Urban, suburban, and uncultivated areas provide more consistent warm-season nectar forage than areas that are heavily cultivated with only a few agricultural crops. The nectar sources from large cultivated fields of blooming apples, cherries, canola, melons, sunflowers, clover, etc. benefit a bee keeper who is willing to travel with his hives ...
Bee Swarm Simulator is an incremental game developed by Onett where bees follow players around. The bees help collect pollen to convert into honey [12] and attack hostile mobs. [13] The game uses quests, events and other features to hook its players into continuing to play the game.
Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is an optimization technique that simulates the foraging behavior of honey bees, and has been successfully applied to various practical problems [citation needed]. ABC belongs to the group of swarm intelligence algorithms and was proposed by Karaboga in 2005. A set of honey bees, called swarm, can ...
Swarming is a honey bee colony's natural means of reproduction. In the process of swarming, a single colony splits into two or more distinct colonies. [ 1] Swarming is mainly a spring phenomenon, usually within a two- or three-week period depending on the locale, but occasional swarms can happen throughout the producing season.
Apis mellifica mellifica silvarum Goetze, 1964 (Unav.) The western honey bee or European honey bee ( Apis mellifera) is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bees worldwide. [ 3][ 4] The genus name Apis is Latin for 'bee', and mellifera is the Latin for 'honey-bearing' or 'honey-carrying', referring to the species' production of honey ...
The Carniolan honey bee is a subspecies of the Western honey bee, that has naturalised and adapted to the Kočevje (Gottschee) sub-region of Carniola ( Slovenia ), the southern part of the Austrian Alps, Dinarides region, southern Pannonian plain and the northern Balkans. These bees are known as Carniolans, or "Carnies" for short, in English.
Nectar plays a crucial role in the foraging economics and evolution of nectar-eating species; for example, nectar foraging behavior is largely responsible for the divergent evolution of the African honey bee, A. m. scutellata and the western honey bee. [citation needed] Nectar is an economically important substance as it is the sugar source for ...
Nasonov pheromone. The Nasonov (alternatively, Nasanov) pheromone is released by worker bees to orient returning forager bees back to the colony. To broadcast this scent, bees raise their abdomens, which contain the Nasonov glands, and fan their wings vigorously. Nasonov includes a number of different terpenoids including geraniol, nerolic acid ...
