Hive management genetics of the queen. Queens and drones are selectively bred to increase the production of royal jelly. A good yield per hive is 5 kg per year. Bee venom (apitoxin) is obtained by stimulating the bee with an electric current that incite them to sting, releasing a drop of poison onto a glass slide. The crystallized venom can be collected and processed. In order to get 1 gram of dry venom, it is necessary to collect the apitoxin of 10,000 to 15,000 bees. Bee brood as such is generally not a commercial commodity. However, bee brood is edible, and is
Spaghetti sort parallel computing device. There are then "n" rods to remove so, assuming each contact-and-removal operation takes constant time, the worst-case time complexity of the algorithm is O("n"). Spaghetti sort Spaghetti sort is a linear-time, analog algorithm for sorting a sequence of items, introduced by Alexander Dewdney in his "Scientific American" column. This algorithm sorts a sequence of items requiring O("n") stack space in a stable manner. It requires a parallel processor. For simplicity, assume we are sorting a list of natural numbers. The sorting method is illustrated using uncooked rods of spaghetti: Preparing the "n" rods of spaghetti takes linear
