Termite and Honey Bee 白蚁和蜜蜂

Planing to kill termites but end up killed termites together with more then thousand of honey bee at Sri Petaling Kuala Lumpur on 8th Jan 2013 (Tuesday). This was because the honey bee nest  is near to the termite place. When sprayed the termite poison to kill termites after a while a lot of honey bee flew to the fluoresent light and second morning saw alot of  bees died on the floor.

Termites are a group of eusocial insects that, until recently, were classified at the taxonomic rank of order Isoptera (see taxonomy below), but are now accepted as the epifamily Termitoidae, of the cockroach order Blattodea. While termites are commonly known, especially in Australia, as "white ants", they are only distantly related to the ants.

Like ants, and some bees and wasps—which are all placed in the separate order Hymenoptera—termites divide labor among castes, produce overlapping generations and take care of young collectively. Termites mostly feed on dead plant material, generally in the form of wood, leaf litter, soil, or animal dung, and about 10% of the estimated 4,000 species (about 2,600 taxonomically known) are economically significant as pests that can cause serious structural damage to buildings, crops or plantation forests. Termites are major detritivores, particularly in the subtropical and tropical regions, and their recycling of wood and other plant matter is of considerable ecological importance


白蚁和蜜蜂

2013年1月8日（星期二）在吉隆坡大城堡去杀死白蚁，但最终杀死白蚁，连同超过一千蜜蜂。这是因为蜜蜂巢是靠近白蚁的地方。当喷在白蚁的毒杀白蚁后，虽然有很多的蜜蜂飞到荧光灯, 第二天早上看到很多的蜜蜂死在地上。

白蚁是，直到最近在分类地位等翅目，被列为一组典型的社会性昆虫，但现在接受的 epifamily Termitoidae，蟑螂为了蜚蠊。白蚁俗称，尤其是在澳大利亚，“白蚂蚁”，他们是远亲的蚂蚁。

蚂蚁一样，和一些蜜蜂和黄蜂，这都放置在单独的命令，膜翅目白蚁分工之间的种姓，世代重叠，照顾年幼的集体。白蚁多为死去的植物材料为食，一般木，枯枝落叶，土壤或动物粪便的形式，并估计有4000种的10％左右（约2,600分类学上被称为）是经济上重要害虫，可能会导致严重的结构性损坏对建筑物，农作物或人工林。的白蚁主要食腐，特别是在亚热带和热带地区，其回收的木材和其他植物是相当大的生态重要性
