The presentation contains the description about various parts of morphology of the honey bee viz: head, type of mouthpart, abdomen including the legs and wings, and the abdomen.
This document discusses various insect and non-insect enemies of honey bees, including the wax moth, wasps, ants, parasitic mites like Varroa destructor, and diseases. It provides details on the nature of damage caused by each enemy, symptoms of infestation or disease, and recommended management practices like removing infested comb, maintaining strong bee colonies, and using approved treatments and chemicals.
This document discusses traditional and modern methods of beekeeping. Under the traditional or indigenous method, bees would build combs in wall cavities or wooden boxes, and honey was extracted by killing the bees or smoking them out and squeezing the honeycombs by hand, resulting in impure honey and a weakened bee colony. The modern method uses movable frame hives, queen excluders to separate the brood chamber from honey supers, and centrifugal honey extractors and uncapping knives to harvest honey without harming bees or combs. Appliances and scientific practices allow for better control, productivity, and humane treatment of bee colonies.

This document summarizes the morphology and life cycle of lac insects. It describes the key characteristics of male and female lac insects and notes that females are larger, lack eyes and wings, and have piercing/sucking mouthparts. The life cycle is described as taking 6 months and involving an egg, nymph, and adult stage. The nymph is the most active stage, called the crawler. Traditional and modern methods of lac production are also summarized, with the modern method involving dividing plants into parts and harvesting lac from them sequentially.
The document discusses the structure and functions of insect antennae. It notes that antennae are borne on the second head segment and function primarily for sensory perception. The main parts of antennae are the scape, pedicel, and flagellum. Antennae allow insects to detect smells, sounds, humidity, mates, food, and danger. Their shape varies between insect orders and can be filiform, setaceous, moniliform, capitate, clavate, lamellate, serrate, pectinate, geniculate, bipectinate, aristate, or stylate depending on the insect. Antennae play important sensory roles in insect behavior and communication.

Ethology: How, Why, and What Animal Behavior isDillon Jones
This presentation was used to introduce Ethology as a research field to our members. The last half of the presentation used an activity to critically evaluate our members reasoning skills.
The honey bee's nervous system consists of a brain and 7 ganglia located throughout the body. While the brain controls higher functions, most locomotion is controlled by the ganglia. Even after decapitation, bees can still move their legs and wings due to signals from the ganglia, though they cannot fly without balance from the head. The bee brain resembles the human brain less and has automatic functions transferred to the ganglia. Key parts of the bee brain that allow for learning and memory are the mushroom bodies located near the ocelli in the proto-cerebrum. The nervous system works with the bee's senses of smell via antennae, taste via cells on their tongue and legs, and touch via tactile
Honey is a sweet food made by bees from nectar and has been consumed by humans for over 10,000 years. Bees collect nectar and transform it into honey to use as a food source, and people harvest excess honey by keeping bees in artificial hives. Honey has many uses as a sweetener, flavoring, and ingredient in foods and beverages, as well as traditional medicines and religious practices. The pollen in raw honey can also provide environmental information about an area.
Honey bees live in highly social colonies where members cooperate to gather food, shelter, and protect one another. Their social structure contains three castes - queens, drones, and workers. Queens are the only reproductive females and lay all the eggs. Drones are male bees that fertilize the queen. Workers are sterile females that perform all colony maintenance tasks, from building comb to foraging. Workers progress through indoor and outdoor labor activities over their lifespan, including secreting wax, feeding brood, and collecting nectar. They communicate food sources to each other through round and waggle dances. Honey bees demonstrate an organized division of labor that is essential for colony survival.
The behaviors of eating, sleeping and crying in animals are innate behaviors that are genetically programmed and not learned. An example of an innate behavior is a fixed action pattern exhibited by parent gulls, which will regurgitate food for their chicks in the same sequence in response to chick tapping, even if the stimulus is removed. Learned behaviors develop through experience and include habituation where an animal stops responding to a stimulus after repeated exposure, as well as conditioning where an association is formed between a stimulus and response through reinforcement.
This document defines several terms related to animal behavior and summarizes the major types of behaviors exhibited by animals. It discusses instinct, habituation, conditioning, reinforcement, reasoning, and intelligence. The major types of behaviors covered include sexual, maternal, communicative, social, feeding, eliminative, and shelter-seeking. Examples are provided for each type of behavior.

Key structures are defined for each insect group, such as the segmented body, antennae, wings, legs, mouthparts, circulatory and digestive systems. The exercises aim to teach insect morphology and aid in identification of specimens.
This document discusses the anatomy and structures of the insect head and appendages. It begins by describing how the insect body is segmented and then grouped into three main tagmata: the head, thorax, and abdomen. It then focuses on the structures and segmentation of the insect head, including the sclerites, sutures, mouthparts, and types of heads based on mouthpart positioning. The document also discusses the antennae and its various modifications, as well as the structures and modifications of the legs between different insect orders.
This document provides an overview of the course ZOO 305: Basic Entomology at Lagos State University. It discusses the definition and content of entomology as the study of insect biology, ecology, and importance. The course will cover the external features of insects including the head, thorax, abdomen, wings, and legs. It will also examine insect orders, ecology, population dynamics, and economic importance. The document uses the American cockroach as a model to describe insect morphology and external anatomy in detail over several pages.
This document provides an overview of the classification of living organisms. It discusses the plant and animal kingdoms and provides details on the classification of plants, including non-vascular plants (algae and bryophytes) and vascular plants (pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms). It also covers the classification of animals, including a discussion of the five vertebrate classes: pisces, amphibia, reptilia, aves, and mammalia. Key characteristics and examples are provided for each category of organisms.
This document provides information on the external features of insects including the head, antennae, thorax and abdomen. It discusses the three main body segments or tagmata of insects: the head, thorax, and abdomen. The head contains features like compound eyes, simple eyes, antennae and mouthparts. There are three types of insect heads: hypognathous, prognathous and opisthognathous. Antennae have different structures and serve sensory functions. The thorax contains the wings and legs. The abdomen contains structures like the tympanum, spiracles, anus and genitalia.
Butterflies have a complete metamorphosis life cycle from egg to caterpillar to pupa to adult. Caterpillars consume plant leaves as they grow and develop various defenses like camouflage and stinging hairs. During pupation, the caterpillar undergoes transformation within its hardened case. As an adult, a butterfly has two pairs of colorful, scaled wings and a coiled proboscis for drinking nectar from flowers. Butterflies play important ecological roles through pollination and as both a food source and pest.
Insect body segmentation , all about the parts of insect body , body parts of...priyanshu219301
The document summarizes insect body segmentation. It discusses that the insect body is divided into three main regions - the head, thorax, and abdomen. The head contains mouthparts, eyes, and antennae. The thorax contains three segments - the prothorax, mesothorax, and metathorax. Each thoracic segment contains a pair of legs, and the mesothorax and metathorax also contain wings. The abdomen contains 7-11 segments and genital appendages on the 8th and 9th segments. Each body region and segment contains hardened plates or sclerites that provide structure and points of muscle attachment.
Honey bees live together in large, well-organized colonies. A bee colony consists of the queen, hundreds of drones, and thousands of workers. Each member has a specific role and task that is necessary for the survival of the colony. The queen lays eggs, drones fertilize the queen, and workers perform all other tasks like building comb, feeding larvae, collecting nectar, and defending the hive. Communication and cooperation allow the social organization of bees to function successfully.
microRNA in Plant Defence and Pathogen Counter-defenceMahtab Rashid
The presentation is about the role of microRNA in plant defence and the pathogen counter-defences which they adopt to escape or evade the plant defence mechanism.
The document discusses the classification of bacteria. It explains that reliable classification is important for scientists to track the tremendous variety of microorganisms. Historically, classification has changed as new techniques became available, moving from morphology-based to genetics-based approaches. Modern classification is based on phenotypic characteristics like Gram staining and biochemical reactions as well as genotypic analysis including rRNA sequencing, DNA-DNA hybridization, and G+C content. Bacteria can be classified by their morphology, staining, culture characteristics, environmental requirements, and pathogenicity.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) uses multiple methods to control pests in an agricultural system. The backbone of IPM is the economic injury level concept. Reasons for adopting IPM include the development of pest resistance, secondary pest outbreaks from overuse of pesticides, and environmental and human health hazards from chemical contamination. IPM involves understanding the agricultural ecosystem, planning for low-cost and environmentally friendly pest control, and using a variety of control methods like cultural practices, host plant resistance, biological and chemical methods to maintain pest populations below economic thresholds. The objective of IPM is to reduce pest damage in a sustainable way without complete elimination of pests.
This document discusses recent methods of pest control, including anti-feedants, insect attractants, insect repellents, genetic control, and insect growth regulators. Anti-feedants inhibit insect feeding without impairing appetite. Insect attractants use chemicals like pheromones and food lures to draw insects towards traps. Genetic control methods include sterile male release technique and inducing sterility through chemicals or radiation. Insect growth regulators interfere with insect growth and development by mimicking or blocking hormones like juvenile hormone and ecdysone. Overall, the document provides an overview of various modern biological and chemical pest control techniques.
High density orcharding in fruit crops.Mahtab Rashid
This document discusses high density orcharding techniques for fruit crops. High density orcharding involves planting fruit trees or plants at closer spacing than traditional methods to increase yields. Key aspects of high density orcharding include using dwarfing rootstocks, specific training and pruning methods, and growth regulators to control vegetative growth and maximize productivity per plant. Examples show yields can increase by 200-250% using high density spacing for crops like mango, citrus, banana and guava. Studies on apple orcharding found the highest cumulative yields and leaf area index using a spacing of 2.5m x 2.5m. Severe pruning in alternate rows every three years is proposed as a strategy for high density orchards.
This document discusses biological control, which is the use of natural enemies to reduce pest populations. It defines biological control as the intentional introduction of natural enemies into an area to control pest populations. There are several types of natural enemies used in biological control, including parasites, parasitoids, and predators. The document provides examples of successful biological control projects, such as using the vedalia beetle to control cottony cushion scale on fruit trees in India in the 1920s-1930s, using the weevil Cyrtobagous salviniae to control the invasive water fern Salvinia molesta in a Bangalore pond in the 1980s, and introducing various weevils and mites from the 1980s onward to
Horticulture plays an important role in addressing malnutrition issues. It can solve India's malnutrition problems due to the rich nutrient content of fruits and vegetables. Nearly half of Indian children under 3 are underweight or stunted, which will impact future workforce development. Horticulture is also economically, aesthetically, and environmentally important. It provides high yields, returns, and employment while improving air quality and preventing erosion. Focusing on horticulture can better utilize land and meet calorie needs compared to field crops like wheat. It also supports industries and employment throughout the year.
This document discusses the Hardy-Weinberg law of genetic equilibrium. It states that in a large, randomly mating population, the frequencies of genotypes will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of evolutionary influences like mutation, migration, genetic drift and non-random mating. The law establishes that the frequency of alleles A and a will be p and q, and the frequencies of genotypes AA, Aa and aa will be p^2, 2pq and q^2 respectively, where p + q = 1. The document provides examples of calculating genotype and gamete frequencies under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
This document discusses the potential benefits of genetically modified (GM) crops for long-term food and nutritional security. It notes that hundreds of millions of people worldwide suffer from malnutrition and hunger. GM crops could help address this by developing varieties that are drought resistant, salt tolerant, or more nutritious. Current GM crops include Bt cotton, golden rice, Bt brinjal, flavr savr tomato, Bt corn, and roundup ready crops. The document argues that with further development, GM technology could yield crops with improved yields, reduced pesticide use, enhanced nutrition, and other benefits to help ensure global food security.
The life cycle of honey bees consists of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Eggs are laid by the queen bee and can be fertilized or unfertilized. Fertilized eggs become worker bees or queen bees, while unfertilized eggs become male drones. Larvae emerge from eggs and develop through four molting stages before forming a pupa. Inside the sealed pupa case, the larvae undergoes metamorphosis to emerge as adult bees. The life cycle takes longest for queen bees and shortest for worker bees.

1.
2.
3. Head of queen bee and worker bee is triangular while that of drone bee is anterio posteriorly flattened in all
the three caste. The head consists of :-
EYES
Seeing apparatus consists of compound eyes and 3 small simple eyes called ocelli.
Compound eye made of light sensitive cells called ommatida.
FUNCTION- Compound eye – distinguish light and colour and to detect directional information from sun rays
Simple eyes – determine amount of light present in environment.
EYES OF WORKER & QUEEN BEE EYES OF DRONE BEE
Compound eyes do not meet at the
vertex.
Compound eyes are large, black,
kidney-shaped and unite at the top
head.
4. ANTENNAE
Pair of sensitive receptors placed in socket like membrane in head.
FUNCTION- Feel or to touch and to smell , thus guides the honey bee
Also measure flight speed.
MANDIBLES
Pair of jaws suspended from head and parts of the bee’s mouth
FUNCTION- Help to eat the pollen , cut and shape the wax, clean the hive,
groom themselves and fight. Thus, act as grasping instrument.
PROBOSCIS / TONGUE
FUNCTION- Help in drinking water or lapping nectar, honey.
Exchange of food between the bees.
It is a temporary organ formed by assembling parts of maxillae and the
labium .
It is released only when required to draw liquids such as nectar,
water, honey and sweet juices.
5. Armour plated mid section of honey bee.
Composed of 4 segments namely prothorax, mesothorax, metathorax and propodium.
It supports 3 pair of legs and 2 pair of wings.
Thus, thorax acts as the locomotory organ of honey bee.
LEGS
Each pair jointed into six segments with a pair of claws at the tip to help
the insect to cling to surfaces. The three section of legs are:
i. FORELEG / PROTHORACIC LEGS- 3 important structures present on it are :-
a. Eye brush- constituted by hairs on tibia
b. Antennae cleaner- further consists of vellum/ fibula & antenna comb
c. Pollen brush- bristles on basitarsus form pollen brush.
6.
7. ii. MIDDLE LEGS/ MESOTHORACIC LEGS- 2 important structures are:-
a. Pollen brush- formed by stiff hairs on basitarsus , collect pollen from mid body parts.
b. Tibial spur- movable spur present at distal end of tibia, loosen pollen pellets
from pollen basket on hind legs and clean wings and spiracles.
iii. HIND LEGS/ METATHORACIC LEGS – 3 important structures are:-
a. Pollen basket/ corbicula- enable bee to carry loads of pollen and propolis.
b. Pollen packer / pollen press- consists of pecten ( row of stout bristles at
distal end of tibia) and auricle ( small plate fringed with hairs at basal end ).
c. Pollen comb
WINGS
It is 2 layered, born on mesothoracic and metathoracic segment.
It function in worker bee is both flight and ventilating the hive.
2 types of wings in honey bee are:-
i. FOREWING – larger than hind wing and used for flight and cooling mechanism.
ii. HINDWING- at times attach with forewings by hooks called hamuli to work together.
8. Adult honey bee has 9 segment whereas the larva has 10 segments.
First abdominal segment fused with metathorax and known as propodium.
Second abdominal segment is constricted and is called petiole / pedicel.
Subsequent segments are known as gaster.
A pair of wax glands are present underside of 4th -7th segments.
Scent gland present in between 6th – 7th segment meant for communication.
2 important organs present on the abdomen are the sting and spiracles.
STING
It is modified ovipositor and serves as instrument of defence.
SPIRACLE
Breathing pores present on sides of thorax and abdomen .
