1 The primary cause of COPD is tobacco smoke (through tobacco use or second-hand smoke).  The disease now affects men and women almost equally, due in part to increased tobacco use among women in high-income countries.
Swarming is the process by which a new honey bee colony is formed when the queen bee leaves the colony with a large group of worker bees. In the prime swarm, about 60% of the worker bees leave the original hive location with the old queen. This swarm can contain thousands to tens of thousands of bees.
There are three types (castes) of honey bees: workers, queens and drones (males). Most. people see only the workers, since these. individuals actively gather food for the colony. Queens (reproductive females) may live for up. to five years, and in their prime may produce. 1500 to 2000 eggs per day.
