Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Busy Hives Around Us It is so customary to associate cramped space with town, that visitors are not at all prepared to wander over acres in one Of these establishments. Like the agriculturist, the princes of London trade tell their ground by acres; only the one metes his rent by the same rate, the other by the foot. If the highly interesting personages with whom we began, are interested enough to seek one of these houses as a type, they will suffer their thoughts to send them forward, till on the left hand of Cheapside there is met with a lonely relic of living wood, still called, from veneration for age, a tree. It is the verdant decoration, for three weeks in the year, of Wood Street. Let our adventurous friends wonder, as they turn down, whether it gave the street its name. Again to the right, with Morley's great hosiery house on one side, and Pickford's mighty waggon-yards on the other; Swan with two Necks passed; Aldermanbury is reached and, in it, a high, new-fronted edifice will furnish every requisite for a picture of a London house, and at the same time be an exponent of the staple manufacture of the age. Of course we mean cotton. It needs a visit to Manchester to see the loom, and a visit to Man chester or Glasgow to see it printed. How it is disposed of eventually we can learn here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Bee-Keeping From the very earliest historic times, the Hive Bee has been cultivated by man for the sake Of the delicious honey and useful wax that it produces, as well as studied for the manifold lessons it furnishes in industry and physiology. The busy merchant, when wanting a symbol for his house, could find no better sign than the Bee-hive. How common the axiom, A very Hive Of industry. The poet and the moralist fails not to quote our little friend as an example to the young; and the beautiful hymn Of Dr. Watts, 'the Little Busy Bee, ' can never be forgotten as a memory of our early days, and in ages to come will be taught to our children's children with the same loving wish Of a good result as was hoped for us.

Download or read book The Spirit of the Hive written by Robert E. Page Jr. and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Darwin struggled to explain how forty thousand bees working in the dark, seemingly by instinct alone, could organize themselves to construct something as perfect as a honey comb. How do bees accomplish such incredible tasks? Synthesizing the findings of decades of experiments, The Spirit of the Hive presents a comprehensive picture of the genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the division of labor in honey bee colonies and explains how bees’ complex social behavior has evolved over millions of years. Robert Page, one of the foremost honey bee geneticists in the world, sheds light on how the coordinated activity of hives arises naturally when worker bees respond to stimuli in their environment. The actions they take in turn alter the environment and so change the stimuli for their nestmates. For example, a bee detecting ample stores of pollen in the hive is inhibited from foraging for more, whereas detecting the presence of hungry young larvae will stimulate pollen gathering. Division of labor, Page shows, is an inevitable product of group living, because individual bees vary genetically and physiologically in their sensitivities to stimuli and have different probabilities of encountering and responding to them. A fascinating window into self-organizing regulatory networks of honey bees, The Spirit of the Hive applies genomics, evolution, and behavior to elucidate the details of social structure and advance our understanding of complex adaptive systems in nature.
