Evaluation of the time of uncapping and removing dead brood from cells by hygienic and non-hygienic honey bees2005 •
Most research on hygienic behavior has recorded the time taken by the colony to remove an experimental amount of dead brood, usually after one or two days. We evaluated the time that hygienic (H) and non-hygienic (NH) honey bees take to uncap and remove dead brood in observation hives after the brood was killed using the pin-killing assay. Four experimental colonies were selected as the extreme cases among 108 original colonies. Thirty brood cells were perforated with a pin in two H and two NH colonies and observations were made after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 24 h. Different stages of uncapping and removing were recorded. Differences in uncapping and removal between H and NH colonies were significant for all comparisons made at the different times after perforation. Using observation hives one obtains a better and faster discrimination between H and NH colonies than in full size colonies. It is possible to differentiate H and NH within a few hours after perforating the cells.

The cavity-nesting Apis mellifera and Apis cerana bees detect, uncap, and remove diseased brood. The hygiene behaviour of open-air-nesting bees Apis dorsata and Apis laboriosa was investigated in India and Nepal. Sealed A. dorsata pupae were pin-killed or deep-frozen. The workers removed 73 or 37% of damaged pin-killed pupae depending on the diameter of the pins, and only 7% of the frozen undamaged pupae. Migrating A. dorsata and A. laboriosa left unopened the sealed brood in deserted combs. Thus, A. dorsata and A. laboriosa do not open undamaged cells with dead brood. This behaviour is a more efficient mechanism in preventing the spread of diseases and parasitic mites than uncapping and removing dead pupae by A. mellifera and A. cerana. It may be beneficial for migrating A. dorsata and A. laboriosa to temporarily disuse part of the comb cells in exchange for arresting the mites there and thus reducing the increase of their population.
The present investigations were carried out in apiary,. Evaluation of colonies for the hygienic behaviour was done by using " pin killed " methodology. Twenty colonies were selected for this study. These colonies were divided into two categories: healthy colonies (HC) and European foul brood infected colonies (IC). Three frames of brood were taken out from every colony and killed by entomological pin. The pin killed brood cells were marked for the purpose of identification and the observations were recorded at 24 h and 48 h. The pin killed brood assay revealed the removal if killed cells within 24 h and 48 h. The mean removal of killed cells by worker bees in IC is significantly higher than in HC. Our study provides a clue of the importance of this behaviour in removal of pest and diseases infected brood from colony.

El estudio de la institución notarial en Medina Sidonia desde su incorporación a la Corona de Castilla en el siglo XIII hasta la conclusión del siglo XV es el objeto del presente trabajo. Se atiende especialmente al oficio de la escribanía pública de la ciudad, pero no queda desatendida la actuación de notarios en otros ámbitos de escrituración, como la escribanía del concejo. Asimismo, se ofrecen algunos datos sobre los escribanos del rey y los notarios apostólicos actuantes en Medina. La investigación ha permitido descubrir no solo la trayectoria profesional completa de un considerable número de miembros del oficio escribanil, sino también aspectos de especial interés para el conocimiento de la institución, como, entre otros, la nominación, título, número o funciones de los escribanos públicos y sus subalternos.

Open Access PDF Available free from www.uclpress.co.uk/ScienceofNaples Long neglected in the history of Renaissance and early modern Europe, in recent years scholars have revised received understanding of the political and economic significance of the city of Naples and its rich artistic, musical and political culture. Its importance in the history of science, however, has remained relatively unknown. The Science of Naples provides the first dedicated study of Neapolitan scientific culture in the English language. Drawing on contributions from leading experts in the field, this volume presents a series of studies that demonstrate Neapolitans’ manifold contributions to European scientific culture in the early modern period and considers the importance of the city, its institutions and surrounding territories for the production of new knowledge. Individual chapters demonstrate the extent to which Neapolitan scholars and academies contributed to debates within the Republic of Letters that continued until deep into the nineteenth century. They also show how studies of Neapolitan natural disasters yielded unique insights that contributed to the development of fields such as medicine and volcanology. Taken together, these studies resituate the city of Naples as an integral part of an increasingly globalised scientific culture, and present a rich and engaging portrait of the individuals who lived, worked and made scientific knowledge there.
