In-vivo two-photon imaging of the honey bee antennal lobe [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 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).

Pesticide Contamination in Native North American Crops, Part II—Comparison of Flower, Honey Bee Workers, and Native Bee Residues in Lowbush Blueberry

open access: yesInsects
In lowbush blueberry fields, we conducted residue analysis comparing flowers, trapped pollen (honey bee and Osmia spp.), and collected bees (honey bee workers, bumble bee queens, and non-Bombus spp. wild native bees). The study was conducted from 2012 to
