Bee flying

Suppose an atom is likened to bees flying around their beehive. The beehive would be compared to the nucleus and the bees roving about the countryside would be compared to the electrons of the atom. [Pg.104]

Flowers must be pollinated for fruit to form (see alsop.290). Some apples are "self-fertile"— pollination is achieved by bees flying from flower to flower on the same tree. Others cannot set a crop on their own and need to be planted within bee-flying distance of another cultivar that is both compatible and in flower at the same time. Your neighbors yard is usually close enough. A crab apple can also make an effective pollinator. [Pg.294]

Super Bee flies back and forth between the speeding trains... [Pg.217]

The Problem How far does a bee travel if it flies back and forth between trains that are approaching each other on the same track — one train traveling at 60 mph and the other traveling 75 mph — if the bee flies at 90 mph and, when it started this journey, the trains were 648 miles apart ... [Pg.217]

I believe that this illustration of the bee is a reminder to each and every one of us that we truly can accomplish anything we want to in life as long as we believe that we can. The bee flies, not because nature designed it that way, but because itdoesn t know that it can t. In the same vein, I believe that people can achieve miraculous things, not because of their genetics, but because they have the self-confidence and inner drive to reach their goals. [Pg.129]

The bumble bee flies because it has never been told that it cannot do so. I think this is a great idea for everyone to adopt in their own lives. Just imagine what humans could do if they had never been told it was impossible ... [Pg.130]

Bees fly like people walk. It is what they do. I don t know if they have to know how it works to be able to do it. I don t know how I walk. Itjust happens. I imagine that it how it is with bees too. [Pg.131]

This is dumb. Bees wouldn t understand it anyway. Bees fly. They want to. Why not What else would they do. I don t get it. Who said this Probly scientist. [Pg.131]

The physician tells the patient the following story (lasting about one minute), which then has to be retold by the patient (also in about one minute) A bee flies to the brook to take a bath and falls into the water. A dove sees the bee and saves it from drowning. The dove lays the bee on a leaf to dry off. The next day, a hunter comes into the wood and takes aim to shoot at the dove. The bee flies at him and stings the hunter s hand so that his shot misfires. It is important to note any incorrect renderings of the plot which are typical of SHE - e.g. the hunter or the dove drown, the dove stings the bee, the hunter shoots the bee, the dove stings the hunter, etc. [Pg.206]

Late spring There s a rapid increase in the brood. The bees fly on fine warm days to gather nectar and pollen from the early blossoms. This is the time to make the removable supers (frames inside the hive that contain chambers where the honey is stored), and fix in place the queen excluder, which prevents the queen from laying eggs in the honey store. [Pg.260]

Annelida Crustacea Hexapoda (segmented (e.g. shrimps, (insects, e.g. worms) crabs, lobsters) bugs, beetles, bees, flies)... [Pg.894]

Venoms causing anaphylaxis or other allergic reactions originate almost exclusively from social Hymenoptera, most often honeybees and vespids (fig. 1) [1], occasionally from bumble bees [2], in America [3] and in Australia [4], also from ants. Stings by other insects like mosquitoes, bedbugs, fleas, horse flies and midges can very rarely also cause systemic allergic reactions. These are however not due to venoms but to... [Pg.141]

Stable in acidic, neutral and basic aqueous solutions Pale yellowish solid, faint characteristic odor Flash point 119°C (Pensky-Martens closed tester) Pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator which acts both as an ovacide and as an inhibitor of development (juvenile hormone mimic) against white flies, scale, and psylla. The specificity of pyriproxyfen, and its low mammalian toxicity, allow for some variation in application timing. For example, the lack of toxicity to bees allows pyriproxyfen to be applied during bloom on apple trees, and its low mammalian toxicity allows for a very short pre-harvest interval on citrus The residue definition is for pyriproxyfen alone... [Pg.1340]

The widespread use of economic poisons has a definite impact on the animal complex on the face of the earth which provides our sustenance. Already we have seen the use of DDT for codling moth control on apples result in a relatively minor pest becoming a serious threat. The same material used as a wonder spray for fly control now fails, after a couple years of common usage, with the appearance of new, resistant strains of flies. Bees and other pollinating insects as well as helpful predators or parasites may be decimated and their important aid be lost by untimely or improper use of most of the newer insecticides. [Pg.15]

Next time you are out in the wild and mosquitoes are hovering around you, stick a sprig of elder behind your ear to ward them off. To ward off flies and gnats, crush elder leaves and rub them over your face or hat. The effect is said to last about an hour and then needs to be repeated. Should you get stung by a bee, remove the stinger and rub the affected area with crushed elder leaves to bring quick relief. Historically, snake bites have also been treated with elderberries or roots infused in wine. [Pg.68]

Moths, beetles, flies, and cockroaches have received the most attention regarding pheromone biosynthesis because their members contain prominent pest species and in addition are typically easy to rear in the laboratory. However several other insects have been investigated regarding pheromone biosynthesis, most notably the bees and butterflies. [Pg.117]

One significant threat to the fringed orchid s survival is loss of suitable habitat as tallgrass is plowed under and the prairie is transformed for farming or development. Another, less obvious, threat derives from the fringed orchid s means of pollination. Despite their lovely flowers and delicate scent, the plants seem to go unnoticed all through a summer s day. No hungry bees or flies... [Pg.55]

Spring beauty Apple, pear, and plum trees and their ornamental relatives In the genera Malus, Pyrus, and Prunus are some of the first trees to blossom In spring, usually flowering In profusion. This provides a welcome treat not only for the gardener, but also for hungry flying Insects such as bees that have ventured out early In the year. [Pg.154]

Arylsulfenylated methylcarbamates also may have other interesting types of selectivity. An example is given in the honey bee and house fly toxicity data in Table II for several derivatives of propoxur (13). Propoxur and most of the derivatives were highly toxic to the honey bee in fact, compounds 10-15 were substantially more toxic to the honey bee than to the house fly (also see Table I). The order of toxicity, however, was reversed with the 4-jt-butylphenyl analog (16) and the 2-methyl-4- t-butylphenyl analog (17) was virtually nontoxic to the honey bee, although it was still effective against the house fly. [Pg.38]
