Honey Bee Colony “Ecosystems” - Complex relationships - Interconnected elements - queens, workers, comb, food resources - Groups/castes play critical roles - Balanced equilibrium ALSO -worker/brood ratios -nurse/house/forager bee ratios S. Camazine - Dynamic; can change, respond to and often recover from negative inputs - lost field force = precocious foragers
BUT the balance can be “tipped” resulting in a cascade of negative consequences = serious damage population declines? CCD?
