Comparison of learning and memory of Apis cerana and Apis mellifera
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2012 The honeybee is an excellent model organism for research on learning and memory among invertebrates. Learning and memory in honeybees has intrigued neuroscientists and entomologists in the last few decades, but attention has focused almost solely on the Western honeybee, Apis mellifera. In contrast, there have been few studies on learning and memory in
