Dr Pádraig Whelan, our Chief Science Officer, was incredibly lucky to capture this video of a recently hatched honey bee queen that had just landed near a hive entrance on her return from a mating flight. • About a week after a queen hatches, she spends about a week making several mating flights; ideally mating with 14-20 drones during that week. On her return from each mating flight, the workers clean the rear end of the queen’s abdomen – as shown in the video. • After a week of mating, she will not mate again and uses stored sperm, from her mating flights, to fertilise her eggs for the rest of her, egg-laying, life. In the wild, honey bee queens have a lifespan of between two to five years but in managed colonies beekeepers often replace the queen every year to ensure maximum egg-laying and strong colonies. • About a week after a queen hatches, she spends about a week making several mating flights; ideally mating with 14-20 drones during that week. On her return from each mating flight, the workers clean the rear end of the queen’s abdomen – as shown in the video. • ApisProtect uses beehive sensor technology and machine learning in its bee monitoring technology. This beekeeping technology combines the sensor data on hive conditions, strength and activity levels with its proprietary big data and machine learning techniques, to deliver a 24/7 early warning system about at-risk hives and give beekeepers actionable insights and to help prevent losses and increase colony productivity. • Visit http://www.apisprotect.com to learn more or follow ApisProtect on • Twitter - / apisprotect • Facebook - / apisprotect • and Instagram - / apisprotect • Our technology is now available in the United States for commercial beekeepers, contact [email protected]. • A limited number of monitors are also available in Ireland and the UK for hobbyist beekeepers, you can purchase online -https://apisprotect.com/product/apisp... • For international customers, please sign up to our newsletter to learn when this technology will be available in your region -https://apisprotect.us19.list-manage....
