Stereotypes Of Honey Bees

Introduction: Honey bees, although one of the most popular bees, represent only a small percent of bee species. Honey bees are the only surviving group of bees from the Apini tribe, which is under the Apisgenus. They are known for producing and storing honey, or liquefied sugar, as well as building impressively large nests using wax secreted by workers in a particular colony. The honey bee is one member of the insect class Insecta. These insects are members of the subfamily Apinae, which produce and store liquefied sugar, otherwise known as honey. The honey-bees (Apis mellifera) which are considered the pollinators of the plants and they also participate in the organization of a complex society have an essential role in the
They are known for producing and storing honey, or liquefied sugar, as well as building impressively large nests using wax secreted by workers in a particular colony. The honey bee is one member of the insect class Insecta. Advances in dissecting the complex processes of honeybee behavior have been limited in the recent past due to a lack of genetic manipulation tools. Therefore, the highly efficient integration and expression of piggyBac-derived cassettes in the honeybee will be applied. 20% of queens stably transmitted two different expression cassettes to their offspring, which is a 6- to 30-fold increase in efficiency compared with those generally reported in other insect species. This high efficiency implies that an average beekeeping facility with a limited number of colonies can apply this tool. The cassette is stably and efficiently transmitted and expressed in the next generation. Utilization of different promoters enables the transcription of tissue and stage specific hairpin RNA from the cassette, directing conditional inhibition of gene functions by RNAi. Additionally, the transcription of mRNA and translation of the ORF can be directed which result in the conditional activation of gene functions. The efficient integration and expression of piggyBac-derived cassettes in the honeybee genome can be used for the conditional manipulation of gene functions; in addition to
- Honeybees have five eyes, 3 small ones on top of the head and two big ones in front; they also have hair on their eyes.
- A colony of bees can contain between 20,000 and 60,000 bees, but only one queen bee.
- Honeybees are the only insect that produces food for humans.
- Eating honey can help you smarter! It is the only food to contain ‘pinocembrin’ that is an antioxidant that improves brain function.
- Worker bees, who are all female, are the only ones who will attack you, and only if they feel
