Book Synopsis The Dark Side of the Hive by : Robin Moritz
Download or read book The Dark Side of the Hive written by Robin Moritz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honey bees have been described as exceptionally clever, well-organized, mutualistic, collaborative, busy, efficient--in short a perfect society. While the colony is indeed a marvel of harmonious, efficient organization, it also has a considerable dark side. Authors Robin Moritz and Robin Crewe write about the life history of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, highlighting conflict rather than harmony, failure rather than success, from the perspective of the individual worker in the colony. When one looks carefully, the honey bee colony is far from being perfect. As with any complex social system, honeybee societies are prone to error, robbery, cheating, and social parasitism. Nevertheless, the hive gets by remarkably well in spite of many seemingly odd biological features. The perfection that is perceived to exist in the honeybee's social organization is the function of a focus on the colony as a whole rather than exploring the idiosyncrasies of its individual members. The Dark Side of the Hive thus focuses on the role of the individual rather than that of the collective. Moritz and Crewe dissect the various careers that individual male and female honey bees can take and their role in colony organization. Competition between individuals using both physical and chemical force drives colonial organization. This book deals with individual mistakes, maladaptations and evolutionary dead-ends that are also part of the bees' life. The story told about these dark sides of the colony spans the full range of biological disciplines ranging from genomics to systems biology.
Book Synopsis The Origin and Organization of the Bee Colony Apis mellifera L. by : Eugeney Eskov
Download or read book The Origin and Organization of the Bee Colony Apis mellifera L. written by Eugeney Eskov and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines original information on the honey bee’s adaptation to a wide range of environmental factors, which have enabled it to adapt to life on all continents inhabited by humans. It shows that the origin of the bee colony is associated with its transformation into an integral biological unit, subjected to the action of natural selection, and explains the contradiction between the eurythermia of the bee colony and the stochasticity of a single member of it. Adaptations to long wintering, which are based primarily on the ethological response to cooling, are also considered, as are specific acoustic and electrical signals used in the spatial orientation and communication of bees. The book will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in the studying of the ethology and physiology of animals.

Book Synopsis Regulation of Worker Reproduction in the Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera L.) by : Shelley Hoover

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reproductive division of labour is a defining characteristic of eusocial insects. In honey bees, there is normally a single, highly fecund queen, responsible for producing all the brood in the colony. Workers are functionally sterile, developing their latent ovaries only upon queen loss. Workers cannot mate, and are only capable of laying unfertilised, male eggs. I investigated the effects of various chemical, genetic, and nutritional factors on the ovary development of honey bee workers. I demonstrate that queen mandibular pheromone inhibits worker ovary development in caged queenless workers to the same degree as queen extracts. Four newly identified queen pheromone components did not inhibit ovary development alone, nor did they increase the efficacy of the other components. Anarchistic bees are a line developed by recurrent selection in which workers commonly reproduce in queenright colonies. There was no difference between the ovary development of anarchistic or wild type workers in colonies headed by anarchistic or wild type queens, therefore queen type is not responsible for the phenomenon. Anarchistic workers perceive queen pheromones, and anarchistic queens produce an attractive blend, as I found no differences in the retinue response of either worker type to either queen type. There also was no difference in response to queen pheromones at a high dose. At lower doses, however, wild type workers were more inhibited by queen pheromones than were anarchistic workers. Both adult and larval diet influenced adult ovary development, but workers fed high quality diets as adults had higher levels of ovary development than those fed low quality diets as adults regardless of larval diet quality. Nutrition is likely responsible for the seasonal variation observed in ovary development. Disruptive selection resulted in lines of bees with high or low levels of ovary development. High ovary development colonies collected far more pollen than their low line counterparts. Cross-fostering workers from the high line into the low line and vice versa demonstrated that there is an effect of both genotype and rearing environment. These results demonstrate the complex interactions between nutrition, pheromones, genetics, and environment that determine worker reproductive potential.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines some important physiological and pheromonal factors regulating foraging and colony growth in honey bee colonies. The first study analyzed effects of soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) on the development of hypopharyngeal gland, midgut enzyme activity and survival of the honey bee. In this study newly emerged caged bees were fed pollen diets containing three different concentrations of SBTI. Bees fed 1% SBTI had significantly reduced hypopharyngeal gland protein content. This study indicated that nurse bees fed a pollen diet containing at least 1% SBTI would be poor producers of larval food. In the second study nurse bee biosynthesis of brood food was manipulated using SBTI, and the resulting effects on pollen foraging were measured. Experimental colonies were given equal amounts of SBTI treated and untreated pollen. SBTI treatments had significantly lower hypopharyngeal gland protein content than controls. There was no significant difference in the ratio of pollen to non-pollen foragers and pollen load weights collected between the treatments. These results supported the pollen foraging effort predictions generated from the direct independent effects hypothesis. In the third study we tested whether brood pheromone (BP) regulated queen egg laying via modulation of worker-queen interactions and nurse bee rearing behaviors. This experiment had BP and control treatments. Queens in the BP treatment laid greater number of eggs, were fed for a greater amount of time and were less idle. Significantly more time was spent in cell cleaning by the bees in BP treatments. The results suggest that brood pheromone regulated queen egg-laying rate by modulating worker-queen interactions and nurse bee rearing behavior. The final study of this dissertation focused on how dose-dependent BP-mediated division of labor affected the partitioning of non-foraging and foraging work forces and the amount of brood reared. Triple cohort colonies were used and there were three treatments, Low BP, High BP and Control. Low BP treatments had significantly higher ratio of pollen to non-pollen foragers and greater pollen load weights. Low BP treatment bees foraged at a significantly younger age. This study has shown that BP elicits dose-dependent modulation of foraging and brood rearing behaviors.
