Anesthetics

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Scientific researchers have discovered that honeybees can bite, they not only sting! Further scientific research have revealed that the bites of honeybees act as a natural anesthetic which help the bees to defend themselves against their enemies. The researchers have named the natural anesthetic as 2- heptanone (2H). The 2-heptanone renders small insects and mites paralyzed for anywhere up to 9 minutes. Like the snake bites, the bees sink their mandibles into their opponents and proceed to emit 2H into the lesion in order to numb the targeted area. The most common enemies of the honeybees are wax-moth and parasitic varroa mite. The 2-heptanone (2H) serves as an alarm pheromone which prompts defense mechanisms and acts as a chemical marker which lets other bees know that a flower had already been visited by another bee. Ahead of all, scientists have underlined that the natural anesthetics emitted by bees can be highly beneficial for human beings...
