Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is an optimization technique that simulates the foraging behavior of honey bees, and has been successfully applied to various practical problems [citation needed]. ABC belongs to the group of swarm intelligence algorithms and was proposed by Karaboga in 2005. A set of honey bees, called swarm, can ...
Tiffany Ahmu and her family's dog, Kona, died at age 12 after a swarm of bees attacked them during a pool day As he tended to the children, Ahmu realized that someone was still stuck outside ...
A flock of aukletsexhibit swarm behaviour. Swarm behaviour, or swarming, is a collective behaviourexhibited by entities, particularly animals, of similar size which aggregate together, perhaps milling about the same spot or perhaps moving en masseor migratingin some direction. It is a highly interdisciplinary topic.
Alarm pheromone. Two main alarm pheromones have been identified in honeybee workers. One is released by the Koschevnikov gland, near the sting shaft, and consists of more than 40 chemical compounds, including isopentyl acetate (IPA), butyl acetate, 1-hexanol, n -butanol, 1-octanol, hexyl acetate, octyl acetate, n -pentyl acetate and 2-nonanol.
August 8, 2024 at 6:40 PM. One dog was killed and three people were hospitalized in a San Diego suburb after a swarm of bees attacked a backyard gathering Wednesday. Tiffany Ahmu told FOX ...
Apis mellifica mellifica silvarum Goetze, 1964 (Unav.) The western honey bee or European honey bee ( Apis mellifera) is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bees worldwide. [ 3][ 4] The genus name Apis is Latin for 'bee', and mellifera is the Latin for 'honey-bearing' or 'honey-carrying', referring to the species' production of honey ...
Stingless bee. Stingless bees (SB), sometimes called stingless honey bees or simply meliponines, are a large group of bees (from about 462 to 552 described species), [ 1][ 2] comprising the tribe Meliponini[ 3][ 4] (or subtribe Meliponina according to other authors). [ 5] They belong in the family Apidae ( subfamily Apinae ), and are closely ...
Apiformes (from Latin 'apis' ) Bees are winged insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their roles in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the western honey bee, for producing honey. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea. They are currently considered a clade, called Anthophila. [ 1 ]
