Honey Bees – A Primer
Filed under: Articles — admin @ 10:11 pm on the March 15, 2012
The common honey bee (Apis mellifera), also known as the European honey bee or the western honey bee, can be distinguished from a wasp by its hairy body. The hairs are used in gathering pollen grains, which are the bees’ only source of protein. If you are unable to tell by their appearance whether you are dealing with honey bees or wasps, however, your local pest control service can advise.
A hive consists of the queen, female worker bees, and male drones. The queen, with a lifespan of three to four years, is the only fertile female in the hive, and lays the eggs from which all the other bees in the hive originate. The bees that you see flying around your garden are female worker bees that have become foragers when they are a few weeks old. Worker bees usually live around six weeks, so the queen is constantly laying new eggs to replenish the hive’s population and workforce.
Worker bees spend their lives doing just that – working. When young, they clean the hive, feed the larvae, and build comb cells for the queen to use to deposit new eggs. When they are a couple of weeks old, worker bees start receiving and storing pollen and nectar from foraging bees. When she is about three weeks old, a worker bee will start leaving the hive every day and become a forager herself. Forager bees can travel up to four miles away from the hive to find food.
Drones do not leave the hive to forage for pollen. They also do not have stingers. They exist to fertise a new queen, and some may assist in temperature regulation of the hive, fanning water droplets brought back inside by foraging bees in order to produce cool airflow by evaporation.
When honeybees enter the hive, they hold their tongue out to show that they’re bringing food in; otherwise they would not be allowed in. Bees will allow bees from another hive to enter the hive as long as they have food, but they will kill them inside the hive and not allow them to leave. Bees are constantly robbing other hives for honey, as honey takes a long time to produce.
Just like us, bees need water to drink, and they also use it to cool the hives. That is why you may sometimes see bees around outdoor water taps and garden hoses. If you have a problem with bees around leaky water taps or hoses, repairing the leaks, rather than trying to kill the bees, may be the solution.

Bed Bug Study Suggests My Wife Should Stop Shaving Her Legs
Filed under: pest control - pest types — admin @ 8:03 am on the January 3, 2012
A new study on the common bed bug has made an amazing discovery. Bed bugs do not like hairy legs or skin. The University of Sheffield did research on these bugs and discovered that the hair prevents them from biting someone. These bed bugs as well as some others tend to go for areas with less hair to attack. Therefore, if we just stop shaving and let our hair grow maybe we can tolerate these bugs until we find a pest control service to take care of them for us.
In this study in the UK, some people volunteered to have one of their arms shaved while the other one was left unshaven. Both of their arms were then attacked by bed bugs. This experiment proved that the hair stopped the bugs from biting the protected arm. The hair protects the arm by slowing the bugs down and giving you a chance to be aware of the bugs before they bite. People with hair can feel these bugs as they crawl on their skin.
If you have a bed bug problem and do not want to stop shaving, you will need to find some way to eliminate them from your home. A removal treatment may be necessary before the bed bug takes over your home. Bugs can multiply quickly in your home especially if you do not have a good pest control service. A pest control company will know the proper kind of removal treatment to use for the bugs.
