Subject field(s)
  • Farming Techniques
CONT

In the early 1900s, popular thinking among farmers had led to rejection of the portion of Jeffersonian thought that held individualism to be supreme. Politically, this led to establishment of organizations, such as the Grange. Farmers felt that they should develop and share technological knowledge among themselves. There were two sources of that knowledge. The "systematic agriculturists" looked to the emerging industry as their model. The second group, the "scientific agriculturists", looked to nature as their model, with the objective of rationalizing and formalizing their experiences as "natural historians"(Marcus, 1985). At the same time, land-grant scientists were beginning to have an impact(Rossiter, 1975). It is these philosophies and to these turn-of-the-century farmer-scientist groups that we can trace the roots of much of the current debate on sustainable agriculture.

Subject field(s)
  • Insects, Centipedes, Spiders, and Scorpions
CONT

... a tiny gland in the mouth parts of the queen bee... is the source of a substance that the queen spreads over its own body when grooming itself. Worker bees serve as courtiers. Constantly licking and grooming the queen, they receive a supply of this queen substance [In the event of 2 competing queens, ] the conqueror assumes power and produces a supply of the inhibiting queen substance; thereafter, no additional queen cells are prepared. The queen substance seems to dominate much of the life of the hive. In a flourishing hive with a great many bees... the queen substance becomes so diluted in being shared by a large population that its chemical message is no longer felt everywhere in the hive.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Insectes, mille-pattes, araignées et scorpions
CONT

Les glandes mandibulaires de la reine des abeilles sécrètent une phérormone appelée « substance royale », qui attire les bourdons lors du vol nuptial; elle participe à l'inhibition de la construction des cellules royales dans la ruche, et ferait partie du complexe inhibiteur de l'ovogenèse chez les abeilles ouvrières. Transmise dans toute la colonie par trophalxie (échange de nourriture), la substance royale est d'abord un messager social indiquant aux ouvrières que leur reine est toujours présente et en bonne santé. Après ingestion, elle agit également comme une « hormone », bloquant le développement ovarien des ouvrières.

OBS

De jeunes ouvrières [...] alimentent la reine à la gelée royale dont la composition varie au cours de la vie de cette reine. A partir ce cette nourriture, la reine élabore de la substance royale (ne pas confondre avec la gelée royale produite par les ouvrières) et pond.
