Their numbers have declined substantially in the last several years because of two kinds of relatively new mites. This leaves pollination of apples, plums, sour cherries, peaches and other fruits questionable. Until now, the familiar light brown and black striped honeybee has been a reliable spring pollinator. A combination of mites sapping the strength of bees, added to normal winter survival hardships, has killed many hives.

(Lansing State Journal, July 30, 1997) Honeybees use nectar to make honey. Nectar is almost 80% water with some complex sugars. In fact, if you have ever pulled a honeysuckle blossom out of its stem, nectar is the clear liquid that drops from the end of the blossom. In North America, bees get nectar from flowers like clovers, dandelions, berry bushes and fruit tree blossoms. They use their long, tubelike tongues like straws to suck the nectar out of the flowers and they store it in their "honey stomachs". Bees actually have two stomachs, their honey stomach which they use like a nectar backpack and their regular stomach. The honey stomach holds almost 70 mg of nectar and when full, it weighs almost as much as the bee does. Honeybees must visit between 100 and 1500 f Read More Go to Site ABC-KID.com - Bee Pictures For Kids Votes:0 Animals Ants Bats Bees Beetles Canary Chameleon Cheetah Chimpanzee Cougar Cows Crab Crocodile Crow/Raven Deer Dinosaurs Dinosaurs Dolphins Duck Eagles Elephant Flamingo Fox Frogs Giraffe Goat Goldfish Great White Shark Grizzly Bear Hamster Hippopotamus Horses Kangaroo More......

Together, these creatures pollinate crops, turn over the soil more effectively than earthworms, and, in the case of the bee, furnish food in the form of honey. Even more importantly, some members of this order prey on other insects -- the single most important factor in keeping the Earth's insect population in check. The bee's eyes, like those of other insects, differ greatly from human eyes. They consist of a pair of compound eyes made up of numerous six-sided facets (28,000 in some dragonflies, 4,000 in house flies) plus three simple eyes. Despite this, their vision is believed to be sharp only for a distance of about 1 m.

Photo: B Hulbert. Bees belong to the insect Order Hymenoptera, which includes wasps, ants and sawflies. In Australia there are four main bee families: Apidae, Colletidae, Halictidae and Megachilidae. Many of these bees are solitary nesters, while others may share a nest. Others are fully social species. Although some bees sting, they are not considered to be pests as they play an important role in the Australian environment as key pollinators of many native plant species. Indigenous people have long used both the honey and the nests of native bees as valuable sources of food and wax. Commercially, the introduced Honey Bee is vital to the production of honey, but th Read More Go to Site Bees Votes:0 Bees Ever wonder how a honey bee (Apis mellifera) hive "works"? Inside the hive functions a highly organized society with intricate divisions of labor. Most of the work is done by workers, or sterile female bees. The workers build the honeycomb of wax they generate from glands under their abdomens. They also raise the young, forage for pollen to feed the larvae and nectar to make honey, and protect the nest from predators. Work is age-related: the worker starts out as a cleaner and then passes through the roles of nurse, builder, guard, and, finally, forager.

The queen bee mates with a male, called a drone. She then lays all the eggs. New hives are formed in summer, when a young queen leads lots of workers out of the old hive. Worker honeybees look after the young; and turn the nectar, into something that we call honey. A large hive can hold up to 50 000 bees. The parasitic bee looks like a blue fly. The parasitic bee looks like a bee, because the wings are exactly the same. It is actually a bee, as the name suggests.

The common species are 3/4 inch in length or more. Like honey bees, bumble bees live in a colony where the adults care for the young (larvae) produced by a single queen. Bumble bee nests are small compared to honey bees, as each nest contains only a few hundred individuals. Also unlike honey bees, a bumble bee nest is annual and is used only one year and then abandoned. Bumble bees usually nest in the ground in a deserted mouse nest or bird nest. Occasionally they nest in cavities within a wall or even in the clothes drier vent. In the spring, the queen selects a nest site and starts the colony by lining an existing cavity with dry grass or Read More Go to Site Bumble Bees Votes:0 Forest Preserve District of Cook County (Illinois) Nature Bulletin No. 65 May 11, 1946 Forest Preserve District of Cook County Clayton F.

Home sweet home Bees do not create honey; they are actually improving upon a plant product, nectar. The honey we eat is nectar that bees have repeatedly regurgitated and dehydrated. The average American consumes a little over one pound of honey a year. In the course of her lifetime, a worker bee will produce 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey. To make one pound of honey, workers in a hive fly 55,000 miles and tap two million flowers. In a single collecting trip, a worker will visit between 50 and 100 flowers. She will return to the hive carrying over half her weight in pollen and nectar. A productive hive can make and store up to two pounds of h Read More Go to Site Orchard Mason Bees Votes:0 Orchard Mason Bees This page offers WWW links outside WSU as an option for finding further information. No endorsement of product or information is implied by including this link. The orchard mason bee ( Osmia lignaria ) is a gentle beneficial insect that has potential as a pollinator of apples, cherries, and other tree fruits. It is found throughout most of North America, particularly in wooded areas but often around homes in towns and cities. Homeowners sometimes become concerned when they see the bee entering cavities under shake siding or investigating nail holes or other cavities in wood during March through early June. These are not destructive insects, since they do not excavate holes in the wood, though they will clean out loose debris. No controls are recommended, since no damage Read More Go to Site Ornamentals and Turf: Bees in Turf Votes:0 Bees in Turf Ornamentals and Turf Integrated Pest Management Department of Entomology Insect Note S.

In the 1950's, Brazilian scientists brought African honey bees to crossbreed with Brazil's local European honey bees. They hoped to produce a hybrid with greater tolerances for tropical climates. Several of the African bee colonies escaped into the wild and, encountering no natural enemies, thrived and successfully crossbred with European honey bees. The Africanized hybrids spread throughout South America and Central America, moving at a rate of 250 to 350 miles per year. In the fall of 1995, the bees entered southeastern California.

HABITAT: Sweat bees build small nests in the ground, often in the form of a colony. They stock the nest with pollen. Adult bees also feed on nectar and are important pollinators of many plants. Unfortunately, they are also attracted to sweat. TYPE OF DAMAGE: It is attracted to perspiration and stings when touched or disturbed. The sting though is usually very minor.

Many species lead solitary lives while other species show a high level of social organisation. The honeybee colony lives in a hive which is often constructed in a hollow tree. The colony has only one queen whose function is to lay eggs in the hexagonally shaped wax cells in the centre of the hive. The workers are all sterile females. Their functions are to feed and care for the larvae, build, clear and guard the hive and search for food. The workers change their jobs according to their ages.

It is found throughout most of North America, particularly in wooded areas but often around homes in towns and cities. With the declining feral or wild bee population, the Orchard Mason bee can be easily attracted to pollinate crop plants. It is a gentle, shiny blue-black metallic bee, and slightly smaller than a honey bee. Males are smaller than females and have longer antennae and an additional tuft of light colored hairs on the face. Females have hairs on the underside of the abdomen adapted for carrying pollen.
