Honey Bee Project! Take Two…

Honey Bee Background 1500 B.C. – early signs of Beekeeping Important Terms: Beekeeping Tools: 1568 – discovered bees could raise a queen from young larva 1586 – queen described as mother of the hive drones showed as male bees showed that nectar did not fall from the sky importance bees have in pollination showed discovered that all workers are female

Important Terms Dro ne: Brood: a number of young produced or hatched at one time Drone: A lazy male honey bee Worker: Female honey bees who take care of the hive Queen: mother of the hive Propolis: A reddish resinous cement collected by bees from the buds of tree Swarm: honeybees that emigrate from a hive and fly off together, accompanied by a queen, to start a new colony. Overwinter: The bees ability of survive the winter

Not all Bees are the Same Bumble Bee: Social insects that have black and yellow body hairs, often in bands. Do not store honey, but feed on nectar and pollen. Live in small nests (50). Different Breeds of Honey Bees: Different Types of Bee Hives: Apis Mellifera Hornet: They make hive and comb out of chewed tree bark. Feed on other insects. Honey Bee: Any bee that stores and collects honey.(Apis Mellifera)

Honey Bee Breeds and Hives Carniolan Honey Bee + Originates in Slovenia + Over winters well + Less susceptible to brood disease + Rapid build up in early spring Italian Honey Bees + General purpose bee + Easy to locate queen + Wonderful Forager + Resistant to European Foul Brood Langstroth Hive + Invented in 1850 by Rev. L.L. Langstroth + Start of industrial beekeeping + Rectangular hive, movable frames, spaced specifically for honey bees Top Bar Hive + Developed in Greece thousands of years ago + Inexpensive + Natural size cells
