  2. Honey bee 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

  3. Bee learning and communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_learning_and_communication

    Swarming bees require good communication to all congregate in the same place. Honey bees are adept at associative learning, and many of the phenomena of operant and classical conditioning take the same form in honey bees as they do in the vertebrates. Efficient foraging requires such learning. For example, honey bees make few repeat visits to a ...

  4. Feeder (beekeeping) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeder_(Beekeeping)

    Syrup feeders with a 2:1 concentration of water and sugar by weight are typically used in the fall after the last honey is removed. At the beginning of the brood rearing season in the late winter or spring a 1:1 concentration of water and sugar is typically used.

  5. Honey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey

    Honey is a sweet and viscous substance made by several species of bees, the best-known of which are honey bees. [1] [2] Honey is made and stored to nourish bee colonies.Bees produce honey by gathering and then refining the sugary secretions of plants (primarily floral nectar) or the secretions of other insects, like the honeydew of aphids.

    Nosemosis can also be prevented or minimized by removing much of the honey from the beehive, then feeding the bees on sugar water in the late fall. Sugar water made from refined sugar has lower ash content than flower nectar, reducing the risk of dysentery. Refined sugar, however, contains fewer nutrients than natural honey, which causes some ...

    For decades, the rumor has always been that if a swarm of bees comes after you, then the first thing you should do is find a lake or pool and submerge yourself in water. Don’t listen to that advice.

  8. Proboscis extension reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proboscis_extension_reflex

    Individual bees were placed in a tube with their head sticking out. Then a stream of odorant blown towards the bee's head was immediately followed by touching the antenna with a sugar droplet. After only three such trials, the odor alone caused the bee to extend its proboscis approximately 90% of the time.

  9. Nectarivore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nectarivore

    Some flying nectarivores, particularly larger bees, do not lose enough water by evaporation while on the wing to offset their high intake due to nectar-feeding, as well as water produced metabolically while flying. They must excrete while on the wing to prevent water loading, and may wait at the nest entrance to evaporate off some of their ...
