| bee | 1. <zoology> An insect of the order Hymenoptera, and family Apidae (the honeybees), or family Andrenidae (the solitary bees) See Honeybee. There are many genera and species. The common honeybee (Apis mellifica) lives in swarms, each of which has its own queen, its males or drones, and its very numerous workers, which are barren females. Besides the A. Mellifica there are other species and varieties of honeybees, as the A. Ligustica of Spain and Italy; the A. Indica of India; the A. Fasciata of Egypt. The bumblebee is a species of Bombus. The tropical honeybees belong mostly to Melipoma and Trigona. 2. A neighborly gathering of people who engage in united labour for the benefit of an individual or family; as, a quilting bee; a husking bee; a raising bee. "The cellar . . . Was dug by a bee in a single day." (S. G. Goodrich) Pieces of hard wood bolted to the sides of the bowsprit, to reeve the fore-topmast stays through; called also bee blocks. <zoology> Bee beetle, a bird that eats the honeybee, as the European flycatcher, and the American kingbird. <botany> Bee flower, the larva of the bee beetle.

| bee sting | Stings from bees and other large stinging insects such as yellow jackets, hornets and wasps can trigger allergic reactions varying greatly in severity. Avoidance and prompt treatment are essential. In selected cases, allergy injection therapy is highly effective. (The three A's of insect allergy are Adrenaline, Avoidance and Allergist.) (12 Dec 1998) |
| bee sting kit | An emergency kit carried by those who have a history of sudden and severe allergic reactions to bee stings. The kit generally includes a antihistamine pill and a self-administered adrenaline injection. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bee toxin | The toxin delivered by a bee sting; contains three active principles: biogenic amines, active peptides, and certain hydrolytic enzymes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dog bee | A male or drone bee. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| amphibian venoms | Venoms produced by frogs, toads, salamanders, etc. The venom glands are usually on the skin of the back and contain cardiotoxic glycosides, cholinolytics, and a number of other bioactive materials, many of which have been characterised. The venoms have been used as arrow poisons and include bufogenin, bufotoxin, bufagin, bufotalin, histrionicotoxins, and pumiliotoxin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ant venoms | Venoms from the superfamily formicoidea, ants. They may contain protein factors and toxins, histamine, enzymes, and alkaloids and are often allergenic or immunogenic. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthropod venoms | Venoms from animals of the phylum arthropoda. Those most investigated are from scorpions and spiders of the class arachnidae and from ant, bee, and wasp families of the insecta order hymenoptera. The venoms contain protein toxins, enzymes, and other bioactive substances and may be lethal to man. (12 Dec 1998) |
| venoms | Poisonous animal secretions forming fluid mixtures of many different enzymes, toxins, and other substances. These substances are produced in specialised glands and secreted through specialised delivery systems (nematocysts, spines, fangs, etc.) for disabling prey or predator. (12 Dec 1998) |
| viper venoms | Venoms from snakes of the viperid family. They tend to be less toxic than elapid or hydrophid venoms and act mainly on the vascular system, interfering with coagulation and capillary membrane integrity and are highly cytotoxic. They contain large amounts of several enzymes, other factors, and some toxins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cnidarian venoms | Venoms from jellyfish, coral, sea anemone, nematocysts, etc. They contain haemo-, cardio-, dermo- , and neurotoxic substances and probably enzymes. They include palytoxin, sarcophine, and anthopleurine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cobra venoms | Venoms from snakes of the genus naja (family elapidae). They contain many specific proteins that have cytotoxic, haemolytic, neurotoxic, and other properties. Like other elapid venoms, they are rich in enzymes. They include cobramines and cobralysins. (12 Dec 1998) |
