Queen bee

Pheromones are commonly called sex attractants, although they have other signaling functions, too. A pheromone of the queen bee is tra s-CH3CO(CH2)5CH=CHCOOH. [Pg.900]

Gengva l Examp Ig Queen substance C 5) is a hormone produced by a queen bee to prevent the worker bees ovaries maturing and to train them to serve her. [Pg.162]

Great Except we still haven t got the photos of the Heresy show, Queen Bee s pretty shitty about that. I had a sexy dream about you last night. Your hand was up me then I woke up and I was alone. I felt awful. I d like to eat your cunt right now. [Pg.174]

On the other hand, furosine is suitable to assess the quality and freshness of royal jelly, the essential food for the larvae of queen bees, secreted by nurse worker bees 42 Commercial royal jelly gave contents of 37-113 mg per 100 g, whereas samples of known origin averaged 42 mg per 100 g. A sample with 72 mg per 100 g when stored at 4 °C or room temperature for 10 months reached 100 and 501 mg per 100 g, respectively. The latter represents blockage of only 12% of lysine residues. [Pg.11]

Queen substance (secreted by the queen bee to prevent development of other queens)... [Pg.499]

This reaction provides a useful way of introducing a double bond next to a carbonyl group. Here it is in a synthesis by Barry Trost of the Queen Bee Substance (the compound fed by the workers to those bee larvae destined to become queens). The compound is also a pheromone of the termite and is used to trap these destructive pests. Trost started with the monoester of a dicarboxylic acid, which he converted to a methyl ketone by reacting the acyl chloride with a cuprate. The ketone was then protected as a dioxolane derivative to prevent it enolizing, and the sulfur was introduced by reacting the enolate of the ester with the sulfur electrophile MeSSMe. [Pg.1269]

Next, the protecting group was removed with acid, and the sulfide was oxidized to the sulfoxide with sodium periodate (NaI04) ready for elimination. Heating to 110°C then gave the Queen Bee Substance in 86% yield. [Pg.1269]

In addition to spearheading, along with Smedley, the admission of women to the Chemical Society and co-founding the Women s Dining Club of the Chemical Society, Whiteley was President of the Imperial College Women Students Association from the organisation s inception in 1912. The women students of the time referred to her as the Queen Bee. 03... [Pg.123]

I lay back, sated as a queen bee, but Aislabie never stayed in one place for long, even the queen s bed. As he scrambled back into his clothes, he said, We must keep this room. Imagine the fun we could have with it. ... [Pg.81]

Based on this method, simple and efficient syntheses of prmtaglandin intomediates, Queen bee substance, zearalenone, dihydtojasmone, jasmone, diplodialide B, lasiodiplodin methyl ether, ... [Pg.454]

Primer pheromones, which cause long-term behavioral changes, are harder to isolate and identify. One example, however, is the queen substance produced by queen honeybees. All the eggs in a colony are laid by one queen bee. If she is removed from the hive or dies, the worker bees are activated by the absence of the queen substance and begin to feed royal jelly to bee larvae to raise a new queen. The queen substance also prevents the development... [Pg.637]

Life Cycle Bees live in social colonies numbering up to 20,000. Queen bees lay eggs in wax cells in hives workers feed and care... [Pg.296]

Behind her broad polished desk, Matilda was a queen bee with a legion of office drones lined up at her door. [Pg.167]

Pantothenic Acid. (R)-V-r2>4-Dihydroxy-3,3-di-methyl-l-oxobutyll-B -alanine D(+)-/V-(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethy1butyryl)-d-alanine chick antidermatitis factor.

The richest common source is liver, but jelly of the queen bee contains 6 times as much as liver. Rice bran and molasses are other good sources. Isoln from liver R. J. Williams ei at, J. Am. [Pg.1110]

Early spring The queen bee starts to lay eggs in February. The honey stores in the hive will be running low after the winter because—despite the emergence of spring flowers—nectar and pollen are in very short supply. Fill the bees feeder with sugar syrup, if necessary, to supplement the natural nectar around. [Pg.260]

The queen bee secretes a chemical that prevents the worker bees from raising a competitive sovereign. [Pg.388]
