Tests were conducted during the first and second halves of the scotophase to determine whether time of peak responsiveness differs for honey and human volatiles.
According to this information, four single-storey honey bee hives were established in the honey bee experiment, each single-storey containing around 6000 bees.
The efficiency of honey bees and alfalfa leafcutting bees as pollinators in soybean has been described with contrasting results.
In the honey bee plots, foraging activity was also observed in the north end of the plots.
The parasitoid was provided with a droplet of honey as food source.
In early tests, controls for honey consisted of crumpled paper towel containing syrupy, saturated sucrose solution.
The difference in body size according to day of emergence appeared not to affect the proportions responding to honey (table 2).
Large-bodied males and females responded to honey in greater numbers than small-bodied ones.
After a period of honey time, she began to fling herself into preparation for the examination for entrance to graduate study.
In the experiment, mated females were each introduced in a vial containing agar with a 20% honey/water solution.
One mated female parasitoid was introduced into each vial and fed with a drop of honey deposited on the mesh window of the cap.
Females provided only with honey also failed to produce mature eggs.
Yeast and albumin were incorporated into honey in a 1:1 ratio.
Emerging insects were provided with water-soaked cotton wool, honey droplets, and a yeast/sugar diet.
Ten percent honey solution was provided as food for adult parasitoids unless otherwise specified.
They were provided with a small piece of absorbent cotton that had been immersed in 5% honey solution.
After 5 days of sugar access and maturation, males continued to prefer honey volatiles, whereas females changed behaviour, responding almost exclusively to human volatiles.
In the neotropics, however, the climatic conditions were not suitable for this species and so the possibilities for producing honey were limited.
The modification of the chemical signature of newly emergent honey bees may have, in turn, consequences on the social organization of the colony.
Consequently, the simultaneous presence of the 2 species in the honey bee colony could be regarded as a mixed artificial colony.
Thus, the newly emerged parasitized honey bee is physiologically and morphologically affected.
Wild bees enhance honey bees' pollination of hybrid sunflower.
The way the supplements were incorporated into the honey may also explain the lack of oogenesis in females provided with additional food.
Parasitoids used in longevity and mating success experiments were isolated to prevent mating before the experiments, and fed with drops of pure honey.
The honey-water was refreshed every 2-3 days (as needed).
The comparison of responses to honey and human during early and late scotophase revealed no strong temporal bias for either behaviour.
The mesh size of the gauze allowed parasitoids to pass through and feed on the honey, while excluding the larger bruchids.
Addition of vials with honey had no direct effect on the bruchid population or on the parasitoid progeny.
The honey bees were able to maintain the colony and produced an excess of honey (from 2 to 3 frames).
Environmental conditions were observed to strongly influence the honey bee efficiency as pollinator and seed-set varied considerably from year to year.
Both the honey and the cotton sticks were replenished at weekly intervals and care was taken to keep cotton sticks wet.
Emerged parasitoids were provided with water and spun honey in cages (25 x 25 x 25 cm).
The adults were fed with 10% honey solution upon emergence.
The proportions of these hydrocarbons increased in extracts of parasitized honey bees.
The olfactory system of honey bees is very sensitive to hydrocarbon compounds.
