Swarming (honey bee) Swarming is a honey bee colony's natural means of reproduction. In the process of swarming, a single colony splits into two or more distinct colonies. [1] Swarming is mainly a spring phenomenon, usually within a two- or three-week period depending on the locale, but occasional swarms can happen throughout the producing season.
The waggle dance - the direction the bee moves in relation to the hive indicates direction; if it moves vertically the direction to the source is directly towards the Sun. The duration of the waggle part of the dance signifies the distance. Waggle dance is a term used in beekeeping and ethology for a particular figure-eight dance of the honey bee.
Demaree method. In beekeeping, the Demaree method is a swarming prevention method. It was first published by George Demaree (1832–1915) in an article in the American Bee Journal in 1892. [ 1] Demaree also described a swarm prevention method in 1884, but that was a two-hive system that is unrelated to modern "demareeing".
Alarm pheromone. Two main alarm pheromones have been identified in honeybee workers. One is released by the Koschevnikov gland, near the sting shaft, and consists of more than 40 chemical compounds, including isopentyl acetate (IPA), butyl acetate, 1-hexanol, n -butanol, 1-octanol, hexyl acetate, octyl acetate, n -pentyl acetate and 2-nonanol.
Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is an optimization technique that simulates the foraging behavior of honey bees, and has been successfully applied to various practical problems [citation needed]. ABC belongs to the group of swarm intelligence algorithms and was proposed by Karaboga in 2005. A set of honey bees, called swarm, can ...
A similar story of the creation of bees is seen in the Book of Judges, where Samson puts forward the riddle of "out of the strong came forth sweetness," referring to a swarm of bees found inside a dead lion. [29] The bugonia belief is also reported in the Jerusalem Talmud [30] and the Babylonian Talmud. [31] [citation needed]
Bee Swarm Simulator is an incremental game developed by Onett where bees follow players around. The bees help collect pollen to convert into honey [ 12 ] and attack hostile mobs. [ 13 ] The game uses quests, events and other features to hook its players into continuing to play the game.
