Dictionary » H » Honeybees Honeybees(Science: zoology) Any bee of the genus apis, which lives in communities and collects honey, especially. The common domesticated hive bee (apis mellifica), the Italian bee (a. Ligustica), and the Arabiab bee (a. Fasciata). The two latter are by many entomologists considered only varieties of the common hive bee. Each swarm of bees consists of a large number of workers (barren females), with, ordinarily, one queen or fertile female, but in the swarming season several young queens, and a number of males or drones, are produced.

Results from our forumThe Fiber Disease... of such a superorganism. Thermoregulation, a feature usually exhibited by individual organisms, does not occur in individuals or small groups of honeybees of the species Apis mellifera. When these bees pack together in clusters of between 5000 and 40000, the colony can thermoregulate.[3] James ...

The Fiber Disease... electrostatically charged, phage adsorption increases by 1% per 6.73 pC. This is not a new story because the same laboratory reported in 2000 that honeybees and bumblebees adsorb Bacillus subtilis spores as well as microbeads . The electrostatic charge matters here as well. In the authors’ words: ...
