blue orchard bee |
Osmia lignaria |
X-ray of Osmia lignaria cocoons taken in March. The white area of the abdomen is stored fat, which is depleted in these bees. This group of bees had low survival, probably due to being stored indoors over the winter and going into cold storage too late in the season.
Cocoon length 12-14mm. |

Polistes spp. |
Several species of paper wasps search out and kill small hornworms and other tobacco pests. The wasps roll parts of the worms into balls, fly them to their nest, and feed them to their young. Research in the early 1960’s showed the provision of nesting sites near tobacco fields reduced numbers of hornworms and leaf loss. Most people recognize these beneficials as the familiar "stinging" wasps which build paper nests or combs under the eaves of buildings and in dense vegetation. |

Apis mellifera scutellata |
Closeup of Africanized honey bees (AHBs) surrounding a European queen honey bee (EHB), marked with a pink dot for identification. Since AHBs arrived in Texas in 1990, they've mated with EHBs and spread throughout the Southwest. But rather than commingling, AHBs tend to replace EHBs, partly because EHB queen bees mate disproportionately with African drones. |

Africanized honey bee |
Apis mellifera scutellata |
Entomologist David Gilley is part of the team investigating the usurpation of European honey bee colonies by swarms of Africanized honey bees. Because queenless colonies are particularly susceptible to usurpation, the team maintains a group of queenless colonies to lure usurpation swarms into their apiary to be studied. Gilley is shown here requeening one of these "bait colonies." |

For centuries, beekeeping has been a traditional part of Mexican agriculture and a reliable source of income in rural areas. Scientists in the United States have closely followed the arrival of Africanized honey bees and two species of parasitic mites that have created hive management problems and reduced honey production. |

paper wasps |
Polistes spp. |
Paper wasps (Polistes spp. and others) may be seen searching leaves for food. These wasps attack soft bodied insects, such as hornworms, and use them up to feed larval wasps being raised in their nests. These beneficial insects play a role in the natural control of several tobacco pests. Most people recognize these beneficials as the familiar "stinging" wasps which build paper nests or combs under the eaves of buildings and in dense vegetation. |

paper wasps |
Polistes spp. |
Several species of paper wasps search out and kill small hornworms and other tobacco pests. The wasps roll parts of the worms into balls, fly them to their nest, and feed them to their young. Research in the early 1960’s showed the provision of nesting sites near tobacco fields reduced numbers of hornworms and leaf loss. Most people recognize these beneficials as the familiar "stinging" wasps which build paper nests or combs under the eaves of buildings and in dense vegetation. |
