The Acoustic Emission in the Nest of the Honey Bee Depending on the Extreme Weather Conditions

TLACBABA JAROMIR, CERNÝ MICHAL, DOSTAL PETR, PŘIDAL ANTONIN. 2014. The Acoustic Emission in the Nest of the Honey Bee Depending on the Extreme Weather Conditions. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 62(1): 245–254. The vibroacoustic signals are an important part of communication in the honey bees (Apis mellifera L.). The aim of this study was to observe the acoustic emission that varies in a bee colony during diff erent weather phenomena (strong winds and hailstorms) and to estimate the nature and the extent of the reactions of the colony by the analysis of the obtained data. Experiments were carried out in the volume-reduced hives. The specifi c weather phenomena were followed by signifi cant (P < 0.0001) increasing of the intensity of the acoustic emission in the colony in comparison with acoustic emission before or a er the phenomena. Close linear positive relationship was confi rmed between the intensity of wind gusts and intensity of acoustic emission (r = 0.72; P < 0.001). With the increase in the maximum gust of 1 km·h−1, the intensity of acoustic emission increased by 0.1466 mV. The character and degree of reaction of the colony can be estimated with analysis of the measured data. Permeability of vibration signals directly induced weather phenomena through the construction of the experimental hive and the stress in the colony are discussed. Observation of the acoustic emission distributed within the colony is one of the methodical alternatives for research of the vibroacoustic communication in the colony.
