Individual behavioral rules sustain the cell allocation pattern in the combs of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera) [PDF]
, 2012 In the beeswax combs of honey bees, the cells of brood, pollen, and honey have a consistent spatial pattern that is sustained throughout the life of a colony. This spatial pattern is believed to emerge from simple behavioral rules that specify how the queen moves, where foragers deposit honey/pollen and how honey/pollen is consumed from cells.

A marked renewal process model for the size of a honey bee colony [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Many areas of agriculture rely on honey bees to provide pollination services and any decline in honey bee numbers can impact on global food security. In order to understand the dynamics of honey bee colonies we present a discrete time marked renewal process model for the size of a colony.

Behavioral modulation of the coexistence between Apis melifera and Varroa destructor: A defense against colony colapse disorder? [PDF]
, 2015 Colony Collapse Disorder has become a global problem for beekeepers and for the crops which depend on bee polination. Multiple factors are known to increase the risk of colony colapse, and the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor that parasitizes honey bees is among the main threats to colony health.

Dancing Honey bee Robot Elicits Dance-Following and Recruits Foragers [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The honey bee dance communication system is one of the most popular examples of animal communication. Forager bees communicate the flight vector towards food, water, or resin sources to nestmates by performing a stereotypical motion pattern on the comb surface in the darkness of the hive.

Shared and unique microbes between Small hive beetles (Aethina tumida) and their honey bee hosts
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 The small hive beetle (SHB) is an opportunistic parasite that feeds on bee larvae, honey, and pollen. While SHBs can also feed on fruit and other plant products, like its plant‐feeding relatives, SHBs prefer to feed on hive resources and only reproduce ...

In-vivo two-photon imaging of the honey bee antennal lobe [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 Due to the honey bee's importance as a simple neural model, there is a great need for new functional imaging modalities. Herein we report on the use of two-photon microscopy for in-vivo functional and morphological imaging of the honey bee's olfactory system focusing on its primary centers, the antennal lobes (ALs).
