Have you seen the The Amazing World of Birds Yet The Social Bees = Apidae. Introduction Not all the Apidae are social those that are not, are called Solitary Bees and are not the concern of this page. Honey Bees have a long history of association with man. 9 000 years ago gathering wild honey was already such an important part of mankinds' activities that he was painting scenes about it on the walls of his caves, a few thousand years later people in China and Egypt were keeping bees in hives made out of wicker baskets, nowadays thousands of pages of literature are devoted to Honey Bees and their culture every year. Recently a subspecies of Apis mellifera A.mellifera scutellata has become infamous as Africanised Honey Bee . Honey Bees however are not the only social bees, both the Bumble Bees (Bombinae) and the mostly South American Stingless Bees (Meliponinae) are also social. Menu Honey Bees Bumble Bees Stingless Bees Bumble Bees Bumble Bees are the least advanced of the major groups of Eusocial Bees and their foraging is limited by the fact that they have not evolved any means of communicating information reguarding utilisable resources. There are about 300 species of Bumble Bee world wide and they are either of the normal nest building brood raising type, all those in the genus

123. Gordon's Solitary Bee Page Though both Solitary bees and Wasps build their nest individually you still protandry ie males emerge before females is the norm in solitary bees and it http://www.earthlife.net/insects/solbees.html

An Introduction to the Solitary Bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) Menu Introduction Mating and Nesting Foraging Weather ... Book Reviews Introduction, Bees have probably been around since just after the first flowering plants appeared and fossils date back to the Cenozoic. Bees are not only cute, but are extremely important to the ecology of most habitats as they are the primary pollinators of entomophilous plants (entomophilous plants are plants pollinated by insects, in comparison with anemophilous plants which are pollinated by the wind.) They are therefore of inestimable economic importance as well, in America millions of solitary bees of the family Megachile are farmed and looked after every year because of their pollination services. They have biting chewing mouth parts and two pairs of wings of which the hind pair are generally smaller. Of Bees and Wasps The main difference between Bees and Wasps is that Bees feed their larvae on 'honey' a mixture of pollen and nectar which they have collected from flowers, whereas Wasps feed their larvae on meat, mostly paralysed arthropods (the exception to this rule is a small family of wasps called the Masarinae who feed their larvae on a pollen nectar mixture). If you get to look at them under a microscope you will see another difference, i.e. Bees always have some, often many, 'plumose' or 'feather-like' hairs, these help in collecting pollen; Wasps always have only un-branched hairs like you and me. Bees originated from hunting wasps (Sphecoidea).

In fact, bees are one of the major insect groups responsible for pollination of rainforest trees. Flowers that attract bees usually have a sweet odor. So called "killer bees" are a type of southern African honeybee that mated with wild bees in the forests of Brazil (becoming Africanized Honey Bees. During a 1957 science experiment, African honeybees were accidentally released in Brazil. They moved north through the rainforest eventually reaching Panama and Mexico in the 1980s. The first "migrating swarm of Africanized bees was detected in the US on October 15, 1990" in Hidalgo, Texas. To this day, they continue to spread throught Northa America.

126. Hiking England Personal description by Tom and Veralyn Davids, of the route, going from St bees to Robin Hood's Bay. Not a description of the route, but general thoughts on some interesting aspects of hiking this trail. http://www.weeklywalker.com/Footnotes/England.htm

WEEKLY WALKER By Tom Davids Hiking England Coast-To-Coast “I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils. . .” by William Wordsworth, who walked some 175,000 miles in his lifetime, mostly in the Lake District, England One of my favorite books for dreaming is “Classic Walks of the World” edited by Walt Unsworth. The book features 17 walks that include such favorites as the Milford Trail in New Zealand, the John Muir Trail in California, the Cordillera Blanca Trek in Peru, and the trek to the base of Mount Everest in Nepal. It also reviews a famous walk in England, the Pennine Way, but it does not include the “classic” walk that my wife Veralyn and I just completed—the Coast-to-Coast Walk from St. Bee’s on the west coast (Irish Sea) to Robin Hood’s Bay on the east coast (North Sea). This is not an “official” trail, but a combination of public footpaths and country roads. The total distance of the Coast-to-Coast Trail is 190 miles, but we reduced the hiking mileage to 120 miles by driving across the less scenic farming areas while hiking through three national parks—the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North York Moors. For the active walker, England is just short of paradise, with a lifetime of destinations. Post a map of England on the wall, close your eyes, and point to any part of the map, and you’re likely to be only a stone’s throw from a public pathway.

The Buzz About Bees A Web Quest on Honey Bees by Chris Elrod Introduction Task Process Resources ... Conclusion Introduction In our unit on plant growth and development we have been studying the life cycle of plants. We have just begun to study pollination and the role that honey bees play in this stage of a plant's life. But did you know that bees are facing many threats to their survival and that their population is decreasing at an alarming rate? Bees are more important to us than you might think. What will happen if we do not have enough bees? Buzz back to top The Task The local beekeepers association has learned that you have been studying the life cycle of plants and the role bees play in pollination. They are concerned that the public is not aware of the decrease in the honey bee population and the consequences of not having enough honey bees. They want you to produce a two minute commercial that educates the public on the importance of honey bees. You and your team will investigate several different resources and gather information to create a commercial that addresses these issues. Buzz back to top The Process Step One Before you can begin to create your commercial, you will be assigned to a team of 3 students to gather the information you need. In your team, each of you will be given a role in collecting information. Here is a list of roles and responsibilities:

HGIC 2500 http://hgic.clemson.edu Bumble Bees Around the House Bumble bees ( Bombus species) are large, attractive insects that are of interest to children, scientists, beekeepers, naturalists, conservationist, home gardeners, farmers and commercial bumble bee breeders. There are several bumble bee species found in South Carolina which vary in size and coloration. These highly beneficial insects pollinate many native plants, home-grown fruits and vegetables and agricultural crops. Though bumble bees are highly social insects, their colonies are not perennial in nature as honey bees. They do not store a surplus of honey, which can be harvested. Bumble bee populations in nature fluctuate from year to year depending on many factors including weather, parasites and predators. IDENTIFICATION Bumble bees are large robust insects with black and yellow coloration. The bumble bee has a black or yellow hairy abdomen, which is a character that can be used to differentiate it from a carpenter bee, which has a black, shiny, hairless abdomen. The foraging bumble bee has a large pollen basket on each hind leg that is often loaded with pollen. The bumble bee queens are typically twice a large as workers or males. A female bumble bee has a pointed abdomen with a stinger. Males do not have a stinger and the tip of the abdomen is rounded. LIFE CYCLE The bumble bee colony is made up of three types of individuals (queen, undeveloped female workers and males). Bumble bees produce annual colonies in South Carolina. Only the mated queens overwinter (survive the winter). Nests are started in early spring by these solitary, fertilized queens. These queens are often seen feeding on spring flowers or searching for a suitable nest site. Normally, nests are established in an abandoned rodent or bird nest in the ground. The solitary queen begins the colony by collecting pollen and forming it into a small lump. She lays six to eight

One Shields Avenue, Davis, California 95616-8699 530.752.8136 HOME United States Department of Agriculture Cooperative State Research Education and Extension Service Office for Small-Scale Agriculture Bees More than 211,000 beekeepers maintain about 3.2 million honey bee colonies in the United States. Thousands of beekeepers are small-scale entrepreneurs. Aside from the pleasures of the hobby, they keep honey bees for the production of honey, pollen, beeswax, propolis, and royal jelly. Only in the last century have people begun to recognize the value of bees as pollinators. Pollinators include not only honey bees, but also more than 3,500 species of pollen bees in North America. The contribution of bees as pollinators of cultivated crops far outweighs the value of hive products. Although most beekeepers specialize in honey bees, some raise pollen bees for their pollination services. Beekeeping's profitability depends on many factors, and the decision to enter this occupation should be made carefully. Bee-keepers should know about bee biology, flora, and management, and should also possess business ability. They should understand that beekeeping is subject to factors beyond their control - such as market prices that fluctuate and weather elements that range from drought to floods and temperature extremes. Entrepreneurs intent on commercializing should decide whether to be migratory or nonmigratory and select locations that offer opportunities for pollination rentals; production of honey, beeswax, or pollen; and selling of packaged bees and queens.
