Spring swarming is a requirement for honeybee survival – the colony is starting a new hive. Around mid-day, half of the colony leaves their old home with their queen. The migrating swarm is quite impressive with thousands of bees filling the air with loud buzzing. Slowly they coalesce around their queen on a tree limb or other object. From this temporary perch, they send out "scouts" in search of a more permanent home. The scouts will bring information about a new site and the swarm will move away. 3, record 1, English, - migrating%20swarm

Al respecto el suboficial del Cuerpo de Bomberos Voluntarios de Cali, William Rubiano, jefe de turno en la estación del barrio Los Mangos, explicó que un enjambre, “es un montoncito de abejas en la calle o casa, en el parque o colegio, son familias nuevas que salen de la colmena y buscan dónde hacer casa en ese momento. Hablamos entonces de un enjambre migratorio. Estas abejas están descansando y allí se quedan entre tres a cuatros días y se irán, dependiendo de las condiciones, pues su nueva casa debe ser un lugar en fresco, cómodo, amable y sin ruido”. 1, record 1, Spanish, - enjambre%20migratorio

De plus, des croisements eurent lieu dont le résultat fut une africanisation des abeilles du Brésil suivi de l'envahissement de l'Amérique du Sud par des abeilles hybrides considérées à présent comme un fléau au point que, depuis 1965, au Brésil, un décret prohibe l'élevage des abeilles africaines. 2, record 6, French, - abeille%20africaine

The honey plant of an area can be identified by analysis of the pollen present in honey or by direct observation of the foraging patterns of bees. While foraging on different plants, honeybee collects nectar and pollen from these. The pollen is retained in the ripened honey. Thus the honey which bees subsequently store always contain a certain amount of pollen. 4, record 16, English, - honey%20plant

Les plantes nectarifères, pollinifères et productrices de miellat sont des plantes apicoles ou plantes-ressources pour les abeilles. Habituellement, on les désigne aussi sous le vocable de «plantes mellifères». Dans le souci du respect des règles de l'étymologie, cette terminologie devrait normalement être réservée aux plantes nectarifères ou productrices de miellat. Dès lors, une plante exclusivement pollinifère (le noisetier, par exemple) ne peut être qualifiée de plante mellifère. Mais dans le langage courant, les «plantes mellifères» sont devenues synonymes de «plantes apicoles». Même s'il ne s'agit pas d'une erreur grave, encore faut-il être conscient de cet abus de langage. 1, record 16, French, - plante%20apicole

Natural parthenogenesis has been observed in many lower animals(it is characteristic of the rotifers), especially insects, e. g., the aphid. In many social insects, such as the honeybee and the ant, the unfertilized eggs give rise to the male drones and the fertilized eggs o the female workers and queens....
