The honey bee is a major insect used for pollination of many commercial crops worldwide. Although the use of honey bees for pollination can disrupt the habitat, the effects on their physiology have never been determined. Recently, honey bee colonies have often collapsed when introduced in greenhouses for pollination in Japan. Thus, suppressing colony collapses and maintaining the number of work...

A honey bee queen mates with a number of drones a few days after she emerges as an adult. Spermatozoa of different drones are stored in her spermatheca and used for the rest of the queen's life to fertilize eggs. Sperm usage is thought to be random, so that the patriline distribution within a honey bee colony would remain constant over time. In this study we assigned the progeny of a naturally ...

abstrac:    in recent years, honey bee products other than just honey such as pollen, propolis, waxes and venoms have gained considerable attention. hive is the most important tool in honey bee industry, the proper construction of which could play a key role in improving honey bee production.  since 1382, investigations have been done on hives made inside the country to eliminate deficiencies s...

a multi objective honey bee mating optimization (hbmo) designed by online learning mechanism is proposed in this paper to optimize the double fuzzy-lead-lag (fll) stabilizer parameters in order to improve low-frequency oscillations in a multi machine power system. the proposed double fll stabilizer consists of a low pass filter and two fuzzy logic controllers whose parameters can be set by the ...

There is a trend in the scientific community to model and solve complex optimization process by employing natural metaphors. In this area, Artificial Bee Colony optimization (ABC) tries to model natural behaviour of real honeybees in food foraging. ABC algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent behaviour of honey bee swarm. In this work, ABC is used for solving multivariabl...

The Northern Great Plains region of the US annually hosts a large portion of commercially managed U.S. honey bee colonies each summer. Changing land use patterns over the last several decades have contributed to declines in the availability of bee forage across the region, and the future sustainability of the region to support honey bee colonies is unclear. We examined the influence of varying ...

Dissecting diversity patterns of organisms endemic to Iberia has been truly challenging for a variety of taxa, and the Iberian honey bee is no exception. Surveys of genetic variation in the Iberian honey bee are among the most extensive for any honey bee subspecies. From these, differential and complex patterns of diversity have emerged, which have yet to be fully resolved. Here, we used a geno...

Recently, Distribute Generation sources (DGs) connected to the distribution network has received increasing attention. The daily voltage control is one of the most important schemes in distribution networks, which can be affected by DGs. This paper presents a multi-objective Voltage optimizes control modeling, including objectives that are the total cost of power generated by Wind Farms (WFs) a...

Carniolan honey bees (Apis mellifera carnica) are considered as an indigenous subspecies in Hungary adapted to most of the ecological and climatic conditions in this area. However, during the last decades Hungarian beekeepers have recognized morphological signs of the Italian honey bee (Apis mellifera ligustica). As the natural distribution of the honey bee subspecies can be affected by the imp...
