	Encyclopedia: Honey bee
		Honeybees store honey (which is made from nectar) in their hives, which provides the energy for flight muscles and for heating during the winter period, and pollen which supplies protein for bee brood to grow.
		Honey is the substance made when the nectar and sweet deposits from plants are gathered, modified and stored in the honeycomb by honey bees.
		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.

	Why honey is not vegan
		Bee brood are bees that are not fully developed.
		The sugar that is fed in the fall is turned into honey by the bees, so even if a beekeeper tells you their bees survive on honey over the winter, much of that honey may have simply come from Ziplock bags full of sugar water.
		Honey is the main source of income for beekeepers (Hoff, 4).

		Next remove frames of brood and honey with adhering bees and divide equally or if the colony is very strong (more than 12 frames with brood) divide into thirds.
		In areas having an earlier honey flow, colonies may be divided when there are six or more frames of brood present in the hive.
		It is sometimes worthwhile for a beekeeper to divide honey bee colonies to increase numbers or to make up winter losses.

	Badgers and bee-keepers
		While honey is not a necessary part of a honey badger's diet, the highly nutritious bee brood is a sought after delicacy.
		As suggested by both their common and scientific names (Mellivora capensis means "honey eater of the Cape"), honey badgers have always been associated with bees.
		Predictably, hives were most frequently damaged by badgers in areas where they are placed on the ground in indigenous vegetation that supports both good bee forage (flowering plants) and healthy populations of badgers.

		The confusion to the bee is difficult to quantify, but 'chewing out' may be a sign that the bees are not happy with the new brood nest shape and are rearranging matters more to their liking.
		ARS also conducts bee research at its Carl Hayden Bee Research Centre at Tucson, Ariz., and its Honey Bee Breeding, Genetics and Physiology Research Unit at Baton Rouge, La., which also is involved in studies of the germplasm and genetics of honey bees.
		Enhanced knowledge of the honey bee genome will be of value to all aspects of the agency’s bee research.

	Foundation for bee hives.
		When I was a young bee keeper most used drone foundation in the honey supers with some major advantages.
		The idea is to persuade the queen to lay in the drone frame by use of a drone brood trap, or even just placing it into the brood center, when the frame is sealed then the frame is removed and frozen, complete with the Varroa.
		When the bees start to ‘draw out’ or form the cells they try to remove the top wire and where the wires cross dig holes in the foundation trying to remove the wires causing holes in the finished and drawn cells.

	BEE NEWS
		Once honey bee workers seal the immature drone brood cells, mites suck blood from the drone larvae and reproduce in a safe environment where few chemicals can penetrate to reach the mites.
		Honey bees play a crucial role in agriculture, pollinating many fruits and vegetables and seed crops valued at about $15 billion a year in the U.S. Varroa mites kill bee colonies within 1-2 years if colonies are left untreated.
		If you do not plan on harvesting a fall honey crop, treatments should occur by the middle of September in order to protect the last batch of brood which will carry the hive through the winter and early spring.

	ARS Publication request: Field Trials Using the Fungal Pathogen, Metarhizium Anisopliae (Deutermycetes: Hyphomycete) to Control the Ectoparasitic Mite, Varroa Destructor (Acari: Varroidae) in Honey Bee Colonies
		The fungus was harmless to the honey bees and did not have any deleterious effects on adult and young bees, or brood, and did not impede colony development.
		Metarhizium anisopliae was harmless to the honey bees and did not have any deleterious effects on adult and young bees, or brood, and did not impede colony development.
		Because workers and drones drift between hives, the adult bees were found to spread the fungus between honey bee colonies in the apiary, a situation that could be beneficial to beekeepers.

	Biology - Bee Behavior
		The honey and brood in the shallow super encourage the bees to work in the section super quickly since they are already accustomed to going into the super above.
		The simplest method of producing comb honey is to winter the bees in a 1 1/2- story brood chamber.
		Section comb honey is produced and sold in the comb in either small wooden sections (4 1/4 x 41/4 inches or 4 x 5 inches) or round plastic frames.

		The distribution area of the giant honeybee is similar to that of the dwarf honeybee: it occurs from Pakistan (and, perhaps, parts of southern Afghanistan) in the west, through the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka to Indonesia and parts of the Philippines in the east.
		As its name implies, the dwarf honeybee is the smallest species of honeybee, troth In the body size of its workers and in the size of its nest.
		Although the question of how many honeybee species exist is still debated among taxonomists, at least four species are commonly recognized: the dwarf, or midget, bee Apis florea, the giant, or rock, bee Apis dorsata, the oriental (Indian, Chinese, Japanese, etc.) bee Apis cerana, and the common (European, African, etc.) honeybee Apis mellifera.
