Queen recognition by worker honeybees (Apis mellifera L.)
Experientia, 1960 Begattete und sogar getrocknete Bienenkoniginnen haben einen fur Arbeiterinnen anziehenden Geruch, der jedoch, mit einer Ausnahme, nur bei Darbietung von mehr als einer Konigin demonstriert werden konnte. Der anziehende Geruch ist wie «Queen Substances» mit Alkohol extrahierbar, stammt aber nicht von der «Queen Substance».

Potential Correlation Between Bombus lantschouensis Thoracic Morphology and Flight Behavior
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Potential correlation between Bombus lantschouensis thoracic morphology and flight behavior. ABSTRACT Remarkably little modern work has investigated the thoracic structures of insects and their relationship to flight locomotion. Most studies focus exclusively on either morphology or flight kinematics.

Floral strips increase the abundance and spillover of beneficial insects in rotational crop fields
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Abstract Insects provide many ecological functions that support agricultural production, but beneficial insect populations are often lower in areas of intensive agriculture. Agronomic practices that support beneficial insect populations are important for sustainable crop production.

The Action of the Proventriculus of the Worker Honeybee, APIS MELLIFERA L [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1952 ABSTRACT The proventriculus of the worker honeybee is an organ which effects a highly efficient separation of pollen grains from the medium in which they are suspended. The pollen grains are packed tightly together by the proventriculus and are passed as a bolus down to the ventriculus.
