During the brood raising season, the bees may reuse the cells from which brood has emerged for additional brood or convert it to honey or pollen storage. (wikipedia.org)
Bees show remarkable flexibility in adapting cells to a use best suited for the hive's survival. (wikipedia.org)
Honey bees tend to greatly expand the brood chamber as the season progresses. (wikipedia.org)
The relative location of the brood chamber within the beehive may also change as bee keepers add more boxes or as wild bees build fresh comb into available cavities. (wikipedia.org)
In feral hives the honeybees tend to put the brood at bottom center of the cavity, and honey to the sides and above the brood, so beekeepers are trying to follow the natural tendency of the bees. (wikipedia.org)
In the mid to late spring, just before a bee hive would naturally split by swarming, beekeepers often remove frames of brood, with adhering bees, to make up new starter hives, called "nucs" or nucleus colonies. (wikipedia.org)
This ensures that there will be enough adult bees to provide the brood the adequate temperature and sufficient feed if there are a few rainy days when bees cannot gather nectar. (wikipedia.org)
Drone brood cells are larger than the cells of female worker bees. (wikipedia.org)
When the bee is fully developed, and emerges from the capped cell, the foundress mite and her daughters emerge and attach to adult bees. (usda.gov)
Most commonly, phoretic mites attach to young worker bees tending developing brood (i.e., nurse bees). (usda.gov)
Nurse bees are the target of phoretic mites because the bees remain in the brood area and can serve as a vehicle to transport mites to brood cells. (usda.gov)
Phoretic mites can feed on adult bees, but when a brood cell of suitable age is found, the mite will detach and enter the cell to reproduce. (usda.gov)

Organism7
The organism survives through successive cycles of brood rearing . (google.com)
The life cycle of an organism in the model begins with a single reproductive cell. (mpg.de)
Once the organism is mature, it reproduces, with each reproductive cell (green) becoming a new organism and each somatic cell (white) dying. (mpg.de)
This type of organism evolution has paved the way for deeper specialization of somatic cells and thus for the amazing complexity of multicellular animals. (mpg.de)
From the perspective of a cell in an organism, however, the guaranteed extinction of its lineage seems to be the worst possible evolutionary outcome. (mpg.de)
From the perspective of the organism, in turn, the extinction of vegetative cell lineages at the end of their life cycle is actually a waste of resources. (mpg.de)
it develops when the presence of already few somatic (vegetative) cells contributes to increased growth of the organism. (mpg.de)
Cocoon1
She then exudes bacteria from her antenna into the cocoon, lacing prey and brood with the antibiotic streptomycin (the second most medically useful antibiotic after penicillin). (phys.org)

Reproduction5
Reproduction: How can the division of labor of cells prevail? (mpg.de)
In complex organisms, two basic types of cells are found: on the one hand, reproductive cells, which are responsible only for the reproduction of the living being, and on the other hand, cells specialized for the vegetative functions of the body. (mpg.de)
This division of cells is irreversible, that is, the vegetative cell type produces only vegetative cells that are no longer involved in the process of reproduction. (mpg.de)
This means that the specialization of the vegetative cells, which can concentrate entirely on one function without having to deal with reproduction, has a positive effect on the body in question. (mpg.de)
