  • Drone Engorgement in Honey Bee Swarms

    Creator:
    Burgett, D. Michael
    Abstract:
    Male Apis mellifera L. (drones) accompanying reproductive swarms were analyzed for honey stomach contents to determine if they engorge honey prior to or during swarming. No evidence for engorgement was found. A diurnal feeding rhythm in drones was observed in non swarming colonies.

  • Drone Honey Bee Flight from Clustered Swarms

    Creator:
    Burgett, D. Michael
    Abstract:
    The mating flight behavior of drone honey bees from swarm clusters is compared to drone mating flight behavior from colony situations. Duration of flight from swarms and colony situations is similar. Swarm drones appear to take as many flights/day but spend less time between flights than colony drones.

  • Glucose Oxidase: A Food Protective Mechanism in Social Hymenoptera

    Creator:
    Burgett, D. Michael
    Abstract:
    The previously suggested protection from microbial attack of ripening nectar by the addition of glucose oxidase by the common honey bee, Apis mellifera L., has been found to occur in 9 other eusocial Hymenoptera from 3 superfamilies. The antibacterial effect results from the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide produced by the...

  • Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids: Their Occurrence in Honey from Tansy Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea L.)

    Creator:
    Burgett, D. Michael
    Abstract:
    The hepatotoxic alkaloids known to occur in tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea L.) are also present in honey produced from the nectar of this species. These alkaloids, which include senecionine, seneciphvlline, jacoline, jaconine, jacobine, and jacozine, are potentially carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic and may pose health hazards to the human consumer.

    Creator:
    Akratanakul, Pongthep
    Abstract:
    The bee mites Varroa jacobsoni Oudemaris and Euvarroa sinhai Delfinado and Baker (Family Varroidae) are reported for the first time from Thailand. V. jacobsoni was found parasitizing colonies of Apis cerana indica F. and A. mellifera L., E. sinhai was observed in association with drones of A. florea F. The...

    Burgett, D. Michael and Tremblay, Alan
    Abstract:
    Polyethylene film controlled release packets utilizing ethylene dibromide (EDB) and pdichlorobenzene (PDB) were designed and tested against late instar larvae of Galleria mellonella (L.). EDB controlled release packets gave 100% control of larvae in 48 h under experimental conditions at 26.6° and 32.3°C. PDB controlled release packets gave 13.3 and...

  • Lipid Storage by Honey Ant Repletes

    Creator:
    Burgett, D. Michael and Young, R. G.
    Abstract:
    A previously undescribed system of differential food storage in replete forms of the honey ant, Myrmecocystus mexicanus Wesmael, is reported. Certain repletes store lipid as glycerol and cholesterol esters associated with sugar solutions containing glucose, fructose, and maltose.
