When foraging for honey, chimps will use modified short sticks to scoop the honey out of the hive, that is, if the bees are stingless.

In the hive ( or in a wild nest ), there are three types of bees:

The worker bees raise larvae and collect the nectar that will become honey in the hive.

The process continues as bees inside the hive fan their wings, creating a strong draft across the honeycomb, which enhances evaporation of much of the water from the nectar.

* Multiple sperm lines may confer more variation in traits to female's offspring, this seems to be the case in the honey bee where bees from different sperm lines excel at different roles within a single hive, benefiting the health of the hive as a whole.

Beeswax is a natural wax produced in the bee hive of honey bees of the genus Apis.

For the wax-making bees to secrete wax, the ambient temperature in the hive has to be.

* 5-hive Visualize the fifth item associated with a hive or with bees

* Bread: Picture bees flying from a loaf of bread as if it is a hive

Honey bees consume about 8. 4 lbs ( 4 kg ) of honey to secrete 1 lb ( 500 g ) of wax, so it makes economic sense to return the wax to the hive after harvesting the honey, commonly called " pulling honey " or " robbing the bees " by beekeepers.

Young worker bees clean the hive and feed the larvae.

In cold climates honey bees stop flying when the temperature drops below about and crowd into the central area of the hive to form a " winter cluster ".

Those species of honey bees which nest in tree cavities use propolis to seal cracks in the hive.

Small swarms of Africanized bees are capable of taking over European honey bee hives by invading the hive and establishing their own queen after killing the European queen.

* Has a higher proportion of " guard " bees within the hive.

In Brazil, the African hybrids are known as Assassin Bees, for their habit of taking over an existing hive of European bees ; this habit is most evident when the hive being attacked has a weakened queen, so not all hives are equally vulnerable, and overall rates of hive usurpation can reach 20 %.

Outside the hive, the pheromones cause the male bees, or drones, to become attracted to a queen and mate with it.

When the hive population growth is reduced in preparation for winter or due to poor late summer forage, the mite population growth can overtake that of the bees and can then destroy the hive.

The VMCE works in conjunction with a screened bottom board, by dislodging varroa mites from bees as they enter and exit a hive.

This difference is too minute to measure on an actual honeycomb, and irrelevant to the hive economy in terms of efficient use of wax, considering that wild comb varies considerably from any mathematical notion of " ideal " geometry.

The hive is grown out of sight in the Undercity right below the Grand Hall of Justice and his plan is to use explosives to blow a hole big enough to flood the centre of justice with aliens.

It was also found that bees exposed to imidacloprid performed the " waggle dance ," the movements that bees use to inform hive mates of the location of foraging plants, at a lesser rate.

This will allow the bees to access the side which they must use to access comb in the back of the hive for storing nectar.

The culling of old comb is easier in the top-bar hive as a part of the managed progression of bar use.

The simplicity of the top-bar hive allows use of salvage materials and even boxes and containers such as half-drums, drawers and packing crates.

Hobby beekeepers using specifically designed top-bar hives have been able to successfully keep bees without any medications, important since the medications are dangerous to humans and their time of use must be carefully managed to minimise contamination of hive products.

They use a hive mind to pass memory to their hosts, which also passes an individual's knowledge, given to a broodling, to the hive and back to the queen, meaning newborn brood know what any member of a race knows.

Bees use these to find the entrance to their colony or hive, and they release them on flowers so other bees know which flowers have nectar.

Langstroth's patent of 5 October 1852 adopted between the side bars of a frame and hive wall, and also reserved rights to use the distance between top-bars and inner cover, the latter of which represents a gap larger than optimal.

Many commercial beekeepers use what is known as a migratory cover, a solid cover which does not extend beyond the sides of a hive body.

Commercial operations usually use one-or two-deep hive bodies for brood, and additional shallow hive components for honey supers.

* the great use of propolis may be seen as undesirable as it makes hive management more difficult.

The ZPMs are stolen from him in by another hive, to use in powering a cloning facility.

After several dead ends, Cosmo hits upon the idea to use the Satellite to scan for the Parasite hive.

Usually a beekeeper or bee removal company will use a bee vacuum to capture the bees in a caged container so they can transport to a bee observation hive.

Contemplating strategies, Sheppard suggests that they remotely control the Puddle Jumpers using the Chair and fly them, cloaked, into the hive ships armed with an explosive ; he believes they should ask the Genii to use their nuclear weapons.

The commercial honey producers use Langstroth hive frames.

Coumaphos bee strips ( Bayer Corporation ) have been approved for use in hives for the control of small hive beetles in some states under an emergency registration.

From this point the hive mind began to use materials around them to construct a fusion cannon.

All life forms are classified according to their metabolism, internal and external features, and more extreme abilities ( telepathy, empathy, hive mind, etc.

Their duties change upon the age of the bee in the following order ( beginning with cleaning out their own cell after eating through their capped brood cell ): feed brood ; receive nectar ; clean hive ; guard duty ; and foraging.

Some workers engage in other specialized behaviors, such as " undertaking " ( removing corpses of their nestmates from inside the hive ).

The queen, through telepathy, explains that the Formics had initially assumed humans were a non-sentient race due to a lack of hive mind, but realized their mistake too late.

They are social insectoids similar to Earth ants in hive activity, but considerably larger and their sting is deadly poison.

They are known as the " Great Devourer " and also " Shadow In The Warp " ( after the effect of their hive mind on FTL travel and communications ) and pose a severe threat to the Imperium.

A hive may refer to a beehive, an enclosed structure in which some honey bee species live and raise their young.

) Other species include the Veloxi, large insects who demand bribes from ships which violate their space ; androids, Interstel models which can be part of the crew, and a mechanical " race " ( the Mechans ) left over from the days of the Old Empire ; the Elowan, a pacifistic race of sentient plants ; the Thrynn, reptile creatures who are primarily interested in money ; Spemin, gelatinous blobs who are known for their cowardice ; the Gazurtoid, octopus-like zealots who regard all " air-breathers " as infidels ; and the Uhlek, a destructive fleet of ships with a hive mind.

He was also the first to confirm that mating with drones takes place outside of hives and that queens are inseminated by a number of successive matings with male drones, high in the air at a great distance from their hive.

This is a mutual dependency as bees rely on a steady nectar source and pollen source throughout the year to build up their hive.

In their study, the researchers used Radio-frequency identification ( RFID ) to test the hypothesis that a sublethal exposure to a neonicotinoid indirectly increases hive death rate through homing failure in foraging honey bees.

Foragers communicate their floral findings in order to recruit other worker bees of the hive to forage in the same area.

It has long been known that successfully foraging Western honey bees perform a dance on their return to the hive, known as waggle dance, indicating that food is farther away, while the round dance is a short version of the waggle dance, indicating that food is nearby.

When scouts returned to the hive to communicate their find, other bees refused to go with them, not expecting to find food in the middle of a lake, even though they frequently flew over the lake to reach pollen sources on the opposite shore.

* One of the stories in the 2007 < i > Star Trek: Strange New Worlds </ i > non-canon short story anthology, titled " The Trouble with Tribals ," posits that tribbles are actually extremely intelligent beings that transfer their consciousnesses from one body to the next as parent tribbles die, forming a kind of very powerful hive mind.

For example: when bees move from their hive for food they balance the stimuli from the sun as well as flower but reside on the flower whose intensity is higher for them.

Example: Bees returning to their hive at night, movement of ant with response to the sun.
