4. Topics we will explain
Introduction of honey bees
Types of honey bees
Physiology of hone bees
Communication of honey bees
Round and waggle dance
Pheromones

5.  Animal communication is the passage of
information b/w two animal (Zoosemiotics)
 There is two types of communication
 Intraspecific communication
 Interspecific communication

7. Three types of honey bees in a hive
 Queen
 Drones
 Workres

8.  Strictly male.
 mate with the queen at about 2-8 weeks
of age.
 After mating drones dies.
 In early fall, all the drones that have not
mated are kicked out of the hive.

9. Workers
• Strictly female.
• Largest population of
the hive.
• Responsible for all the
tasks of hive.
• They visit 2 million
flowers for one pound
of money
• Makes wax to build the
hive.
• Lives for 5-8 weeks in
the summer. They can
live longer during the
winter when there’s
less “work” to be done.

10.  Female.
 Generally single queen per
colony.
 Regulate the hive
 Mates with drones
 The larval queen is fed
exclusively royal jelly.
 Lays 1,500 to 2,000 eggs
per day during the summer

11. Dance
communication:-
Round dance
Waggle dance
ODOUR OR CHEMICAL
COMMUNICATIO:-
Pheromones

14. Appearance
 Honey bees have 4 wings
 Honey bees have golden stripes
 Honey bees have 6 legs
 Honey bees are black and yellow
 The queen honey bee has an extra-large abdomen

15.  Basic Bee Anatomy: body
of a bee is divided into
three sections, head,
thorax and abdomen.
 Honey Bee
Exoskeleton: Honey bee
exoskeleton with the
muscles attached to the
inside.
 Honey Bee Respiratory
System bees and all insects,
blood is not used to
transport oxygen but
instead the trachea are
used.

16.  Honey Bee Circulatory: The
haemolymph of a bee carries
no oxygen not contain the
red pigment haemoglobin
and result a pale
amber colour.
 Honey Bee Digestive
System – Alimentary
System: Alimentary canal
starts with bee mouth and
situated the base of the
mandibles.
 Honey Bee Glands: honey
bee important glands
situated in her head, thorax
and abdomen.

17.  Bee Brain and Nervous
System: Honey bees
insects not only a brain
in their head but several
sub
brains or ganglia through
out their bodies. Than 2
ganglia in the thorax and
5 in the abdomen.
 Honey Bee Larvae
Digestive System :
alimentary canal of a bee
larvae is not complex and
developed that of a fully
grown bee , but still has
to function efficiently to
ensure.

18.  Honey bee use sting for
protection
 Stinger – a modified
ovipositor used for
defense (males do not
have a stinger)
 A honey bee use its
sting once in life
 Honey bees sting can
swollen the body

Topic waggle dance
Department BS Zoology

21. Aristotle, 384-322 B.C.E.
Observed bees making
“dancing” movements

22. “Waggle dance”
When bees find food
source is 50 meters
away bees come in
hive
Tells other about new
source.

23. PLUS!
Short stops in which the
dancer doles out
samples of the food to
her audience
 Taste and smell of
the food!

24. And that’s not all…
After this bees dance
By moving feeder to
different angles and locations
bees tells other the new
source of food. Runs straight
ahead for a short distance,
returns in a semicircle to the
starting point, runs again
through the straight course,
then makes a semicircle in
the opposite direction to
complete a full, figure-eight
circuit
Bees: finds new food sources
& dances
Ther bees: follow dances &
then forage

25. Summery of dance
1) DIRECTION:
- Angle of waggle run
2) DISTANCE:
- Number of waggles per run
3) QUALITY:
- The duration of the dance (total waggle runs)
4) TASTE AND SMELL:
- Dancer gives free samples
*** ROUND DANCE- only for nearby sources,

• DEPARTMENT BS ZOOLOGY

30. Karl von Frisch, 1886-1982
• Describe the round
dance

31. To communicate to others in the hive
where to find a nectar source that is
located within 35 yards or less of the hive,
honeybees will perform the “round” dance.
The bee turns in circles to the left and
then to the right.
How long and enthusiastic her dance
is, represents how plentiful the nectar
source is.
The dance does not tell the other bees
what direction the flower is in, however
she will provide them with the flower’s
scent so they will be able to locate it.

 DEPARTMENT BS ZOOLOGY

35. PHEROMONES

36. PHEROMONES
• Pheromes are the chemical
substances that creates a
physiological response by another
animal of the same specie.
• It allow the colony of the animal to
deal with any unfavorable or
environmental condition.
• In honey bees, it is the source of
communication among all the castes
• Queen-worker, Worker-worker,
Queen-drones and between adult
bees and the new born bees.

37. TYPES OF PHEROMONES
• Types of pheromones
are:
1.Atractant Peromone:
》produced by gland
in abdomen.
》used to locate and
attract lost members
of the colony.
(Nasanov gland)

38. 2. Alarm Pheromone:
》produced by
• Mendibular gland and the sting gland.
• Menibular Gland:
In case of danger.
 Sting Gland:
They sting the intruder.

39. HOW THEY RECEIVE SIGNAS
 Antennae and mouthparts are equipped with
receptors that interpret the odour.
