This book was released on 2019-01-27 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Use of Pollen Traps and Pollen Supplements in Developing Honeybee Colonies The bees usually require several days to become accustomed to the trap. The pollen trapped during the first week will be below normal, thus making it desirable to leave the traps on the same hives rather than shifting them to different hives in the apiary. Colonies equipped with pollen traps will rear some brood but brood rearing will be curtailed. They may be given combs of pollen from other colonies to keep up their production, but good colonies at the beginning of the season will survive and may produce some honey. They can be united at the end of the season. Figure 6 shows a pollen tray, about two-thirds full of pollen, re moved from the trap. The pollen should be removed every 2 or 3 days under ordinary conditions and more often when the humidity is high or when the pollen is unusually moist. The pollen should be Spread out to a depth of to inch for air drying. To prevent molding, moist pollen can be dried rapidly in an improvised oven heated with electric light bulbs The oven may be constructed from a large fiber carton equipped with a rack to support five or six trays which consist of wooden rims covered with cheesecloth. The pollen should be Spread in a thin layer on the trays to allow the warm air which is generated at the bottom to pass through each tray and escape from an Opening in the top of the oven.

This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Behavior of the Honey Bee in Pollen Collecting Although, as above noted, some unbranched hairs are located upon the body of the bee, they occur in greatest numbers upon the more distal segments of the appendages. They are quite diverse in form, some being extremely long and slender, such as those which curve over the pollen baskets, others being stout and stifl', as those which form the collecting brushes and the pecten spines. The mouth parts Of the bee are also essential to the proper col lection of pollen. T h e mandibles are used to scrape over the anthers Of flowers, and considerable pollen adheres to them and is later removed. The same is true of the maxillae and tongue. From the mouth comes the fluid by which the pollen grains are moistened. The legs Of the worker bee are especially adapted for pollen gath ering. Each leg bears a collecting brush, composed Of stiff, un branched hairs set closely together. These brushes are located upon the first or most proximal tarsal segment of the legs, known techni cally as the palmae of the forelegs and as the plantae of the middle and hind pair. The brush of the foreleg is elongated and of Slight width (fig. That of the middle leg broad and flat (fig. While the brush upon the planta of the hind leg is the broadest of all, and is also the most highly Specialized. In addition to these well-marked brushes, the distal ends Of the tibiae of the fore and middle legs bear many stiff hairs, which function as pollen collectors, and the distal tarsal joints Of all legs bear similar structures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honey and Pollen Plants of the United States There are probably few places where some surplus honey cannot be obtained if the bees are properly managed. Greater profit might result if beekeepers gave more attention to the honey flow in the vicinity of their apiaries, since locations only a few miles apart have been found to produce honey crops varying considerably in size. The value of a new location may be determined by placing a few colonies there and observing the results for 2 or 3 years.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Treatise on the Hive and Honey-Bee Each comb in this hive is attached to a separate movable frame, and by following the directions given in this Treatise, they may be all taken out in a few minutes, without cutting or injuring them in the least, or at all enraging the bees. By this arrangement, Weak stocks may be easily strengthen ed, by helping them to combs, honey, or maturing brood taken from strong ones, and queenless colonies saved from certain ruin, by giving them the means of obtaining another queen. As all the stocks in the Apiary, by the control of the combs, can be kept strong in numbers and in possession of a fertile queen, the ravages of the bee-moth may be effectually prevented. If the bee-keeper suspects that anything is the matter with a. Hive, he can open it, and by actual examination of its combs, ascertain, in a few minutes, its true condition, and thus apply intelligently the remedies which it needs. New colonies may be formed in less time than is usually required for hiving natural swarms; or the hive may be managed on the common swarming plan, or enlarged, (with out any alteration. Of existing parts, ) so as to afford ample ac commodation for a non-swarming stock. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Pollen Traps as a Beekeeping Integrated Pest Management Tool Their Use in IPM for Varroa Mite Control and for Reducing the Impact of Microencapsulated Pesticides on Honey Bee Colonies written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies were equipped with pollen traps obtained from the CC pollen company. One set of studies compared bee deaths and pesticide residues in pollen trap-treated colonies with untreated control colonies placed near agricultural fields that were sprayed with microencapsulated methyl parathion (Penncap-M®). A second set of studies examined the effect of the pollen traps on varroa mite (Varroa destructor) populations compared with mite populations in control colonies that were treated with the labeled chemical treatment for varroa mites. Pesticide Studies: The pesticide studies were in response to the problem of bee deaths due to poisoning by microencapsulated methyl parathion. The microcapsules are in the size range of pollen grains and poisoning became a problem in fruit orchards where the pesticide drifted onto blooming ground cover where it was accidentally collected along with pollen by foraging honey bees. The studies showed that the microencapsulated pesticide persisted on orchard ground cover (clover) for several days after the pesticide was sprayed. The pesticide was also in the pollen loads that were removed from foragers by the pollen traps, and in the bees that were dying as a result of the pesticide spray. The presence of the pollen traps did not significantly reduce bee deaths or pesticide residues in the treated colonies. The pesticide studies also showed that under drought conditions, blooming orchard ground cover plants such as clover may be sufficiently unattractive to foraging honey bees to prevent the expected pesticide poisoning that would normally occur after a Penncap-M® spray. In such cases drought may be an IPM tool for managing bee colonies in some potentially dangerous agricultural settings. Varroa mite studies: The varroa mite studies were in response to the enormous problem of the varroa mite parasite which, over the past twelve years, has killed virtually all feral honey bee colonies and reduced the nu.
