  2. List of diseases of the honey bee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diseases_of_the...

    The bees cannot fly, and often crawl on the ground and up plant stems. In some cases, the crawling bees can be found in large numbers (1000+). The bees huddle together on the top of the cluster or on the top bars of the hive. They may have bloated abdomens due to distension of the honey sac. The wings are partially spread or dislocated.

  3. Honeybee starvation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeybee_starvation

    Honey bee starvation is a problem for bees and beekeepers.Starvation may be caused by unfavorable weather, disease, long distance transportation or depleting food reserve. Over-harvesting of honey (and the lack of supplemental feeding) is the foremost cause for scarcity as bees are not left with enough of a honey store, though weather, disease, and disturbance can also cause problem

  4. Centris pallida - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centris_pallida

    When it rains, the bees can get wet. If the bee is in a burrow, it may simply drown. If the bee is underneath something, when night comes, the bee may freeze to death due to the low temperatures in the desert. Since these bees are solitary, they don’t have the protection of a hive or colony; thus, they are more susceptible to the elements. [11]

  5. Winter cluster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_cluster

    In beekeeping, a winter cluster is a well-defined cluster of honey bees that forms inside a beehive when the air temperature dips below 10 to 14 °C (50 to 57 °F). Honey bees are one of only a few kinds of insects that survive the winter as a colony. As the outside air temperature decreases the winter cluster becomes tighter and more compact.

  6. Forage (honey bee) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forage_(honey_bee)

    Bees that are used for commercial pollination are usually fed in the holding yards. Forage is also significant for pollination management with other bee species. Nectar contains sugars that are the primary source of energy for the bees' wing muscles and for heat for honey bee colonies during the winter.

  7. Hive management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hive_management

    The bees are shipped in a cage clustered around a caged queen. The queen is typically unrelated to the bees, so the cage creates a barrier between the bees and the queen. Packages are usually shipped in the spring from regions of mild winter climates to areas that have more severe winters. [4]

    Colorado has seemingly eliminated one ingredient in the McDonald's Quarter Pounder hamburger E. coli outbreak as a cause for death and dozens of illnesses.

  9. Checkerboarding (beekeeping) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkerboarding_(beekeeping)

    Bees will not prepare for a reproductive swarm if they perceive the survival of the existing colony might be jeopardized. It is hypothesized that swarm preparation starts in the late winter. The over-wintering colony consumes honey and expands the brood volume.
