D'Arcy Thomson, On Growth and Form
Tickner Edwardes, The Lore of the Bee
W. Eric Kelsey, The Spell of the Honey-Bee; bienenkönigin, Ger. 'mother-bee'; Queen-right, Norfolk expression for a queen laying eggs.
T. W. Cowan, The Honey Bee; corbicula, basket formed from the tibia, for carrying propolis and pollen.
Tickner Edwardes, The Lore of the Bee
Frank R. Cheshire, Bees & Beekeeping, Vol. 1. Listen to a hive on the evening of the 8th day after a swarming and the new queens will be heard ‘piping’; a ‘cast’ swarm leaves the hive with the old queen. Place bees in an empty hive and they will form chains, or festoons, to produce wax and make comb
Courtney Dainton, Clock Jacks & Bee Boles
A. M. Foster, Bee Boles and Bee Houses
Andrew Davies, Beekeeping
Tickner Edwardes, The Lore of the Bee
W. Eric Kelsey, The Spell of the Honey-Bee; arrhenotoky, in bees only drones (males) are produced by the parthenogenesis of unfertilized eggs
T. W. Cowan, The Honey Bee
Louis Sutherland, The Life of the Queen Bee
Thomas Seeley, Honeybee Democracy; schwirrlauf, whirring dance performed by worker bees to initiate swarming.
T. W. Cowan, The Honey Bee; Cowan quotes Stahala’s translation of the calls of bees; the swarm emits a ‘shiusi’ as they first emerge from the hive; also known as “the joyful hum”.
Julien Francon, The Mind of the Bees
Maurice Maeterlinck, The Life of the Bee
Benjamin & McCallum, A World Without Bees
Louis Sutherland, The Life of the Queen Bee
H. Malcolm Fraser, Beekeeping in Antiquity; Pliny: smearing lemon balm arrests the bees’ desertion.
I. H. Jackson, Bee-keeping for Beginners; Sainfoin, Holy Clover, Onobrychis viciifolia, used for forage.
T. W. Cowan, The Honey Bee; heftzellen, cells at the top and sides of a comb, where it is affixed to the wooden frame.
Tickner Edwardes, The Lore of the Bee
Robert Graves, The White Goddess; Butes, the renowned bee-keeper of antiquity, sailed with the Argonauts.
Oliver E. Prys-Jones & Sarah A. Corbet, Bumblebees; male bumblebees' courtship behavior varies, depending on habitat, and is described as, variously, ‘patrolling’, ‘racing’, or ‘cruising’. The correct term for a bumblebee queen that has yet to begin laying is a gyne.
