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... 

Fig. 2. Species of Hymenoptera responsible for systemic allergic reactions (a) honey bee A. mellif-era), (b) bumble bee (Bombus spp.j, (c) wasp, in the USA yellow jacket (Vespula spp.j, (d) European paper wasp (P. gallicus), (e) European hornet (V. crabro), and (f) Australian jack jumper ant (M. pilo-sula) [by courtesy of Dr. S.G. Brown, Perth, Australia]. 

Bumble bee venom contains also a phospholipase A2 with partial identity to bee venom phospholipase Aj and a protease, but no melittin. Instead there are several small peptides called bombolitins [9]. There is limited cross-reactivity between honey bee and bumblebee venoms [2].

Allergic reactions (eg, bronchospasm, urticaria, pruritus, angioneurotic edema, or swelling of the lips, eyelids, tongue, and nasal mucosa) due to anaphylactic shock caused by stinging insects (primarily of the order Hymenoptera, that includes bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, bumble...

I went to see Flubber. I had to. How could I not go and see a movie about a chemistry professor I was worried, however, that it might be a painful experience, since moviemakers seem bent on portraying chemists as absentminded, bumbling nincompoops. My fears were well founded, but this professor, played by Robin Williams, wasn t absentminded — he was...

Though the play is set in Italy, Jonson has already satirized London Puritanism. In the last sequence, he prepares us for the English tourist Sir Politic Would-be. Sir Pol suggests the poll parrot, and the English fools are bumbling and ineffectual mimics of the fools of the main plot. Lady Pol is a burlesque of the three birds of prey. 

Aminocarb. Next to fenitrothion, aminocarb has been the insecticide used most extensively in forestry in Canada over the past decade. Application rates of up to 0.175 kg/ha have been found to have little or no impact on forest songbird populations or small mammal breeding activity, but do cause considerable knockdown of terrestrial arthropods, particularly at higher application rates (35, 36). Short-lived but fairly extensive honeybee mortality has been documented when aminocarb has been applied while active foraging was underway, but the overall colony vigor was not seriously effected (37 ). Aminocarb does not appear to cause bumble bee mortality at operational application rates, but does affect solitary bees ( 18).

The cafe sizzled as the men entered. They were notorious, if nothing else, and the leader was the Earl of Bumble. Every one seemed to scent some mischief in the air. The earl came up to the table next to mine, and stopped deliberately short. A sneer passed across his lips. He pointed to the two men. 

He slipped out like a cat. Before Bumble could bring down his cane, the old man had dived under his guard and taken the lunatic by the throat. 

Bumble had made no attempt to get up. He lay there whimpering. I raised my eyes from so disgusting a sight, and found them fixed by two enormous orbs. 

Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn t be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn t know it, so it goes on flying anyway. —Mary Kay Ash... 

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 ... 

While I think this is a wonderful thing for bumble bees, I don t see how it applies to human beings at all. Animals often can do things that scientists do not understand but it is not because they are determined or anything like that. As animals, they are not capable of higher thinking like that. Only humans have that ability. 

Bumble bees are pretty neat insects. I am not surprised to find out that they are not supposed to be able to fly, but they still do. They seem like determened creaturesto me. I think that the quote is basically saying that you can do anything you want if I want to enough. That is a nice idea and I hope that it is true. 

Bumble and Honig (I) have discussed the HB procedure as applied to gas adsorption and the approximations inherent in the model used below. Honig (6) gives additional background information, where the Fowler-Guggenheim isotherm equation is derived in an elementary fashion. 

To determine the above-mentioned unknowns it is necessary to impose the equilibrium condition that the entropy of the system be a maximum consistent with all constraints placed on the system. As shown by Bumble and Honig (I), this leads to the result... 

To aid in the second step involving successive approximations it is convenient to linearize Equations 11 to 15, using the method outlined by Bumble and Honig (I). In essence, one rewrites each p as Ap (m) + where the... 

The occurrence of loops in the isotherms indicates the existence of two-dimensional condensation. This phenomenon sets in for a critical value C0 which is greater than that encountered by Bumble and Honig (2)—i.e., to achieve two-dimensional condensation the lateral interactions must be stronger than those required in (1). Again, this is believed to be primarily due to the difference in Z values for the two cases.
