The biology and behavior of the alkali bee Nomia melanderi Cockerell (Hymnoptera: Apoidea)

Creator:: Hackwell, Glenn Alfred
Abstract:: Nomia melanderi Cockerell is one of the most efficient pollinators of alfalfa in Eastern Oregon. Emergence begins in June, usually reaches its peak in early July, and may continue into early August. Male emergence precedes female emergence by four or five days. For the first few weeks of this time,...

A survey of alfalfa pollinators and polination in the San Joaquin Valley of California with emphasis on establishment of the alkali bee

Creator:: Torchio, Philip F.
Abstract:: The study involves the establishment, management, and behavioral observations of Nomia melanderi Cockerell and Megachile rotundata (Fabricius) in California, a survey of native bees within western Fresno County, a determination of selfing and/or parthenocarpy in two fields of alfalfa, and observations on the honeybee as an alfalfa pollinator. The alkali...

Effects of synthetic 9-oxodectrans-2-enoic acid on the foraging activities of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.)

Creator:: Youngs, Lorna C.
Abstract:: An experimental formulation of 9 -oxodec-trans-2-enoic acid, the major component of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) queen pheromone, was tested for its effect on worker foraging behavior in the pollination of sweet cherries (Prunus avium L. ). The test formulation consisted of a solid beeswax cylinder impregnated with a measured...

Foraging and nesting behavior of the leaf-cutter bee Megachile rotundata (Fabricius)

Creator:: Osgood, Charles Edgar
Abstract:: The study provides the details of the ethology of Megachile rotundata (Fabricius), and presents preliminary observations on its foraging and nesting behavior. Development from prepupae to adults proceeds most rapidly at 32 degrees C., and is retarded when held at lower and higher temperatures. Male behavior is distinct from that...

The biology and external morphology of bees ; with a synopsis of the genera of northwestern America

Creator:: Stephen, William Procuronoff, 1927-, Bohart, George Edward, and Torchio, Philip F.
Abstract:: ENTOMOLOGISTS, BOTANISTS, and AGRICULTURISTS all have occasion to concern themselves with bees. The en-tomologist is fascinated by their complex behavior pat-terns, the botanist needs to evaluate their significance infloral biology, and the agriculturist must take them into account as vital factors in crop production. Finally, the apiculturist often wishes to...

Studies on Heterostylum robustum (Osten Sacken) (Diptera : Bombyliidae), a parasite of Nomia melanderi

Creator:: Eppley, Richard Keith
Abstract:: Heterostylum robustum (Osten Sacken) is the principal parasite of the alkali bee, Nomia melanderi Ckll., one of the most efficient pollinators of alfalfa in the western United States. The purpose of the study was to determine the incidence of parasitism and to investigate the biology of H. robustum. The fly...

Mechanisms of orientation in the leaf-cutter bee Megachile rotundata (Fabricius)

Creator:: Osgood, Charles Edgar
Abstract:: The leaf- cutter bee Megachile rotundata (Fabricius) is an important alfalfa pollinator in western North America. This study was designed to provide information on methods of orientation used by M. rotundata in order to make recommendations regarding the parameters within which adult nesting populations may be relocated. Preliminary studies suggest...
