Living 'loose' to avoid extinction?
At least that is the secret of bees, when the 'couple' queen bees with 15 or more partners will build stronger, more crowded beehives.
>>>Herds are willing to oppress the opponent fiercely
The latest study by entomologists shows that the secret of the big beehives is that their queen is not faithful, 'life in life' with a single mate . The more the queen bee has a more free sexual life, the more honeycomb it contains. Both herds are generally healthier and have higher fertility.
The colonies of bees with queen bees will be "free"
The trend is more healthy, more reproductive.
According to DailyMail , scientists believe that bacteria is the key factor to determine the health of bees . Like humans, they also benefit from microbes. The "loose" bees will be more genetically diverse, and appear to be more in harmony with the bacteria.
The finding is believed to help preserve bees, which are alarmingly declining in recent times due to epidemics.'Diverse bees will own about 1100 beneficial bacteria, while this figure in pure bees is just over 700,' said Heather Mattila of Wellesley University.
However, the life of the ' queen ' is a rather unusual behavior in insects. Most queen bees, queen ants and wasps are only paired with a single mate and create honey colonies closely related.
