She is a quirky chemistry whiz who has a kind heart and tries to find the good in everything.

She has a purse that can mix different chemical elements, allowing her to create balls that she uses as explosives or traps. Contents.Publication history Created by and in their spare time while working on another project, Honey Lemon was first intended to appear with the rest of in #17 (December 1998). However, the team first appeared in their own self-titled three-issue miniseries by writer and artist Gus Vasquez, which due to scheduling issues, was published before Alpha Flight #17. The character appeared with the team in a subsequent five-issue miniseries which was launched by Marvel Comics in September 2008.Fictional character biography Aiko Miyazaki was enrolled in the graduate program at the when she was recruited by Naikaku Jōhō Chōsashitsu , Japan's premiere.

Miyazaki's sharp intellect and stunning looks made her a prime candidate for secret agent status, and she was promptly placed on a research and development team consisting of Naichō's top physicists, chemists, and mechanical engineers and put to work creating new technology for the government. Although Miyazaki's team was responsible for several innovations in surveillance technology, by far their most significant invention was a cluster of artificial, miniature wormholes—tiny warps and distortions in the fabric of space-time. At Miyazaki's suggestion, the wormholes were contained within an innocuous woman's purse so they could be applied in the field without attracting undue attention.

It was soon discovered that the wormholes, in conjunction with and cutting-edge, served as ideal storage devices in the field—virtually any object, no matter how large, could be stored in Miyazaki's aptly-named 'Power Purse' for later use.Soon after, the top-secret consortium of Japanese politicians and business entities known as the Giri began recruiting candidates for, which was to become Japan's premiere superhero team. Inspired by the exploits of, Japan's national superhero, Miyazaki persuasively lobbied her superiors in Naichō for a spot on the team. Graduating to full-fledged 'secret agent' status, Miyazaki adopted the code-name 'Honey Lemon' (inspired by her favorite television program of the same name). As the most caring and compassionate member of the team, Honey Lemon quickly found herself at odds with teammate, a tough-talking ex-convict who felt that Honey Lemon received special treatment because of her looks and intellect. However, after several heated squabbles, the two eventually learned to appreciate one another and became good friends.She seemingly became attracted to the team's newest potential recruit, as she kept smiling at him in a flirtatious way.

Later, Honey helped overthrow a menace called Everwraith and saved Japan from destruction. She was only briefly seen afterwards, helping Sunfire out in. Sometime later, a mysterious individual used a machine to mind-control the entire team of Big Hero Six and they were sent to Canada once again, where they fought the newest incarnation of until discovered the plot. Honey Lemon was, along with the rest of the team, brought back to normal, and they all returned to Japan to try to discover who mind-controlled them. Powers and abilities Honey Lemon's (also known as the 'Nano-Purse') contains a series of miniature, artificial, inter-universe wormholes, granting her limited access to an indeterminate number of worlds and dimensions.

The unstable, fluctuating nature of the wormholes makes accurate long-term mapping of them difficult. Before deploying in the field, Honey Lemon typically gathers a large arsenal of supplies, shrinks them to microscopic size using a combination of Pym Particles and cutting-edge nanotechnology, and stores them in miniature pocket universes only accessible via the Power Purse's wormholes. As such, she is able to instantaneously retrieve these items from the Power Purse and restore them to their original size while in the field.The Power Purse's wormholes also grant access to a number of full-sized, inhabited dimensions. For instance, the Microverse planet of Coronar (home world of former Big Hero 6 member ) is accessible through the Power Purse.

The total number of dimensions accessible via the Power Purse has yet to be determined. Although Honey Lemon can use the Power Purse's wormholes as a method of personal transportation, she only does so in rare instances when her life is in danger, as a trip through the Power Purse is often a very unpleasant experience for carbon-based lifeforms.Honey Lemon is a brilliant scientist who often keeps her opponents off-guard by feigning ignorance. As a secret agent of the Naichō intelligence agency, she is extensively trained in various martial arts, including aikido, judo, jujutsu, karate, Shaolin kung fu and tae kwon do.

In the film, Honey Lemon is depicted as a quirky chemistry whiz at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Her ethnicity has also been changed to and can be heard listening to Spanish-language music.

Co-director said 'She's a glass-is-half-full kind of person. But she has this mad-scientist quality with a twinkle in her eye — there's more to Honey than it seems.' Her name is a nickname that was thought of by Fred; her real name is unknown and has not been revealed. Honey Lemon is an excitable person who is in love with her chemistry work and loves showing off her experiments in an almost maniacal way. She is the most respectable and polite of the group and tends to dress in 60's and 70's style clothing. Honey Lemon wears bright pink armor that was built by Hiro with a mechanical purse that can mix different chemical elements, allowing her to create balls that she can use as explosives, traps, or safe exits.Television Honey appears in with Rodriguez reprising the role. In the first episode, 'Baymax Returns', Honey admits that she dislikes violence as she was regretful of using an ice ball on Yama, even though he was going to harm Hiro.

In the episode 'Big Roommates 2', she initially believed that people were totally incapable of being totally evil, despite prior evidence to the contrary. When she learns her chem-purse was stolen and transformed a criminal named Dibs into a monster, she became disillusioned, but was brought back to her senses by Go Go. Honey is shown to be a noisy sleeper: her snoring keeps Gogo awake, and she talks in her sleep which allows others to hear some personal information she would not otherwise want to tell people.

In the episode 'Rivalry Weak', it is revealed that she also attends classes in San Fransokyo Art Institute which is the rival school of SFIT. She also appears to be self-conscious about her height as she seems to be slightly perturbed when called 'Tall Girl' by Karmi and Globby. In 'Something's Fishy', she reveals facts about her high school life, claiming that she 'fell in love' with chemistry as well as a foreign exchange student named Andre. In the season 2 finale, she graduates SFIT. Video games Honey Lemon makes an appearance along with the rest of Big Hero 6 in.

Apis cerana japonica is a subspecies of the eastern honey bee native to Japan. It is commonly known as the Japanese honey bee (ニホンミツバチ, Nihon mitsubachi). This subspecies was determined, through an analysis of mitochondrial DNA, to have originally come from the Korean peninsula.^[1] They have been observed moving into urban areas in the absence of natural predators.^[2]

A. c. japonica is very resistant to the mite Varroa jacobsoni, which is commonly found among A. cerana.^[3] It is also able to adapt to weather extremes, has a long flight duration and is less likely to sting than the western counterpart.^[4]

3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid is a signalling chemical emitted by the orchid Cymbidium floribundum and recognized by Japanese honeybees.^[5]

Use in apiculture[edit]

Beekeepers in Japan attempted to introduce western honey bees (Apis mellifera) for the sake of their high productivity. However, western honey bees have no innate defense against Japanese giant hornets, which can rapidly destroy their colonies.^[6] Japanese honey bees, having evolved alongside the Japanese giant hornet, have numerous defensive strategies against the hornets and so are also used in apiculture in the country.

Hive[edit]

Nest cavity ranges from 10-15 liters with a round comb structure that tends to be uneven. A. c. japonica will also dismantle an old hive before moving on to a new one.^[4]

Pollination[edit]

A. c. japonica pollinates the endangered orchids Cymbidium kanran and Cymbidium goeringii despite not having nectar for the bees to collect, instead releasing pheromones used to orient forager bees returning to the hive as a deception tactic in order to be pollinated.^[7]

Dancing[edit]

A. c. japonica, like many other honey bees, dance in order to inform nestmates of locations for 'effective flower resources'. However, unlike other honey bees, they do not dance for the location of propolis.^[8]

The final chapter of the American campaign is set in the German in 1945, during the. The Soviet Campaign begins shortly after, going through the 5 years of the war against Germany eventually ending with the Soviet victory at the. Blitzkrieg 2 maps.

A. c. japonica also perform short waggle dances after their nest has been scouted by hornets or other competing bees in addition to hive smearing (see Protective Behaviors) to facilitate the protection of the nest.

Protective behaviors[edit]

When threatened by hornets or other competing honey bees, A. c. japonica will dance (see Dancing) and smear plant material at the entrance of the hive. A threat consists of a hornet or competing bee arriving to the home nest and scouting it, smearing it with pheromones. Performing the dance triggers an emergency, bees will travel a short distance to gather plant material. A. c. japonica does not discriminate between plant texture, color, or the part of the plant. The bees will then stand at the hive entrance and chew up the plant to smear the juice over the entrance.

A. c. japonica has a well-known defensive behavior when dealing with hornets which no other honeybee displays. Although a handful of Asian giant hornets can easily defeat the uncoordinated defenses of a honey bee colony, the Japanese honey bee (Apis cerana japonica) has an effective strategy.^[6]

As a hornet enters the hive, a mob of hundreds of honey bees surrounds it in a ball, completely covering it and preventing it from reacting effectively. The bees violently vibrate their flight muscles in much the same way as they do to heat the hive in cold conditions. This raises the temperature in the ball to the critical temperature of 46 °C (115 °F). In addition, the exertions of the honey bees raise the level of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the ball. At that concentration of CO₂, the honey bees can tolerate up to 50 °C (122 °F), but the hornet cannot survive the combination of a temperature of 46 °C (115 °F) and high carbon dioxide level.^[9][10] Some bees do die along with the intruder, much as happens when they attack other intruders with their stings, but by killing the hornet scout, they prevent it from summoning reinforcements that would wipe out the entire colony.^[11]

Although it is a commonly accepted theory that the Japanese giant hornet may be allowed to enter the Japanese honey bee hive, recent studies suggest that the Japanese honey bee and large hornets actually have a predator-prey “I see you” (ISY) relationship. The ISY relationship is supported by the observation that Japanese honey bee wingbeats become louder and increase in intensity as a bee-hawking wasp (such as an Asian hornet (Vespa velutina), a Japanese yellow hornet (Vespa simillima xanthoptera), or a Japanese giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia japonica)) moves closer to the entrance of the hive and that, in most cases, the hornet may retreat when it hears the sound. If the hornet moves closer to the hive, the Japanese honey bees move their wings faster to intensify the warning to the wasp. If the wasp enters the nest the bees will increase their wing movement, form a ball and raise their body temperature.^[12]
