Entomology - Removing bee stings - English

Conventional advice on immediate treatment of honey bee stings has emphasized that the sting should be scraped off, never pinched. The morphology of the sting suggested no basis for this, and such advice is likely to slow down removal of the sting.

Behavior Characteristics of the Africanized Bees, <i>Apis mellifera scutellata</i> - English
URL: http://www.earthlife.net/insects/afr-bees.html

Easily agitated, Africanized honey bees are ferocious defenders of their nests, responding to colony disturbances with violent, threatening behavior. With five times as many guards in their nests as European honey bees, a disturbance alarm is quickly communicated throughout the nest. Approximately half the population pours out of the hive at a rate three times greater than European honey bees. The object of the disturbance is beset with intensely stinging bees which results in eight to ten times more stinging than European honey bees. Once incited, Africanized bees stay agitated for several hours and can attack a source of movement with little provocation. This can result in the death of humans and livestock. High temperature and humidity can increase agitation.

Survival of Honey Bees, Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae), Fed Various Pollen Sources - English
URL: http://gears.tucson.ars.ag.gov/publ/survival.html

Twenty-five pure pollens plus several blends of pollen were fed as sole protein sources to honey bees, Apis mellifera L., and resultant survival of bees on these diets was measured. Average increase in mean life span of bees on a pollen diet versus sugar water controls was 19.5 d, with a range from 3.9 d less than the controls for Ambrosia to 40.6 d longer, for a five-pollen blend. Actual consumption of test pollen diets also varied dramatically among test pollens, with a mean consumption of 16.5 mg pollen per bee for the first 10 d and a range of 1.9-29.0 mg per bee. Pollens that induced decreased life span included Ambrosia, Uromyces (a rust spore), Typha, and Kallstroemia; those that induced little increase in life span included Haplopappus, Baccharis, and Taraxacum; and those that induced the greatest increase in life span included Ephedra, Prosopis, Rubus, Populus, and two blends of pollen.
