Wild honey living in the woods | The weather and the environment

More than 20,000 species The bees calculated that they are in the world, none called honey, Apis Mellifera, Humans for millennium, as well as goats, cows or horses. When talking about BeesMost people automatically think of insects of rashes carefully Bees breeders With their special outfit to protect yourself from the bite. However, other cavities can also be found in the colonies of wild symptoms and natural places that produce honey in trees. The book shows Helper Bees. His secret life in the jungleWere, and,, and,, and,, and,.. Photographer Ingographer and scientist Jurgen Toutz, now published by Earth’s fertility publication house in Spanish, which comes into these wonderful social insects nests in Germany’s Floretas, to gain the great importance of the wild population.

The first surprise of researchers studying these wild colonies in Europe is that there are much more than those ideas. Thomas Seele. Their behavior and interesting mechanisms that protect themselves are very surprising when they live closely when they live automatically. For example, bees breeders live with other species in the nests of bee nests, not what is happening, with which they establish positive supplements such as pseudoscorpions, which are one of the major parasites that threaten pullinents. Conservationism has never paid much attention to these insects, because of bees breeding, a sector, which is also considered cattle, has increased in the United States and Europe in these wild colonies in recent years. Above all, bees breeders with a problem of mortality in the rashes and decline of many pollution.

“Hype Bees are very stressful for diseases and parasites operated by humans. Wild bees, clearly, tolerate these problems. When studying what contributes to the success of wild bees, we hope to know how to support controlled bees,” said Emery Toutz, a book writer at the University of Warjberg. “The second important aspect is that the population of the wild bee is configured by the natural choice, not by human choice. In this way, wild bees maintain a genetic treasure that can be basic a day.”

After establishing himself in Spain, a bee breeder who grew up in Germany, Alejandro Machado, but with Galesian’s mother, some German researchers were looking for a cooperation to find a wild Holifer Bees colonies in the trees. “I wrote them and told them: I am in Galicia and here are bees living in trees, walls, and electrical posts …”. Two Toutz co -operatives at the University of Verjburg, Benjamin Rutshman and Patrick Kohl and Jino de Limia, began to monitor the population of these pollution organizations.

These insects require holes for nest, but they are unable to make them themselves, so they often use holes leaving the carpenter in the trees. They choose cavities away from the earth, the way to protect themselves from sweet bears. It is not easy to identify and study these nests that are scattered throughout the forests. However, German researchers in Galicia have found that it is easy when wild bees live in hollow concrete, very accessible and localized electric posts, so they have focused their research on these places. “In the landscapes of non -natural nest habitats, these posts work in artificial hollow trees,” said Rutsman. According to Published Bio protectionAfter checking 214 piles, in 29 they found the bees colonies Bee Mellifera Iberiensis Despite the expansion of some clans in the current bee breeding due to the subspecies of the Iberian Peninsula (dark color), many rashes of bee breeders in the country are still used.

Ornosa Concellon, a insectician, specializes in the alienation of the University of Compilation, separates two types of colonies found in nature: really wild bees unrelated to the population of breeding, “It is very difficult, but who knows it, and the horny keepers here.” Escapes From this second method they are inherent to the nature of the species, because when the colonies reach a certain population, half the bees leave the nest with a queen and look for another solution. Hives and bee breeders are usually pending to change the box before it happens, but this does not always happen. “Finding resources in this area, different flowers, shrubs, lawns and nests, bees can live for themselves, because they are very versatile,” said Ornosa. “In the classroom I have always said that students are not the best conservation: nature works well if we don’t go by putting their hand. We have to interfere with the restoration of the landscape, because yes, but the more natural means that the more natural.”

For Patrick Kohl, another German researchers who oversee the wild colonies in the electric posts in Xinzo de Limia are still fast to make resolutions about this population. As he says, “In general, in most places in Europe, we cannot separate their genetics or morphological science from the bees grown in wild bees.” “Therefore, a crucial problem in our research is whether the wild colonial colleagues will form self -Janata; that is, we will study whether they are stable over time based on their own survival and reproduction.” “Usually accepted as a ‘really wild’ population does not rely on migration of groups from Colemnares. For example, in the study of the study in Galicia, the wild colonies have to produce two to three groups a year to maintain the population.”

Beekeep Galesian Machado argues that he has been looking from electric posts for these bees for years. In his case, this innovation, along with the publications of Sealy and Toutz, has changed the process of viewing bees and maintaining their rashes. He is contrary to the use of very different bees from locals like Buckfast, which are more soft and less bite. Or with constant intervention in the rash, feeding insects or providing health treatments to them. In contrast, try to work as little as possible so that the bees live in the same way for the forest. “All I do is to leave them honey,” he insisted. “There is a conflict of interest here, because how much honey comes out, more money,” Macado said. “I don’t live from honey and I don’t want to live on honey. Certainly that is because of that.”

One of the main surprises of the Ardt and Toutz book addressed, despite the multiple mixtures and hybridisations of current bee breed, bees did not lose their wild appearance. “Why don’t the Holifers who are different from its original appearance as a wolf after many millennial bees?” Tatz asks. “Two reasons describe this fact. First, bees reproductive biology and their intercourse behavior can hinder their reproduction such as cattle or pigs,” the German Professor explained. · “Secondly, on a basis for sexual will, the population and hoplodiploid leads to a very resistant system for the distribution of genes in the hoplodipiloid. When they occur, they occur very slowly. All this prevents rapid evolution in bees.”
