A Method for Distinctly Marking Honey Bees, Apis mellifera, Originating from Multiple Apiary Locations
Inexpensive and non-intrusive marking methods are essential to track natural behavior of insects for biological experiments. An inexpensive, easy to construct, and easy to install bee marking device is described in this paper. The device is mounted at the entrance of a standard honey bee Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) hive and is fitted with a removable tube that dispenses a powdered m...
متن کاملForaging Range of Honey Bees, Apis mellifera, in Alfalfa Seed Production Fields
A study was conducted in 2006 and 2007 designed to examine the foraging range of honey bees, Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae), in a 15.2 km(2) area dominated by a 128.9 ha glyphosate-resistant Roundup Ready® alfalfa seed production field and several non-Roundup Ready alfalfa seed production fields (totaling 120.2 ha). Each year, honey bee self-marking devices were placed on 112 selected hon...
متن کاملA Method for Copyright Marking
Previously [1], we demonstrated a method for automated search for query-identical images and their differentiation from the query image closest analogs, based on the previously described nonprobabilistic method for hypothesis generation and verification (HyGV-2D) [2-3] applied to analysis of grayscale (or color) histograms. The HyGV method provides the differentiation between original images an...
متن کاملShifts in the Midgut/Pyloric Microbiota Composition within a Honey Bee Apiary throughout a Season
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are prominent crop pollinators and are, thus, important for effective food production. The honey bee gut microbiota is mainly host specific, with only a few species being shared with other insects. It currently remains unclear how environmental/dietary conditions affect the microbiota within a honey bee population over time. Therefore, the aim of the present study wa...
متن کاملThe foraging behaviour of honey bees, Apis mellifera: a review
Foraging behaviour is one of the distinctive behaviours of honey bees, Apis mellifera. This behaviour is the link between the honey bee colony and the ambient environment. Therefore, various in-colony and out-colony factors have an impact on this behaviour, and many studies have been employed to investigate these factors. Foraging behaviour is not advantageous only for the colony and for plant ...
