Habits of Bees & Wasps
• Bees
– Social bees • Perennial colony (honey bee)
• Annual colony (bumble bee)
– Solitary bees (leafcutter bees, digger bees)
• Wasps
– Social wasps (yellowjackets, hornets, paper wasps)
– Solitary wasps (hunting wasps, parasitic wasps)

Wax flakes are produced
by special glands of the
thorax, then are molded
into comb

Honey bee colonies have
specialized castes that
include a queen (fertile
female), drones (males)
and numerous workers
(infertile females)

Honey Bees
produce a perennial
nest
![Page 12: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Honey bees – and most
bees – collect nectar as
their primary energy
source.
![Page 13: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Frame Filled With Honey
![Page 14: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
One 8 fl oz “honey bear”
is the result of:
ca. 1,000,000 flower visits
-The efforts of 570 honey
bees making a total of
14,400 foraging trips
![Page 15: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Honey bees – and
most bees – use pollen
as their primary source
for proteins, fats and
most other nutrients
![Page 16: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Honey Bees Carry
Pollen in a Pollen
Basket on the Legs
![Page 17: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Individual foraging
honey bees are
‘flower constant’
![Page 18: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

The Bee “Dance
Language”
Communication of distance and
direction through hive dancing
Karl von Frisch
![Page 20: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Round Dance – Short
distance to food
source (within 100 m)
Waggle Dance –
Communicates
sources beyond 100
meters of the hive
![Page 21: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The waggle dance is
performed on the vertical
comb. Its orientation is
related to the angle of the
sun to the hive entrance.
![Page 22: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The intensity (no. waggles/time) of the waggle
dance indicates distance of the source
![Page 23: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Bee Dance Language • Direction
–Orientation of the dance on the surface of the comb
• Distance –Number of “waggles”/ intensity of
dance
• Chemical cues –Floral compounds for final host
location
![Page 24: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Honey Bees
Produce a Perennial
Nest
![Page 25: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Honey Bee Colonies
Produce Swarms
This may be thought of as
a type of budding as a
means for the colony – a
superorganism – to
reproduce.

![Page 38: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Honey Bee –
Flowering Plant
Evaluation
• Evaluate the relative use of flowering
plants by honey bees (and other
bees) in Colorado
• Identify plants heavily used by honey
bees
• Identify plants not visited/used by
honey bees
![Page 39: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Top honey bee-visited
plants include: most
Sedums, most thistles,
catmint, Gaillardia, most
Agastache, Blue mist spirea,
Russian sage, fruit trees,
lindens, goldenrain tree ……..
![Page 40: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Africanized bee – Apis mellifera scutellaris
![Page 41: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Africanized Bees are:
• A strain of the honey bee (Apis
mellifera var. scutellaris)
• More likely to sting when the
colony is disturbed
• More likely to produce swarms
![Page 42: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
![Page 43: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Africanized Bees are not:
• Substantially different in appearance from other honey bees
• More poisonous per sting than other honey bees
• Well adapted to areas where there are long, cold winters
![Page 44: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Diseases of Honey Bees Include:
• European foulbrood (bacteria)
• Nosema (protozoan)
• Tracheal mite
• Varroa mite
![Page 45: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Tracheal mites infest the tracheae of the honey
bee. This inhibits the insect’s ability to move
oxygen.
![Page 46: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Varroa mite transferred
from an Asian giant bee
(Apis cerana) to honey
bee in the past few
decades.
The worst day in
the history of the
honey bee

European Paper Wasp
vs.Western Yellowjacket
• Predator of insects, primarily
• Produces open nests above ground
• Less likely to sting than most social wasps/bees
• Not attracted to wasp traps
• Scavenger. Commonly visits food and garbage.
• Produces below-ground or hidden nest
• Readily stings when nest disturbed
• Attracted to wasp traps

Hunting Wasp Habits
• Solitary wasps – no colony structure
• Young are fed paralyzed prey
• Nests are produced to rear young – Dug in soil, plant stems
– Constructed of mud
– Existing cavities
• Adults can sting, but are not aggressive – Sting of hunting wasps (Sphecidae) are mild
– Sting of spider wasps (Pomplilidae) are very painful

Parasitic Wasps
Ichneumonidae, Braconidae,
Eulophidae, Trichogrammatidae,
Encrytidae, Chalcidae and other families
![Page 264: A Review of Colorado Bees and Wasps](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051522/589ef1951a28aba44d8b8f9d/html5/thumbnails/264.jpg)
Characteristics of
Parasitic Wasps
• Larvae develop in, rarely on, their hosts
– One or more larvae develop in a single host
• They are invariably lethal to the host
– “parasitoids”
• Adults often have different food needs
– Nectar, honeydew
– Pollen
– Insect blood feeding may occur
