Podcasts about apis mellifera

Tune in to hear Head of School, Dr. Mark Carleton, chat with acclaimed children and adult author, Candace Fleming. This episode which takes a peek behind the scenes at Candace's writing is now live and available for download on our People of PS Podcast. Candace Fleming is the author of more than forty books. Among her nonfiction titles are Giant Squid, Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart, and The Family Romanov: Murder, Rebellion and the Fall of Imperial Russia.  Her award-winning titles include The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh which won the 2021 YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction, and Honeybee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera, winner of the 2021 Sibert Medal.  She is also the recipient of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and the Orbis Pictus Award, as well as a two-time recipient of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award for Nonfiction, the ALA Sibert Honor, and SCBWI's Golden Kite Award.Presbyterian School was honored to host Candace Fleming on campus last month. She visited with all PK3-8th grade students and tailored her presentations to the different age students: for Early Childhood, the focus was on discovering and sharing stories; for Lower School, Fleming delved deeper into the writing process, discussing topics like structure and revision; and for Middle School, she focused on her writing research methods, the use of primary documents, and editorial choices. Fleming's interactive presentations, accompanied by visually stimulating slides, incorporated elements of storytelling and humor to ignite students' enthusiasm for the wonderful world of writing and reading.

In this podcast we learn that through math(s) we can prove that some of our long held beliefs about honeybees are wrong. Derek Mitchell researches into the heat transfer of man-made and natural honeybee nests at the School of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Leeds where he has recently completed his Phd with a thesis entitled “The Thermofluid engineering of the honeybee nest (Apis Mellifera) . He has had articles published in Beecraft, Bee Culture, American Bee Journal and Natural Honey bee husbandry in addition to his published academic work in the Royal Society Journal and International Journal of Biometeorology. Recent papers include: Publications: Mitchell D (2023) Honeybees cluster together when it's cold – but we've been completely wrong about why The Conversation November 24, 2023 https://theconversation.com/honeybees-cluster-together-when-its-cold-but-weve-been-completely-wrong-about-why-218066Mitchell, D.M.

Bees and other pollinators are critical to our survival, with one out of every three bites of food we eat depending on pollination to produce. That's why reports of a decline in bee populations and rising threats from pests, viruses and environmental pressures, including climate change, are alarming.In this episode we talk with an expert on bees and other pollinators about how bees are doing and why it's important to save them. We also talk with two biotech leaders whose companies are working to improve bee health through development of innovative treatments for some of the worst threats faced by bees.Follow us on LinkedIn, X, Facebook and Instagram. Visit us at https://www.bio.org/

Olá a todos, mais um podcast do grupo pet agronômia! Desta vez o PETiano Renato Gonçalves irá aborda sobre uma curioso tema "Inserção da Apis mellifera no Brasil".

How do we help young (and not so young) truth seekers make connections, build context, and satisfy their curiosity? Nonfiction storyteller extraordinaire Candace Fleming joins us to discuss the power of nonfiction storytelling for building connections, the importance of asking questions, and the power of vital ideas in creating works of nonfiction that kids (and their adults) want to read.  Among her nonfiction titles are Giant Squid, Amelia Lost: The Life and Disappearance of Amelia Earhart, and The Family Romanoff.. Most recently, she's published The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindberg, which won the 2021 YALSA Excellence in nonfiction and Honeybee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera, the winner of the 2021 Sibert Medal. She also just recently published Crash From Outer Space and Polar Bear. I had a wonderful time talking truth, fiction, and everything in between with Candace Fleming. [01:41] Why write nonfiction? And how do you write for diverse audiences that range from preschool to high school?The reason I write for middle school and middle school and high school nonfiction is because I think they have plenty of facts to hand, but they don't have any context. And I also think that that is an age group that are seeking facts. They're looking, actively looking. They are truth seekers. [05:27] How does creative nonfiction help build connections? Crash From Outer Space I ask myself, what does this piece of history have to say? What does this piece of history have to say to how we live today? What echoes? What hooks? [10:18] How do you structure nonfiction to keep readers engaged while providing confidence that what they are reading is factual?[11:56] Building Creative Nonfiction Through Vital Ideas [14:25] What happens when research shifts the vital idea?

Olá, hoje é 08 de novembro de 2022, meu nome é Fabiola Lira, sou Assessora de Agronegócios do Banco do Brasil em Tangará da Serra - MT e vamos falar sobre a apicultura, principalmente sobre a produção de mel.A atividade de apicultura consiste na criação de abelhas com o objetivo de produzir mel, própolis, geleia real, pólen e cera de abelha e representa uma significativa fonte de renda principalmente para os agricultores familiares, visto que é uma atividade que não exige grandes áreas para seu desenvolvimento. A parcela mais representativa de renda dos apicultores é oriunda da comercialização do mel.A espécie de abelha mais utilizada para produção de mel é a Apis Mellifera. No Brasil, é popularmente conhecida como abelha africanizada, pois é o resultado do cruzamento das raças europeia e africana. Apesar de ser muito defensivas, as abelhas africanizadas são ativas o ano todo, altamente produtivas e resistentes às doenças.O Brasil é um dos grandes produtores mundiais de mel, com um potencial enorme para expansão dessa cadeia produtiva, pois tem condições especiais de flora e clima, e potencial de produzir de norte a sul do país e em todas as épocas do ano. A atividade possibilita a migração dos apiários para locais onde as floradas são mais abundantes, aumentando a produção e melhorando a qualidade dos produtos. Além disso, em função da diversidade da nossa flora, o mel do Brasil se destaca pela riqueza de cores sabores. Segundo o IBGE, no ano de 2021 o Brasil produziu 55 mil e 800 toneladas de mel, dos quais exportou 47 mil e 100 toneladas. De acordo com o Ministério da Indústria, Comércio Exterior e Serviços, a exportação de mel gerou, no ano de 2021, uma receita de 163 milhões de dólares e os principais compradores do mel brasileiro foram os Estados Unidos com 72%, Alemanha com 12% e Canadá com 6%.O consumo de mel pelo brasileiro ainda é pequeno, em torno de 60 gramas por ano por pessoa. A média mundial é de 240 gramas. Portanto, há um grande potencial de crescimento. Você sabia que o Banco do Brasil faz o custeio de cada uma de suas colmeias? Financia até mesmo o transporte? Procure sua agência do BB ou assistência técnica para mais informações.Conte sempre com a assessoria especializada em agronegócios e com toda a equipe do Banco do Brasil.

In this archive special episode from November, 2020, Master Beekeeper, Katharina Davitt reveals the nutritional benefits honey bees derive from bananas. Yes, you read that correctly, bananas! We all know that bananas are good for people. They are full of carbs, minerals, vitamins, are good for digestion and just taste good. But the one thing all beekeepers learn when they start out is that when bees are threatened, they release alarm pheromone and that smells like bananas. So up to now, wise beekeepers didn't bring bananas to the bee yard. But it turns out feeding bananas to honey bees is actually a good way to get good food into a hive. Really. Katharina Davitt tell us why and how. Her University of Montana Master Beekeeper research project explored the nutritional requirements of honey bees and the properties of bananas. Katharina shares data behind this! The conclusions reached from this study found that colonies cannot live on bananas alone, but bananas will help in the spring, during a summer dearth and in the fall. But who would have thought – bananas for bees?! Before the talk with Katharina, Kirsten, Kim and Jeff discuss the ongoing debate pitting the honey bee against native bees and pollinators. Why the debate? What's the issue and what's the real problem? Kim, Kirsten and Kim explore it all.

Content Warnings: bees, discussion of mental illness, manipulative parenting "The 21st century saw the western honeybee Apis Mellifera approach the brink of extinction time and time again. Through the dedication of scientists and others with a professional stake in their pollination tasks, they were preserved however. What those teams didn't expect perhaps, was the impact the way these bees shared information would have on our understanding of computing..."

A pesar de su abundancia y gran número de especies, cuando muchos oyen la palabra “abeja” solo la asocian a la abeja amarilla y negra, Apis Mellifera, la más común a nivel económico, por esto es importante ampliar el concepto, ya que la denominación “abejas” tiene un sentido más amplio y se refiere a miles de especies que, en general, pasan desapercibidas para el hombre, así como sus aportes en la polinización de cultivos y producción de alimentos. Hoy conversaré acerca de lo concerniente a otros tipos de abejas, nativas de nuestro continente americano: abejas sin aguijón o abejas meliponas, su trascendencia, beneficios y alcances de la interacción de esta abeja con el ecosistema donde se desenvuelve, específicamente aquí en América Latina. Así mismo destacaré la situación actual de esas abejas en el continente y qué podemos hacer al respecto. Continúa escuchando.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.10.27.354845v1?rss=1 Authors: Traynor, K. S., Lamas, Z. S., vanEngelsdorp, D. Abstract: Eusocial Apis mellifera colonies depend on queen longevity and brood viability to survive, as the queen is the sole reproductive individual and the maturing brood replenishes the shorter lived worker bees. Production of many crops rely on both pesticides and bee pollination to improve crop quantity and quality. We looked at the resiliency of queens and their brood after one month of sublethal exposure to field relevant doses of pesticides that mimic exposure during commercial pollination contracts. We exposed full size colonies to pollen contaminated with field-relevant doses of the fungicides (chlorothalonil and propicanizole), insecticides (chlorypyrifos and fenpropathrin) or both, noting a significant reduction in pollen consumption in colonies exposed to fungicides compared to control. While we found no difference in the total amount of pollen collected per colony, a higher proportion of pollen to non-pollen foragers was detected in all pesticide exposed colonies. After ceasing treatments we measured brood development, discovering a significant increase in brood loss and/or cannibalism across all pesticide exposed groups. Sublethal pesticide exposure in general was linked to reduced production of replacement workers and a change in protein acquisition (pollen vs. non-pollen foraging). Fungicide exposure also resulted in increased loss of the reproductive queen. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

In this bonus episode, Jeff and Kim talk about the just announced discovery of a new race of honey bees, uncovered in the Solomon Islands, Apis gigantica-nordquist, on the smallest uninhabited island, Vangunu. Vangunu, the smallest, uninhabited speck of land in the Solomon Islands is the home to one of the largest rats in the world. But it turns out it is also the home to the largest honey bee species in the world. When loggers felled a tree on Vangunu late last year, a large honey bee colony came down with it. A typical honey bee is the size of a paperclip. These honey bees are about the size of a tube of lipstick or roughly three times the size of Apis Mellifera. Listen today on the first day of April about this latest discovery in 2020, a year that will go down in history as one of the weirdest and wildest, ever.

Hosts Adam Allington and David Schultz take us back to the earliest days of beekeeping in Egypt and tell us how humans and honeybees formed a partnership that has spanned thousands of years and several continents. In addition to the obvious benefits of producing honey, Apis Mellifera, also known as the European honeybee, has also inspired the imagination of thinkers and philosophers from the “land of milk and honey,” up to a 19th century minister who invented the modern beehive.

Beekeeping supports community pollination, food supplies, and fosters bee populations outside of the commercial beekeeping industry.Pollination:  Bees can help make your plants healthy as they pollinate, as well as fruit trees in nearby orchards which helps the local economy! Low maintenance. Bees work hard without much effort from you.Honeybee Decline:  Some of the main causes are pesticides both agricultural and home & garden used chemicals.Pests; Varroa mites, Hive BeetlesDiseases, Nosema and American Foulbrood (will discuss in Part three of this series.)Predators: Wasps, Racoons and BearsClimate changes: Rapid climate changes disrupt the timing between bees and blooming. Directly impacts the hives brood and bee rearing cycles.Monoculture: Huge scale single crop plantings deprive the honeybees of the diversity of vegetation key to healthy bee habitats virtually creating food deserts.          Honey:  Bees produce honey from the sugary secretions of plants known as nectar. Honey is used as a natural sweetener, is found in skin and health care products, and medicines. Honey’s flavor profile is determined by the nectar available in a three mile radius.Fun: Mead! Mead is composed of honey, water and yeast. It is a fermented drink growing in popularity at a rapid rate. It’s an ancient drink that is making a great comeback.Community Education, Entomology, Ecosystems, all help us to better  understand our modern food system and the importance of it’s sustainability.Health and Well Being: Coming from Beeswax and propolis, a hive byproduct.Household items: candles, soaps, salves, lotions, shampoos, creams, deodorants, tonics, tinctures, wood polish and beeswax wraps to name a few.Types of Bees:Not all pollinators are honey bees. The honey bee is exceptional because it  also provides food for human consumption. Our focus will be mainly on the honey bee but we must remember we need all of our pollinators to survive.Apis Mellifera is the Western honey bee. Apis is Latin for “Bee” and Mellifera is “honey bearing”. It is the most commonly recognized bee when we think of pollination but we do have other species as well.Mason Bees also known as Blue orchard Bees don’t live in big hives but live in tubular cavities. They do not produce honey but are some of the best pollinators out there and in light of the honey bees’ decline these are a great addition to pollinating your trees and gardens. Seven mason Bees pollinate at the same level as 500 Honey Bees. to you can see how we can utilize this little group as well.Bumble Bees are similar to the Honey Bee when it comes to the structure of the colony. They have a single Queen and colonies are marginally smaller than the Honey Bees.They also feed on nectar but do not produce honey. The Queens invade other Bumblebee nests, kill the resident Queens and lay their eggs.This species is also in decline caused by habitat loss along with the mechanization of agriculture and the use of pesticides.CapenterBee, Leafcutter Bee, Sweat Bees, and so on! I suggest a google search for types of bees. You will be astounded at the diversity in the Bee  families.The Beehive:  Understand various types of beehives are perfectly fine. Each is user preference when it comes to keeping their bees.Beehive: an enclosed man made structure where honeybees live and raise their young.Bees nest: an the location bee colonies chose to house themselves in, walls, roofs, cavities in trees, old sheds, etc. In warmer climates you can find them hanging and exposed.So, the nest is the bees way and the hive is the man made way to house the nest.If you were to look into the inside of the nest you would see densely packed hexagon shaped cells make of wax for food storage, honey, pollen, and most importantly to house their brood which is composed of eggs, larvae and pupae up to the day they emerge from the cell as  a honeybee.Both natural and man made bee hives or nests require bee space. Bees do this naturally, modern hives use frames with bee space integrated into their design.Three most common types: Langstroth, Warre and Tob bar.Diagrams and pictures available in the DIY section online at honeybeemyteacher.comLangstroth: Bottom board with a porch for the bees entrance,  boxes with frames.Inner cover and telescoping cover for protection from weather.  Standard for many of the worlds beekeepers both professional and amateur.  Simple structure and fairly easy to work with.I prefer the 8 frame hive because of weight.  Honey is heavy!  Good beginner hiveWarre hive very similar to the Langstroth.Difference: Bars only, no frames. Bees build themselves.  It takes a little more skill to manage but is becoming more popular among sustainable practice beekeepers.  New empty box is placed on the bottom as opposed to the Langstroth where we place the new box on the top.  Purpose of this replacement is warmth retention within the brood nest of the hive which is considered to be the heartbeat of the hive.Top bar Hive: Horizontal design. Also referred to and the Kenya hive. Uses bars no frames. You have to make sure to create bee space.Pricing ranges:Langstroth: Unassembled $95 to as much as $299Warre:  $140 to $400Top Bar. $45 to $350Hobby vs Commercial Beekeeping:Hobby Beekeepers are in a great position to make a real impact for the Honeybee.The hobbyists can effectively create a matrix of Bee populations giving the Honeybee a fighting chance to survive and regenerate their populations while commercial Beekeepers  focus on pollinating large scale crops for profit.Making the decision to be a hobbyist or work at the commercial level boils down to your motivation and reason to keep the Honeybees.This podcast is focused on the opportunity to work together in community to make healthy changes for our beautiful planet.Press subscribe and let's get started learning, teaching, and buzzing together.

Wir besuchen Dietmar, Sebastian und Markus – sie züchten im Salzburger Raum die "Dunkle Biene", die Apis Mellifera mellifera. Im Gespräch auf der Belegstelle St. Michael bei Lofer finden wir heraus, was diese Bienen so besonders macht, und warum sie gezüchtet wird. Welche Konflikte es gibt. Dabei erfahren wir auch einiges über die Belegstellenarbeit. Link:  http://www.dunkle-biene.at

102 klinisch auffällige und 35 symptomlose Bienenvölker aus 19 bayerischen Landkreisen sowie 70 Proben des Ektoparasiten Varroa destructor wurden mittels RT-PCR auf das Vorkommen von Black queen cell virus (BQCV), Deformed wing virus (DWV) und Kashmir bee virus (KBV) untersucht. In 90.5 % der Bienenproben wurde mindestens eines der Viren nachgewiesen, wobei klinisch auffällige Völker hoch signifikant häufiger betroffen waren als symptomlose Völker (96 % vs. 74.3 %; p
