| Bees | | ...ees. The oldest bee fossils date back to 80 million years ago.
The body of the bee - as normally is the case with all insects - comprises three parts: head, chest, abdomen. The facial features include - eyes, two sensors which serve as a nose, mouth and mouth parts comprising two strong mandibles (jaws) and a proboscis. There are two pairs of thin wings and six legs attached to the chest. But the largest part of the body, the yellow-black ‘ringed’ abdomen with the poisonous sting, is the hallmark of t... | | |
| ...e from the open air, they are mainly encountered in greenhouses. After hatching from pupae, the females start feeding immediately. They drill small holes in the top surface of plants’ leaves using their ovipositors and suck up liquid with their mouth parts. The damaged areas on the leaf tissue (which also enable bacteria and fungi to penetrate into the plant) are clearly visible as yellowish stains.
The males live on nectar or honeydew but they can live without nutrition until they mate. The...
...larval stage the bodies of the larvae can reach lengths of up to 3 mm. The bodies are yellowish-white in colour and have no legs. The larvae remain in the leaf and bite twisting (serpentine like) passageways into the cell tissues by moving their mouth hooks up and down. Hence the English name "Serpentine leafminers" for the genus Liriomyza. The outer layer of the leaves remains intact.
After 4 days the larvae are fully developed and leave the leaves’ interior, through a slit, in ord... | | |

In some species the wings are much smaller and in others the larger pair of wings is missing. A notable characteristic of the adult insect is the elongation of the mouth parts; this has earned it the name „Schnabelfliege“ in German (Schnabel = beak ; Fliege = fly).
The larvae look like caterpillars, but have real legs on the chest and abdomen segments. A fork placed on the last abdomen segment also serves the mov... | | |

The front part of the head is shaped like a muzzle and the mouth parts are designed for sucking up liquid food such as nectar and for chewing pollen. Hoverflies have distinctive markings on their forewings. | | |
| | ...er side of this, is a thick line of hair which the bee uses to brush off pollen remains. Pollen is transported to the hive in "baskets" made out of an arrangement of hairs, also located on the hind legs. Like all bees, the honey bee has mouth parts, which can lap up sweet plant secretions (nectar and honeydew). Nectar is transported in part of the stomach called the "honey stomach". Other bees on the same level in the hive are supplied with nectar by this bee.

| | Panorpidae | | ...amily of the order Mecoptera. There are approximately 100 species globally of which only 5 species of the genus Panorpa are found in Central Europe. These often have a body length of 18 mm. The Panorpidae have an elongated head (beak shaped) with mouth parts for chewing and biting. The flies have 4 large dark wings, which are worn on the back when the flies rest. At the end of the abdomen the males have a genital segment, formed like a scorpion sting, while the end of the females’ abdomen is poin... | | |

The areas in which propolis is used include the following: the treatment of inflammations in the oral cavity, cancer therapy, wound care, acne therapy, sunburn, dental hygiene, pain relief for mouth ulcers and strengthening of the immune system. In some pets it is used to fight or prevent worms.
A risk exists for people who are allergic to propolis. . Although in most cases, skin irritation and blistering can be observed, the occurrence of ... | | |

| | ...shape of mosquitoes varies but rarely exceeds 15 mm in length. Their bodies are slender, with relatively long legs. The wings are membranous and sometimes scaly. The head has 2 long antennae with many segments. The females also have a proboscis. The mouth parts of the males are not suitable for stinging. | | |

The bite of a horse fly can penetrate clothing and is much more painful than the sting of a mosquito due to the larger mouth parts. Horse flies are considered a risk to humans and animals, especially in Africa, as they carry diseases.
