Bees were shown a pattern at the beginning of a tunnel, and then subjected to a series of variations: in the length of the tunnel (How long can bees retain the pattern in working memory?), in a choice between two patterns (matching and non ...

The structure of the comb may be left basically intact when honey is extracted from it by uncapping and spinning in a centrifugal honey extractor .

Though the word beehive is used to describe the nest of any bee colony, scientific and professional literature distinguishes nest from hive.
