Understanding the Flight of the Bumblebee
PLoS Biology, 2012 Bumblebees are remarkable navigators. While their flight paths may look scattered to the casual eye, all that buzzing about is anything but random. Like the travelling salesman in the famous mathematical problem of how to take the shortest path along multiple stops, bumblebees quickly find efficient routes among flowers. And once they find a good route,

Spatial Reorientation by Geometry in Bumblebees
PLoS ONE, 2012 Human and non-human animals are capable of using basic geometric information to reorient in an environment. Geometric information includes metric properties associated with spatial surfaces (e.g., short vs. long wall) and left-right directionality or 'sense' (e.g. a long wall to the left of a short wall).

On metric-affine bumblebee model coupled to scalar matter
Nuclear Physics BWe consider the coupling of the metric-affine bumblebee gravity model to scalar matter and calculate the lower-order contributions to two-point functions of bumblebee and scalar fields in the weak gravity approximation.

Известия высших учебных заведений. Поволжский регион: Естественные науки, 2022 Background. Of great importance for bumblebees is the availability of a food base in two significant periods of life: at the beginning of flight activity after leaving wintering and at the end of flight activity in the period before wintering.

Longevity of starved bumblebee queens (Hymenoptera: Apidae) is shorter at high than low temperatures
European Journal of Entomology, 2014 Northern bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) with annual lifecycles depend both on energy stores remaining in their fat body after diapause and a few spring flowering plants.

Do Insects Have Emotions? Some Insights from Bumble Bees
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017 While our conceptual understanding of emotions is largely based on human subjective experiences, research in comparative cognition has shown growing interest in the existence and identification of “emotion-like” states in non-human animals.

InsectsBumblebees (Bombus terrestris) have strong environmental adaptability and high pollen transfer efficiency, making them well-suited pollinators of economic crops. However, bumblebee pollination is still not widely applied in northern China due to the lack
