Biomechanics of pollen pellet removal by the honey bee [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2021 Honey bees ( Apis mellifera ) carry pollen back to their hive by mixing it with nectar and forming it into a pellet. The pellet must be firmly attached to their legs during flight, but also easily removable when deposited in the hive. How does the honey bee achieve these contrary aims? In this experimental study, we

Methods of Honey Bee Stinger Removal: A Systematic Review of the Literature [PDF]
Cureus, 2020 Honey bee envenomations are a common occurrence and cause localized morbidity but rarely cause systemic symptoms or death in humans. Honey bee stingers have a uniquely designed venom sac with a piston-containing bifurcated stinger that can remain in human skin and continue injecting venom after stinging.

Altruistic self‐removal of health‐compromised honey bee workers from their hive [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2010 AbstractSocial insect colonies represent distinct units of selection. Most individuals evolve by kin selection and forgo individual reproduction. Instead, they display altruistic food sharing, nest maintenance and self‐sacrificial colony defence. Recently, altruistic self‐removal of diseased worker ants from their colony was described as another ...

Killing and replacing queen-laid eggs: low cost of worker policing in the honey bee [PDF]
, 2014 Worker honeybees, Apis mellifera, police each other’s reproduction by killing worker-laid eggs. Previous experiments demonstrated that worker policing is effective, killing most (∼98%) worker-laid eggs. However, many queen-laid eggs were also killed (∼50%

Honey bees performing varroa sensitive hygiene remove the most mite-compromised bees from highly infested patches of brood [PDF]
Apidologie, 2018 Varroa destructor is a key contributor to honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colony losses that threaten global economies. Some colonies, especially those displaying high levels of hygiene behaviour targeted towards V. destructor-infested cells, survive mite infestation.
