Bees Information :

Bees include the honey bee, the so-called Africanized honey bee (also known as "killer bee"), and the bumble bee. Bumble bees are large, furry-appearing bees that fulfill the beneficial role of pollinating many plants. Honeybees, also active plant pollinators, are found all over the world. While honey bees are not usually aggressive, they will sting if bothered or threatened. Because their wings flap so rapidly, their presence is associated with a buzzing sound. The behavior of the "killer bees" may be more aggressive, they may chase victims when agitated and may also attack in greater numbers, thereby increasing the chances of a severe reaction to their stings.

Size:

2 mm (0.08 in) in length to rather large insects up to 4 cm (1.6 in) long.

Common Bee Species Found in Australia :

Carpenters Bees
Honey Bees

Behavior :

A colony of bees consists of a queen, several thousand workers, and, in certain seasons, a few hundred drones. A queen can lay as many as 2,000 eggs in a single day. In her four to five years of life she produces about two million eggs. More than 80,000 bees can live in a single colony. The primary function of the queen is to lays eggs; the workers are sterile females that supply the colony with food, guard the nest, and build the combs. These females live about four or five weeks. The drones are fertile males who fly out at certain times of the year to mate with new queens. The bees use hexagonal cells to rear their brood and to store their food. Honey is gathered in the upper part of the comb, and beneath it, in descending order, are rows of pollen-storage cells, worker brood cells, and drone brood cells. Bee colonies are perennial, with the queen and workers overwintering in the hive. Bee colonies propagate by swarms. Bees have impressive communication abilities.

Habitat :

They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants

Symptoms :

Symptoms include pain, swelling, warmth, and redness at the site of the sting. Itching may also be present. These symptoms begin immediately following the sting and often last for only a few hours. Systemic (body-wide) allergic reactions occur in people who have produced a type of antibody known as IgE antibody against the same insect venom as a result of a previous sting. Symptoms include hives and flushing of the skin and difficulty breathing due to swelling of the pharynx and epiglottis and narrowing of the bronchial passages. The reaction may vary in severity from mild skin hives to life-threatening reactions. The most severe immunologic reactions are known as anaphylaxis. Toxic reactions are a direct result of toxins in the venom rather than the body's immune response. Most often these are due to multiple simultaneous stings that introduce an unusually large amount of venom into the body. Symptoms can include fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fainting or dizziness, and convulsions.

Health Concerns :

Bees and wasp stings may produce local reactions or systemic (body-wide) allergic reactions. Localized pain, redness, and swelling are the most common reaction to a sting. Severe allergic reactions to stings are known as anaphylactic reactions and may be life-threatening. Treatment of a local reaction involves cleansing, removal of the stinging apparatus if present, and application of ice packs. Epinephrine is the treatment of choice for severe allergic reactions. A self-administered injectable form of epinephrine is available for individuals at risk for anaphylactic reactions.
