Chemical communication in the honeybee (Apis mellifera L.): a review
Veterinární Medicína, 2011 An important area of physiology of the honeybee (Apis mellifera) is chemical communication between individuals and castes in the swarm, which maintains its integrity and function.

Specific Cues Associated With Honey Bee Social Defence against Varroa destructor Infested Brood
Scientific Reports, 2016 Social immunity forms an essential part of the defence repertoire of social insects. In response to infestation by the parasitic mite Varroa destructor and its associated viruses, honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) have developed a specific behaviour (varroa-

Sociobiology, 2018 Although honey bees are efficient pollinators of many crops cultivated in greenhouses, it is difficult to maintain colony strength and consequently pollination efficiency. Many bees die under greenhouse conditions and the colonies rapidly weaken.

PLoS ONE, 2022 Sibling rivalry or brood reduction prevailing within bird nests is effectively avoided in solitary aculeate nests because the larvae of wasps and bees usually develop in each brood cell.

The sight of an adult brood parasite near the nest is an insufficient cue for a honeyguide host to reject foreign eggs. [PDF]
, 2015 Hosts of brood-parasitic birds typically evolve anti-parasitism defences, including mobbing of parasitic intruders at the nest and the ability to recognize and reject foreign eggs from their clutches.

Male survivorship and the evolution of eusociality in partially bivoltine sweat bees
PLoS ONE, 2022 Eusociality, where workers typically forfeit their own reproduction to assist their mothers in raising siblings, is a fundamental paradox in evolutionary biology.

Assessing the Consequences of Brood Parasitism and Nest Predation On Seasonal Fecundity in Passerine Birds [PDF]
, 1995 Brood parasites and nest predators reduce the seasonal fecundity and, hence, the population growth rates of their victims. However, most field studies do not measure directly how parasites and predators decrease seasonal fecundity, but instead measure ...

Brood overlap and male ornamentation in the double-brooded barn swallow [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2010 Brood overlap can be an optimal solution to the intraseasonal trade-off in the allocation of time between successive broods. In line with life-history theory, the extent of brood overlap should be adjusted according to the individual costs and benefits of the simultaneous investment into 2 broods. Phenotypic quality can affect these costs and benefits.
