistance and repopulation by resistant breeds.
		Karl von Frisch studied the behavior of honey bees with regards to Communication and was awarded the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in 1973.
		Honey bees are able to direct other bees to food sources through the round dance and the waggle dance.

	Beekeeping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beekeeping (or apiculture, from Latin apis, a bee) is the practice of intentional maintenance of honeybee hives by humans.
		To reproduce and survive, a colony of bees tries to accumulate a surplus of provisions (nectar and pollen) during the more favorable seasons (when there is a lot of forage, such as flowers available, along with good weather) in order to be able to survive the more unfavourable seasons.
		The bees appear to be calmed with a puff of smoke, which triggers a feeding response in anticipation of possible hive abandonment due to fire and masking any alarm pheromones.

	Motivating Factors in E-learning — A Case Study of UNITAR
		Internet-based learning, if it is based on interactive approaches to learning in which students are treated as co-discoverers of knowledge and asked to work in teams, has the potential to capitalize on adult learners’ prior knowledge and experiences in a way that traditional approaches have often failed to do.
		Learning styles may be described as sets of conditions under which learners prefer to work.
		Learning at your own time, pace, and space seems to be the most appropriate positioning for such courses.

	James Neih and David Roubik Q&A
		Although bees may become better at using the information given in the dances with experience, they are born with the knowledge of how to understand the dance.
		Honey bee foragers measure the distance from the hive to the food and also the angle of the food relative to the angle of the sun.
		Regarding the dancing of the giant Asian honey bee, Apis dorsata, I have not observed the dances personally myself, but I have read that the bees continue to use the sun as a reference even though it is on the other side of the earth.

	BeeSource.com \| POV \| Wenner \| A PARADE OF ANOMALIES: LEARNING
		Research on honey bee communication during the 1940s and 1950s, then, still relied heavily upon the notion that the behavior of these small animals was largely "innate" or "instinctive" (see the von Frisch epigraph).
		Earlier workers must have observed the same "communication by means of conditioned response" behavior among recruited bees but had apparently failed to recognize its potential significance during the recruitment of experienced foragers to food sources.
		Another bee arrived at 13.41, two at 13.42, two at 13.43, four at 13.44, one at 13.45, one at 13.46, one at 13.48, one at 13.49, two at 13.51, one at 13.52, one at 13.54.

	Africanized bee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Africanized bees in the western hemisphere descended from 26 Tanzanian queen bees accidentally released in 1957 in southern Brazil from hives operated by biologist Warwick E. Kerr, who had interbred European honeybees and bees from southern Africa.
		Thus Africanized bees are expected to be a hazard mostly in the Southern States of the United States.
		In Mexico, where Africanized bees are well established, pollination beekeepers have found that a purchased and pre-bred non-Africanized queen may be used to locally create a first generation of virgin queens that are then bred in an uncontrolled fashion with the local wild Africanized drones.

		Students reflect on the importance of being respectful and feeling respected in the classroom community and through involvement in the larger community.
		Summarize the lesson by stating that a strong community is built on positive BEE-haviors passed around and around.
		For more sophisticated learners, you may introduce the concept of community capital: when you invest positive behaviors into the community, others are likely to pay them back with further kindnesses.
