Methylation and worker reproduction in the bumble-bee (Bombus terrestris) [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 Insects are at the dawn of an epigenetics era. Numerous social insect species have been found to possess a functioning methylation system, previously not thought to exist in insects. Methylation, an epigenetic tag, may be vital for the sociality and division of labour for which social insects are renowned.

Microrheology of haemolymph plasma of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2023 ABSTRACT Viscosity, which impacts the rate of haemolymph circulation and heat transfer, is one of the transport properties that affects the performance of an insect. Measuring the viscosity of insect fluids is challenging because of the small amount available per specimen.
