Hive, making

Hives are annoying because of their success. Only 2% of insect species form hives, but all hive-makers weigh as much as the other 98%. The most complex hive-making species exhibit obligatory eusociality their genes encode physically different levels, or castes, each with a specialized job, led by a queen that reproduces for the entire hive. The physical hive itself is easy to see, but the true innovation is the network of life protected inside. The hive acts as a skull for the hive mind. [Pg.237]

Codeine, also known as methylmorpliine, C H2 NOt H20, is a colorless white crystalline substance, mp 154.9 C, slightly soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and chloroform, effloresces slowly in dry air. Codeine is derived from opium by extraction or by the methylation of morphine. For medical use, codeine is usually offered as the dichlotide, phosphate, or sulfate. Codeine is habit forming. Codeine is known to exacerbate urticaria (familiarly known as hives). Since codeine is incorporated in numerous prescription medicines for headache, heartburn, fatigue, coughing, and relief of aches and pains, persons with a history of urticaria should make this fact known to their physician. Codeine is sometimes used ill cases of acute pericarditis to relieve severe chest pains in early phases of disease. Codeine is sometimes used in drug therapy of renal (kidney) diseases. [Pg.50]

The U.S. Center for Disease Control conducted a door-to-door survey of some 300 homes asking about effects and examined physicians records. The survey "did not produce any evidence of toxic illness or severe health effects." However, the survey did show a slight increased incidence of headaches and skin rashes, but the conclusion was that it was "unlikely they were chemically caused." One man found to have heavy metal poisoning worked in a foundry and one of the children of the woman making the original complaint was found to have hives. [Pg.43]

Honeybees make lipids that they use to form the honeycomb structure of their hive. The walls of the honeycomb are made of a mixture of lipids known as beeswax. ... [Pg.684]

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]

Honeybees are a type of insect that lives in hives. Hives are big colonies where bees live and work, make honey, and build a home for new bees to be born. Worker bees build the new home, or honeycomb, where the queen honeybee lays her eggs. Worker bees produce a waxy substance that allows them to create hundreds of six-sided cells. When put together, these cells make a giant honeycomb. New bees are born in the honeycomb. Nectar from flowers is turned into honey and stored in the honeycomb. Honey made in honeycombs is sweet to taste and smell. [Pg.108]

The bee visits flowers in search of nectar and pollen, or visit trees for harvesting resin to make propolis. The propolis is used as glue and caulk to seal cracks in the hive. Bees also collect honeydew secreted by insects of the family Aphididae. [Pg.6]

I get hives from alcohol. The regular infusion muse remembers it, but if there s a new one, I make sure the new nmse doesn t swab me down with... [Pg.293]

Beeswax. The worker bees of the hive secrete wax through glands on the sides of their bodies. In the colony, this wax is used to make comb, which is the base for building up hexagonally shaped cells. After... [Pg.80]

Just as music must be like a hive of bees, with each note that strains to go its own way gently held to a thriving plan, a great empire depends for its driving force upon the elements that will eventually tear it apart. So with a city, which if it is to make its mark must be spirited,... [Pg.237]

Sometimes adjustable centers or idlers cannot be provided. Then the designer must calculate and specify an exact center distance. The designer should make a conservative selection (overchain the (hive somewhat) and specify type B or type C lubrication to minimize wear. [Pg.134]
