Honey For Wound Healing, Ulcers, And Burns; Data Supporting Its Use In Clinical Practice

The widespread existence of unhealed wounds, ulcers, and burns has a great impact on public health and the economy. Many interventions, including new medications and technologies, are being used to help achieve significant wound healing and to eliminate infections.

Honey Based Skin Care Preparation

Concerning skin care preparations, a wound dressing is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,671,267 wherein a polymer matrix containing a water-soluble humectant is used.

Comparison Of The Antibacterial Activity Of Honey From Different Provenance Against Bacteria Usually Isolated From Skin Wounds

The antibacterial activity of honey samples provided by apiarists and honey packers was tested against microorganisms usually isolated from skin wounds. The antibacterial activity was tested using the well-agar diffusion assay. The honey samples were tested without dilution, and at 75, 50, 30, and 10% (w/v) dilution

Queen Promiscuity Lowers Disease Within Honeybee Colonies

Most species of social insects have singly mated queens, but in some species each queen mates with numerous males to create a colony with a genetically diverse worker force. The adaptive significance of polyandry by social insect queens remains an evolutionary puzzle. Using the honeybee (Apis mellifera), we tested the hypothesis that polyandry improves a colony’s resistance to disease.

Genetic Diversity Within Honeybee Colonies Prevents Severe Infections And Promotes Colony Growth

Multiple mating by social insect queens increases the genetic diversity among colony members, thereby reducing intracolonic relatedness and lowering the potential inclusive ï¬tness gains of altruistic workers. Increased genetic diversity may be adaptive, however, by reducing the prevalence of disease within a nest. Honeybees, whose queens have the highest levels of multiple mating among social insects, were investigated to determine whether genetic variation helps to prevent chronic infections.

Fever In Honeybee Colonies

Honeybees, Apis spp., maintain elevated temperatures inside their nests to accelerate brood development and to facilitate defense against predators. We present an additional defensive function of elevating nest temperature: honeybees generate a broodcomb fever in response to colonial infection by the heat-sensitive pathogen Ascosphaera apis.

Adaptive Significance Of The Age Polyethism Schedule In Honeybee Colonies

The adaptive origins of the honeybee's age polyethism schedule were studied by testing whether the schedule for labor inside the nest reflects a compromise between efficiency in locating tasks and efficiency in performing tasks.

The Value Of Honeybee Pollination To Society

The agronomic and economic value of honeybee effected pollination has been an internationally contentious issue since at least the turn of the century. As early as 1913 horticultural scientists were urging cherry growers in Oregon State of the USA to employ bees for pollination: “…There is little question… that many cherry orchards would be rendered much more productive if their owners would give proper recognition to the known facts regarding the importance of bees in the orchard.” (Oregon Agricultural College Experiment Station 1913).

The Influence Of Honeybee Pollination On Fruit Set Of The Lowbush Blueberry

The importance of honeybees as a supplement to native bees in the pollination of lowbush blueberry has not been clearly established. Several workers have observed that native bees are not particularly abundant in blueberry fields during the period of bloom, and have suggested that fruit set maybe increased substantially by the use of honeybees

Pollination Services In The UK: How Important Are Honeybees? Agriculture, Ecosystems And Environment

Pollination services are known to provide substantial benefits to human populations and agriculture in particular. Although many species are known to provide pollination services, honeybees (Apis mellifera) are often assumed to provide the majority of these services to agriculture.

Agricultural Policies Exacerbate Honeybee Pollination Service Supply-Demand Mismatches Across Europe

Declines in insect pollinators across Europe have raised concerns about the supply of pollination services to agriculture. Simultaneously, EU agricultural and biofuel policies have encouraged substantial growth in the cultivated area of insect pollinated crops across the continent. Using data from 41 European countries, this study demonstrates that the recommended number of honeybees required to provide crop pollination across Europe has risen 4.9 times as fast as honeybee stocks between 2005 and 2010.

A Critique Of Honey And Mumford’s Learning Styles

Honey and Mumford’s contribution in analysing learning styles has been productive in focusing educators’ and trainers’ attention on individual differences in learning situations. Beyond this, though, we feel that their theoretical approach is not altogether helpful and is at times confused and confusing. We also observe that their means of identifying individual styles may be flawed.
