Bees that establish a hive in a home can be a problem because of increased hazard of humans being stung. Trash bins and recycling centers may also encourage robbing honey bees. Honey bees typically search for flowers containing nectar and pollen for food. However, they are very opportunistic, and will seek syrups, sugar, fruit juices, and other sweet substances within easy access when flowers are not available. During the summer and fall when flowers are less numerous, robber honey bees and wasps can be very serious pests in places such as around trash containers and aluminum can recycling centers. Proper sanitation is the key to control of these problems.

T HE X ERCES S OCIETY General Information Pollinator Publications Agriculture Gardening ... Xerces Society Home Biology and Life Cycles of Native Bees Scroll down for more information, or select one of the following bees: Solitary bees Bumble bees Cuckoo bees How many bees are there? There is an astonishing diversity of native bees across the USA. About 4,000 species have been identified and catalogued, ranging in length from less than one eighth of an inch to more than one inch. They vary in color from dark brown or black to metallic green or blue, and may have stripes of red, white, orange, or yellow. Many common names reflect the way they build nests: plasterer bees, leafcutter bees, mason bees, carder bees, digger bees, and carpenter bees. Others are named after particular traits, such as cuckoo bees that lay eggs in the nests of other bee species (like the cuckoo bird), sweat bees that like to drink salty perspiration, or bumble bees, who got their name from the loud humming noise they make while flying. Since most don't fit the stereotyped image of a bee (black-and-yellow-striped, living in a hive, and apt to sting) they are easily overlooked. Out of sight, out of mind they gently get on with foraging, and in doing so provide the vital ecosystem service of pollination.

DesertUSA Quick Links Home Animals Community Deserts ... Reservations General Info. About DUSA Advertising Contact Us Killer Bees Africanized Honey Bees Africanized Honey Bees (AHB) also called Africanized bees or killer bees are descendants of southern African bees imported in 1956 by Brazilian scientists attempting to breed a honey bee better adapted to the South American tropics. When some of these bees escaped quarantine in 1957, they began breeding with local Brazilian honey bees, quickly multiplying and extended their range throughout South and Central America at a rate greater than 200 miles per year. In the past decade, AHB began invading North America. Africanized bees acquired the name killer bees because they will viciously attack people and animals who unwittingly stray into their territory, often resulting in serious injury or death. It is not necessary to disturb the hive itself to initiate an AHB attack. In fact, Africanized bees have been know to respond viciously to mundane occurrences, including noises or even vibrations from vehicles, equipment and pedestrians. Though their venom is no more potent than native honey bees, Africanized bees attack in far greater numbers and pursue perceived enemies for greater distances. Once disturbed, colonies may remain agitated for 24 hours, attacking people and animals within a range of a quarter mile from the hive.

49. The Buzz On Worker Bees A tip of the Worker bees cap to our partner, Michael Courtney Design, for beautifully Worker bees Inc. 500 Aurora Avenue North - Suite 105 - Seattle, http://www.workerbees.com/

@import url("http://www.blogger.com/css/blog_controls.css"); @import url("http://www.blogger.com/dyn-css/authorization.css?targetBlogID=15424039"); The buzz on Worker Bees A "welcome" alternative to advertising When you've got about 50,000 cars a day driving by the place you're marketing just on one street alone, why not lay out a welcome mat for those road-weary travelers? That was the idea behind a series of three large, mostly permanent banners we developed for Vulcan Real Estate to tout the sustainable lifestyles and building practices going on in South Lake Union. Other messages on the high-visibility banners include: "Other neighborhoods are just as green. But only with envy." and "Hey, you in the hybrid. We (heart) you." Kudos to DEI for their design efforts. Labels: Collateral Environmental Where did the gorgeous, wine-drinking couple go? Ads for urban condos are supposed to look a certain way, right? Sure, if you want your ad to look like all the others. That was the problem astutely recognized by Vulcan Real Estate when they asked for some new print ads to promote interest in their Rollin Street Flats project in Seattle's South Lake Union. Our answer: forget the usual visual cliches. In fact, forget the visuals altogether, and create some honest, slightly tongue-in-cheek announcements to the condo-shopping populace. By their absence of hip images, we suspect these ads are hipper still. You can click on the image to read the copy, and you can tip your hat to

Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet Department of Entomology 1991 Kenny Road, Columbus, Ohio 43210 Carpenter Bees HYG-2074-06 Susan C. Jones Associate Professor, Entomology; Extension Specialist, Household and Structural Pests Carpenter bees are so named because they excavate galleries in wood to create nest sites. They do not consume wood. Rather, they feed on pollen and nectar. Carpenter bees are important pollinators of flowers and trees. Carpenter bees typically are just nuisance pests that cause cosmetic rather than structural damage to wood. Nonetheless, considerable wood damage can result from many generations of carpenter bees enlarging existing galleries in wood. Large carpenter bees belong to the genus Xylocopa. Two native species, Xylocopa virginica and Xylocopa micans , occur in the eastern United States. There also are a number of native carpenter bees in the western United States. This fact sheet primarily pertains to X. virginica, which has the common name of carpenter bee. Figure 1. Carpenter bee. (Courtesy of Kansas State University.)

E-mail this Print this Advanced search Home ... Albert Einstein > Einstein on Bees Einstein on Bees Claim: Albert Einstein predicted that if something eliminated bees from our planet, mankind would soon perish. Status: Undetermined. Examples: [Higgins, 2002] Berry stuck up a quotation attributed to Albert Einstein: "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left." Origins: One tried-and-true method for getting people to pay attention to words is to put them into the mouth of a well-known, respected figure whom the public perceives as being an expert in the subject at hand. To make a point about whether our current political leaders are taking us down the right path, dig up an analogous quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln . Or, to comment on the nature of war (e.g., when it should be fought, how it should be fought, or the consequences of fighting it), find a relevent example credited to Robert E. Lee or George S. Patton. Thus is it that recent concerns over a significant and mysterious decline in the population of pollinating honeybees (a phenomenon attributed to everything from global warming to insecticides to radiation from cell phone towers, and now thought to be the result of a fungus) have seen a resurgence in repetitions of a quote attributed to Albert Einstein, citations claiming the noted scientist once said "If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live."

People may be frightened by carpenter bees because of their large size, their similarity to bumble bees, and their annoying noise. IDENTIFICATION Most carpenter bees, Xylocopa spp., are large and robust insects resembling bumble bees. They are usually about 1 inch long and colored a metallic blue-black with green or purplish reflections. They differ from bumble bees in that their abdomen is shiny with fringes of hairs on some segments.
