Honeybee life cycle

	Honey Bee
		Honey Bees are the highest form of insect life, they live in a well organised colony that does not need to hibernate.
		Large carpenter bees are readily distinguished from bumble bees primarily by the absence of pubescence on the dorsum of the abdomen, which is somewhat shiny.
		Honey bees are the only other bees in Florida with this structure, but are easily recognized by their smaller size, hairy eyes, and lack of hind tibial spurs.

	Consortium decodes honey bee genome - Baylor College of Medicine
		The honey bee is an important model for social behavior with its striking development into queen and worker castes, each consisting of a different type of organism yet all having the same genome, and elaborate social organization in the hive.
		The honey bee genome fills an evolutionary gap in the growing collection of sequenced insects, and comparison between these insect genomes was an important part of the analysis.
		The honey bee has many vertebrate genes not previously found in sequenced insect genomes, thus revealing that these are not recent vertebrate innovations, but they are ancient genes from the 600 million-year-old last common ancestor of bees and vertebrates.

	Domestic Honey Bee - Apis mellifera - Cirrus Digital Imaging
		Large numbers of bees can raise the temperature inside the hive, if necessary, by decoupling their wings and vibrating their flight muscles; it is by this method the burning of carbohydrates derived from flowers is converted to heat.
		Between the 12th and 18th day of their existence, the bee's wax glands begin to produce the substance from which the combs are constructed.
		Honey bees infested by this parasite may become unable to fly.

	Honey Bee: pictures, information, classification and more
		Honey Bee, common name for any of several species of highly social bees known for their honey-hoarding behavior and their use as a domesticated species.
		Honey bees can be easily reared, are adaptable to many climates and to laboratory conditions, and have a complex social life.
		In addition to the familiar European honey bee, there are six other recognized species of honey bees, including the Indian honey bee, Koschevnikov's honey bee, the dwarf honey bee, the andreniform dwarf honey bee, the giant honey bee, and the mountain giant honey bee.

	MicroAngela - Honey Bee
		Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are important as pollinators of many flowering plants and are thus important for many kinds of crops.
		Honey bees collect nectar and pollen as food for their colonies, and pollinate plants as a consequence of their activities.
		Bees use several senses to locate nectar, find their hive again, and communicate with each other, and they are capable of learning.

	Honey Bee Colony Removal from Structures
		Honey bees are primary pollinators of almonds, apples, flberries, blueberries, cantaloupes, cranberries, cucumbers, forage crops, kiwi fruit, squash and watermelons.
		Honey bees vary in color from yellow to fl, have fl or brown bands across the abdomen and are much smaller than a carpenter bee.
		Honey bee swarms that have recently entered the wall of a structure, say for a day or so, can often be exterminated by injecting a pesticide recommended for bee control into the cavity.

	Honey Bee Excrement
		Honey is essentially "bee vomit," although it is not in good taste to request honey by this name in restaurants.
		In Ohio, 82 percent of the red clover population are pollinated by honey bees, and the remaining 15 percent are pollinated by bumble bees.
		With a dense honey bee population in the clover fields, the yield is increased to 8 bushels per acre, and with maximum insect pollination 12 to 20 bushels per acre.

	Honey Bee Printout - EnchantedLearning.com
		Like all insects, bees have six legs, a three-part body, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, jointed legs, and a hard exoskeleton.

	Bee Research
		Honey bees also produce honey and beeswax, which are valued at $285 million in US annually.
		Not only because they produce honey and honey is the earliest sweetener human beings have found, but because of their industriousness (working to their death), selflessness (producing honey for humans and dying to defend their home), and most importantly, their social organization.
		Honey bees are increasingly being used as a model system to study other aspects of biology.

	What Everyone Needs to Know About Bee Stings (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Bee stings are a normal part of life in the country and a normal part of working with bees.
		Many people enjoy bees and consider the occasional sting to be the price we pay for the pleasure of their company, for having them pollinate our food crops and for providing us with honey.
		Bees usually leave a visible stinger in the wound and it should be removed by brushing or scraping it off as soon as possible to minimise the amount of venom received.

	Sue Bee Honey >> About Honey >> Encyclobeedia
		When a bee is 10 days old, she produces wax which is used to build combs and to cap cells.
		When the worker bee is gathering pollen, it sticks to her backlegs and she carries it back to the hive where it is used as food.
		Honey-making field bees also help in cross-pollination, because pollen from the stamen of one flower sticks to their bodies and is carried to another flower where it rubs off onto the pistil.

		However, if you are allergic to honey bee stings (less than one person in 100 is), a single sting from either bee--Africanized or domestic--could cause a severe allergic reaction.
		When a bee's body is crushed by swatting, it produces an odor that incites other bees to attack in greater numbers.
		Honey bees are attracted to hair and dark colors.

	HONEY BEE NUTRITION AND SUPPLEMENTAL FEEDING
		Honey bees require proteins (amino acids), carbohydrates (sugars), lipids (fatty acids, sterols), vitamins, minerals (salts), and water, and these nutrients must be in the diet in a definite qualitative and quantitative ratio for optimum nutrition.
		Bees are unable to collect wheast in its original dry state because of its large particle size; therefore, it must be fed as moist cake inside the hive.
		Whenever the honey supply in the colony is low and nectar in the field is in short supply, or inaccessible due to adverse weather, the colonies should be fed sugar supplement.

	Bee control - killer bee and honey bee removal
		Killer bees are dangerous despite the new name, They will attack anything moving within 100 yards of their nest without provocation, and will chase a running target much farther than less excitable varieties of bees.
		Honey bees may establish a nest inside the wall of the house or other building causing a problem, a health hazard and a serious danger to the structure.

	Honey bee
		Honey bees have several varieties or races and have been bred for honey production, temperament and resistance to disease.
		Africanized honey bees or "killer bees" can not easily be differentiated from commercial varieties and require measuring several bees from a colony and comparing measurements.
		Worker bees communicate with other worker bees, conveying information about the type of nearby nectar source, distance and direction from the hive using "dances." They also regulate the temperature (thermoregulate) in the colony and collect water to use as an evaporative coolant during hot time of the year.
