Honey bees live in well-organized colonies and produce honey from collecting pollen and nectar. They are social insects with different roles, including a queen, workers, and male drones. Honey bees display defensive behaviors to protect their nests but can only sting once. Their behavior and social structure allow them to survive harsh winter conditions through food storage and clustering for warmth.
Beekeeping is the maintenance of bee colonies, commonly in man-made hives, by humans. A beekeeper keeps bees in order to collect their honey and other products that the hive produce (beeswax, propolis, flower pollen, bee pollen, and royal jelly), to pollinate crops, or produce bees for sale to other beekeepers.
Honey bees are social insects, which means that they live together in large, well-organized family group.
Communication, complex net construction, environmental control, defense and divison of the labor are just some of the behaviour that honey bees have developed to exist successfully in social colonies.
A honey bees colony typically consists of three kinds of the bees 1) Queen. 2) Workers. 3) Drones.
In addition to thousands of workers adults, a colony normally has a single queen & several hundred drones.
Honey bees live in comb or nest.
Mutual cooperation exist.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
4. Honey Bee Vs Human Being
Because they can
maintain a close
relationship with
humans, the
behavior of honey
bees has been well-
researched. Honey
bees live in well-
organized colonies
and do not require
hibernation
5.
6.
7. Honey Production
They are best known
for their production of
honey, which they store
in wax combs inside
nests. Honey bees are
generally active during
spring, when they go in
search of plants from
which to collect pollen
and nectar. From these
two ingredients, they
create honey, which
humans have
harvested for hundreds
of years
8.
9. Social Insect
Honey bees are social
creatures and live within
colonies with a queen,
thousands of workers and a
few male drones. Workers
make these nests from wax,
which they secrete from their
abdominal glands. Within
each cell, young workers
place pollen and nectar as
food for developing larvae.
Male drones are ejected from
the nest to die during autumn,
after they have completed
their only task in life: to mate
with queens. The age of
honey bees also plays an
important role in determining
which individuals perform
various daily activities.
10. Honey Bees Are Adaptable
Honey bees are very
adaptable. While honey
bees forage for food in
groups, a colony can
survive without foraging for
several years by living on
food reserves and huddling
in large, compacted
masses during winter
seasons. Honey bees
behave similarly in Africa,
Asia, Europe and other
parts of the world, though
certain species are known
to be more aggressive
than others
11. Honey Bees Behave
defensively
Like some insects, honey
bees behave defensively
when intruders are near,
guarding the entrance to their
nests. However, honey bees
are able to sting only once.
Because stingers contain
barbs and are attached to the
worker’s intestines, they
detach from the stinging bee’s
body after attacking a victim.
While a honey bee will die
soon after transferring its
venom, pheromones secreted
during the attack will alarm
and stimulate other worker
bees to attack, as well.
12. Bee Hives in Wild
In the wild, honey bee hives
are often located in the holes
of trees and on rock crevices.
The hive is made from wax
from the special abdominal
glands of worker honey bees.
Workers sweep up a few
flakes of wax from their
abdomens and chew these
flakes until the wax becomes
soft. Workers then mold the
wax and use it in making cells
to form the hive. Unlike other
bee species, honey bees do
not hibernate during cold
periods. Instead, they remain
inside the nests huddled
closely together, sharing body
heat and feeding on stored
food supplies.
13. Honey Bees Lives in Colonies
Honey bees are social
creatures and live in colonies.
However, they do display
some aggressive behavior
within colonies: drones are
ejected from their nests
during cold weather, and a
queen will sometimes sting
other queens during mating
fights for dominance.
Although honey bees serve a
significant role in pollination
and ecology, measures
should be taken to ensure
that hives do not exist in
close proximity to your home,
due to the possibility of
getting stung. Always contact
a pest control professional
before attempting to address
an infestation

21. Guarding
At some point during the worker honey bee's
life, she will take up the role of nest guard.
Guarding is necessary to protect the hive
against predation, parasitism and robbing.
Here we see a wasp, Vespula vulgaris,
attempting to enter the hive and the fierce
response of the guard bees
22. Age Levels of Bees Correlated
With Work Habits
The honey bee is adaptable to many
environments. Honey bees that were native
only to Europe, Asia, and Africa have adapted
well to all but the polar regions of the world.
Part of this adaptability lies in the capacity of
the individual bee to “sense” what must be
done, then to perform the necessary duty.
23. Queen Attendants
The queen bee is cleaned by
her courtiers, who meet her
every need, including the
disposal of her waste. At the
height of the season she lays
her own weight in eggs every
couple of hours, and so is
continuously surrounded by
young worker attendants,
who feed her royal jelly.
These attendants lick her
body, taking up the queen
odour (Queen Mandibular
Pheromone), which is then
spread throughout the colony
via continuous food
exchanges between the
workers.
24. Swarming
Swarming is a natural method
of reproduction, where the old
queen leaves with a large
proportion of her offsping
from the original hive to form
a new colony. The swarm has
to hurry as the only provisions
for the journey are in the form
of full crops. Once the scout
bees, up to 300 workers,
have found an ideal site,it
doesn't take long for the rest
of the swarm (perhaps 20,000
bees) to fly off to the new
location. The time taken here
from the first bees take off
until the last bee leaves is
approximately 1 minute 40
seconds
25. The Drones
The time of day that drones fly in search of a mate
depends on many factors, such as the geographic
location, day length, and temperature. Drones
usually fly from the hive in large numbers between
11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Morning or early afternoon
flights may last 2 or 3 hours. Later flights are
shorter. When out of the hive, drones congregate
in “mating areas,” which may serve to attract
virgin queens. These areas usually are less than
100 feet from the ground and seem to be
associated with land terrain.
26. The Queen
The virgin queen becomes sexually mature
about 5 days after emergence. She is
relatively quiet in the morning and most active
in the afternoon. She may begin her mating
flights 5 or 6 days after emergence and go on
a number of flights over several days. Mating
with 8 to 12 drones will stock her spermatheca
with 6 million to 7 million sperm. She will begin
to lay eggs in 2 to 5 days and may continue for
years
27. Control of Foraging
A major crop pollination goal is to control
foraging bees and get them to more effectively
visit and pollinate crops; conversely, we would
like to repel them from areas where there is
danger from insecticides or where they
endanger people. Work with other insects –
both social and nonsocial – indicates that this
might be accomplished some day by chemical
and physical means
28. The Performance of Colonies
Genetically, we found that some bees produce
more honey than others, but we do not know
why. The individual bee may collect more
because of its own genetic inheritance. The
colony may store more honey because of the
queen’s inherited ability to lay more eggs,
resulting in a greater total population of bees
in the hive, or because the bees are inherently
longer lived
29. Cause of Stinging Bees or
Temper
The term “temper” of bees refers to their
inclination to sting. Many factors influence the
temper of bees, and it is a difficult subject to
study. Environment of the hive and
manipulation by an individual beekeeper
certainly influence temper responses of bees.
Temper is probably influenced tremendously
by the genetics or inheritance of the bee as
well as the environment
30. Known Pheromone Activity
Chemicals that bees and other insects
produce that influence, or direct, behavior of
other bees are broadly called pheromones. In
honey bees these chemicals are produced by
the queen, workers, and probably drone
31. Flight Behavior
When several thousand bees and a queen are
placed in new surroundings – which happens
when the swarm enters its new domicile or a
package of bees is installed, or a colony is
moved to a new location – normal flight of
some workers from the entrance may occur
within minutes. If flowering plants are
available, bees may be returning to the hive
with pollen within an hour
32. Colony Morale
“Colony morale” generally refers to the well-being of
the colony. If the morale is good, the bees are doing
what is desired of them, including increasing the
colony population, making honey, and pollinating
flowers. Many factors affect colony morale. For
example, if the queen is removed from a colony during
a honey flow, the daily weight gains immediately
decrease, although the bee population for the next 3
weeks is unaltered. Also, when a colony is preparing
to swarm, the bees practically stop gathering pollen
and nectar. Improper manipulations or external
environment also affects colony morale. A colony has
good morale when the maximum number of bees are
making the maximum number of flights to gather
nectar and pollen.
33. Housecleaning
Certain waste material accumulates in a
normal colony. Adult bees and immature forms
may die. Wax scales, cappings from the cells
of emerging bees, particles of pollen, and
crystallized bits of honey drop to the floor of
the hive. Intruders, such as wax moths, bees
from other colonies, and predators, are killed
and fall to the floor. Worker bees remove this
debris from the hiv
