· How to contact onBux? 

Most of your questions will have already been asked and answered in the Forums.
Any other more specific queries can be addressed in the Live Support area.

· How does it work?

Simple, advertisers pay to have their websites / products exposed and you earn money from onBux while viewing these sites. You can earn even more money by exposing your referral link to others to gain free referrals. Or you can rent referrals from our already large community and get paid for every ad they view.

· How do I view ads? 

Go to the View Ads section of the site. Click on one of the available ads, which will open in a new page. Let the page load to completion and wait for the progress bar to fill at the top of your screen. Once it is complete you will verify by clicking on the matching letter. A green tick will indicate you have been paid and you can now click the next one. A red X means you either clicked the wrong letter or you had two ads open at the same time.

· What are referrals? 

Referrals are users like you who have joined onBux, however they also earn money for you when they view advertisements, while earning money for themselves. Referrals come in two different forms:
 · Direct Referrals: Are users who have registered on the site putting you as their referrer.
 · Rented Referrals: Are users that, for a fee, will click under you for a specific period of time.
To help explain we have laid out a table with the click values. In addition we have also made a calculator that will show you how important referrals are for your earnings.

· How much money can I make? 

The amount you receive from each referrals click can vary, depending on your membership type, as can your own clicks. Here are the differences between different types of membership.
 · Standard Membership: Per click: $0.01 · Per referral click: $0.005
 · Pioneer Membership: Per click: $0.01 · Per referral click: $0.005
 · Golden Membership: Per click: $0.01 · Per referral click: $0.01
 · Ultimate Membership: Per click: $0.02 · Per referral click: $0.01

· What is AutoPay? 

AutoPay is an automated method to extend the time you have your rented referrals. When a referral makes their first click for the day, AutoPay will take a small fee from Rental Balance and extend that referral for another day. So a referral with 27 days left will click and AutoPay will extend them to 28 days. If they click every day they will never expire and you continually make profit off them. It is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to keep your referrals as AutoPay works out to be 10% cheaper than regular 30 day extending.
AutoPay is switched off by default and can be switched on at your Rented Referral screen. Please be aware that if a referral has LESS than 20 days remaining, AutoPay will no longer affect them and they will need to be extended manually to back over 20 days.

· How do I renew without AutoPay? 

If you wish to have more control over how you extend your referrals time, you may manually renew them at the Rented Referrals screen. Once you have selected the referrals you want to renew by clicking on their check-box's, you then choose how long to renew at the bottom of the screen.
You have 3 options to renew: 30 days at normal price - 60 days at 10% discount (same discount as AutoPay) - 90 days at 20% discount.
It is up to you to choose which renew method is best for you. Always work within your budget and plan out your renewals ahead of time. Don't leave it until the last minute to decide.

· What is Recycle? 

Recycle is a service offered by onBux to replace your inactive rented referrals. If a referral is not making you enough profit, then for a small fee, onBux will replace that referral with a completely new referral. This referral will have the exact same time remaining with you as the last one did, but they will be a completely different human being.

· What is Pioneer Membership and how do I get it? 

Pioneer Membership an honor given to the first 10,000 members of onBux. It gave them a forum badge and a nice little discount on renting and renewing. It was only for the first 10,000 members and is no longer available.

· Why should I believe that the onBux will pay me? 

Because we are a Fully Registered Limited Company. We are very committed to making the onBux a great place for users and advertisers to earn and gain exposure. Remember 'Everyone Wins'? We are willing to fight for this idea and we will continue growing stronger each and every day. Our success depends on your success. So we are always interested in paying you.

· Can other people in my household join? 

No, only one user is allowed per household. Unless you have 2 completely separate internet connections with different IP Addresses.

· Can I have more than one account? 

Unfortunately it is not possible because it is against the fundamental principles that this system is based on. Advertisers pay for unique users to view their products. Not the same user over and over again.

· I sometimes use a shared computer, is it fine? 

Yes but only if you are the only onBux member to use that computer.

· How do I refer others? 

Use the referral URL found in the Banners Section of your Account Summary.

· How often are the statistics updated? 

Most statistics are updated in real time. But they can take up to 10 minutes depending on server load.

· When do I get paid? 

The first time you'll need $ 2.00 or more to make the cashout using your payment processor of choice. This amount will increase by $1.00 for each cashout until it reaches a fixed minimum amount of $10.00. The first cashout also requires you to have made at least 60 personal clicks, after which there is no more click requirements.

· How can I withdraw the money earned? 

In your Account Summary you can click the option "Your Payment" and withdraw all the money you have earned. This is, of course, if you have complied with our Terms of Service and met the requirements to cashout as stated in the previous question.

· What are PayPal, AlertPay, Neteller and Liberty Reserve? 

They are payment processors who facilitate payments between companies and people. We use them to pay our users. They are all globally trusted and recognised, as most well used and professional payment services on the Internet.

· What is PayPal? 

PayPal is a company that allows you to transfer money using secure e-mail transactions, avoiding traditional methods such as cheques and money orders. It is located in San Jose in California. Operating since 1998, is the most widely used payment processor in the world and also our main form of payment.

· What is AlertPay? 

AlertPay, founded in 2004, is a system of electronic wallet transactions (e-wallet) that allows any business or consumer to use email to send and receive payments. These Internet transactions are secure, fast and at a low cost. With its official headquarters in Montreal, Canada, AlertPay is available to users worldwide. Another great payment processor accepted by onBux.

· What is Neteller? 

Neteller are a payment processor that have been in operation since 1999 and provide online money transfers in complete security. As a company they are part of the London Stock Exchange AIM. Extremely reliable, they are our most preferred method of purchase.

Honey bees (or honeybees) are a subset of bees in the genus Apis, primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests out of wax. Honey bees are the only extant members of the tribe Apini, all in the genus Apis. Currently, there are only seven recognized species of honey bee with a total of 44 subspecies though historically, anywhere from six to eleven species have been recognized. Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the approximately 20,000 known species of bees. Some other types of related bees produce and store honey, but only members of the genus Apis are true honey bees. Apiculture is the art of beekeeping. More than just keeping hives and harvesting honey, apiculture includes setting up properly located and constructed hives, making sure they have access to plentiful sources of nectar, and preparing the harvested liquid honey after it has been taken from the hive.

                 Understanding worker bee anatomy can help beekeepers understand bee biology. They are well equipped for life as social animals and to be successful in the environment.

Bees are well covered by branched (plumose) body hairs. They also have thousands of unbranched hairs covering their body which are for sensory purposes. The hairs extend from the body exoskeleton that gives shape and form to a bee. There are no internal bones -bees like all insects have an external skeleton rather than an internal one. The exoskeleton helps protect the delicate internal structures, conserves internal body fluids so the body does not desiccate, and also serves as a protective barrier to the entry of pathogens.

 Bees are typical insects in that they have three body regions –

·         head,

·         thorax

·         abdomen.

Head of the Honey Bee

                The head is the center of information gathering. It is here that the visual, gustatory and olfactory inputs are received and processed. Of course, food is also input from here.  Important organs on or inside the head:

1. Antennae,

2. Eyes,

3. Mouth parts,

4. Internal structures.

           The head also has conspicuous compound eyes which have a fair degree of visual ability including the detection of colors, movement and distance. The eyes are compound with a wide vision for a large area ideally suited for large patches of fields when they are foraging. Bees have special powers in their eyes to know directional knowledge through the sun’s rays. This facilitates their returning to their homes safely as well mark pick and marks their next foraging location. Bees also have three Simple eyes on top of the Compound eyes, and 3 other separate simple eyes called ocelli. These simpler eyes are for navigation in unfamiliar territory to measure the amount of light in any area.

                         The lower portion of the honey bee head has several structures that combine to make up the mouthparts. Bees have spatula-shaped mandibles to manipulate beeswax and a proboscis, of several parts folded together, to form a straw-like tube to suck up liquids.

These mandibles are the jaws of the bees with many functions:

a. Cut and shape beeswax to produce strong, uniform cells in the hive.

b. Help the bee consume pollen and honey.

c. Help the bee collect water for various uses inside the hive and for self-hydration.

d. Mandibles are also used to feed the young bee larvae that reside in open honeycomb cells. Worker bees are also responsible for feeding the queen bee, which barely has time to groom and feed herself because her main function is to lay eggs across the hive structure ceaselessly.

e. Mandibles are also very useful to help the bee groom and eliminating a parasite that may get attached to the body.

f. When invaders are present, mandibles are also used to attack fellow insects, bees from other colonies, and larger animals.

                           A bee’s proboscis is used mainly for drinking water and collecting nectar, which is then stored in the bee’s body until it reaches the hive, where it deposits the nectar in cells. The bees have to use water and air the nectar they deposit to facilitate curing process in the beginning itself. There is also food exchanges form one bee to another or a drone through the Proboscis.

                         A pair of antennae extend forward from the head in bees they have a unique shape with an el-bow-like angle so terminal segments bend at a right angle.

          Tiny antenna-like palpi are loaded with sensory hairs to enable bees to detect numerous sugars, salt, sour and bitter foods. Bees have Antenna to smell anything especially honey and enemies. There are two functions for the antenna for pollen and nectar in their hunt. The Antenna informs the bee of sources of food at present. And also where else they are for the future. They pick up the directional sense for this in the air.

Thorax of the Honey Bee

 

 The middle body portion, the thorax is made up of three boxes –like segments with a pair of legs extending from the lower portion of each segment and a pair of wings from the top corner of the second and third segments.  Bees have 2 pairs of wings and three pairs of legs. The legs are very versatile, with claws on the last tarsomere, allowing bees to have good grip on rough surfaces (tree trunks etc), but also with a soft pad (arolium) to allow bees to walk on smooth surfaces (leaves or even glass!). There are also special structures on legs to help bee get more pollen.

                 

Wings

          The front wings are larger than the hind wings and the two are synchronized in flight with a row of wing hooks on the hind wing that would hitch into a fold on the rear edge of the front wing.

Legs

                       On the front leg, there is a special structure used for cleaning antenna (when too many pollen grains stuck there), properly called the "antenna cleaner". The third pair has stiff hairs arranged in rows on the inner portion to comb pollen from body hairs and a special rrangement of long, curved hairs to form a pollen basket on the outer surface.

Abdomen of the Honey Bee

                  On the surface the abdomen has no special outside structures, but is the center for digestion and reproduction (for drones and queens). It also houses the sting, a powerful defense against us humans.

          The abdomen appears as a serious of similar rings or segments from the outside. Each segment has a pair of openings, spiracles, which are opening into internal respiratory system. The segments of the abdomen taper to the back where a sting is concealed unit used for defense.

Wax Scales

                    Workers around 6-12 days old can produce wax scales in their four pairs of wax glands. The glands are concealed between the inter-segmental membranes, but the wax scales produced can be seen, usually even with naked eyes. The scales are thin and quite clear. After workers chew them up and add saliva, it becomes more whitish.

 Sting

           Once a worker bee stings, the bee tries to get away. The sting has barbs preventing the sting to be pulled out. The sting apparatus breaks off and is left behind. The sting, venom gland, and muscles controlling the gland, will work autonomously to pump venom into the victim. Alarm pheromone is also released to "mark" the victim. This sends a signal to other bees to sting you again.
