AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF HONEYBEE POLLINATION MARKETS [PDF]

Pollination by honeybees plays an important role in modern agriculture. Some crops are greatly dependent on honeybees (almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, and cherries are examples) while the yields and quality of other crops are significantly ...

The limitations of the methods of identifying the floral source of honeys [PDF]

, 1998
The pollen grains in honey reveal the types of plants that were around when the bees produced the honey, thus it is valid to use melissopalynology to determine the geographical origin of honeys, but there are several reasons why it is less valid for ...

Could learning of pollen odours by honey bees (Apis mellifera) play a role in their foraging behaviour? [PDF]

, 2005
The role of pollen odour cues in the foraging behaviour of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) is poorly understood. Using classical conditioning of the proboscis extension response, in which bees learn to associate an odour with a sucrose reward, the present

Optimization of Wind‐PV Co‐Generation Systems Using Artificial Bee Colony and Back‐to‐Back Voltage Source Converter

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
The Graphical Abstract depicts the proposed Artificial Bee Colony algorithm‐based optimal tuning of PI controllers for back‐to‐back Voltage Source Converters in a hybrid wind–PV system. ABSTRACT This paper proposes a hybrid model‐based back‐to‐back voltage‐source converter (B2B‐VSC) system comprising a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Permanent Magnet ...

The effect of pathogens on honeybee learning and foraging behaviour [PDF]

The European honeybee, Apis mellifera, is important economically not just for honey production but also as a pollinator. Bee pollinated plants contribute towards one third of the food eaten worldwide.

The adaptive significance of sensory bias in a foraging context: floral colour preferences in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris [PDF]

, 2007
Innate sensory biases could play an important role in helping naïve animals to find food. As inexperienced bees are known to have strong innate colour biases we investigated whether bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) colonies with stronger biases for the most

Are you my mother? When host genetics and gut microbiota tell different phylogenetic stories in the Africanized honey bee hybrid (Apis mellifera scutellata × sspp.)

Microbiology Spectrum
Africanized honey bees (Apis mellifera scutellata × sspp.) originated in Brazil through the crossbreeding of African (A. mellifera scutellata) and European (A. mellifera sspp.) honey bee subspecies.

Queering Institutional Milestones in Elite Higher Education: Queer Perspectives on Princeton University and Coeducation (1960–1980)

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A new archive of oral history interviews from LGBTQIA‐identified alumni, faculty and staff reveals the complex ways that queer and transgender students understood, experienced and remembered the long transition from single‐sex to coeducation at Princeton University.

STUDY CONCERNING THE HONEY QUALITIES IN TRANSYLVANIA REGION [PDF]

The sources of micro-organisms (yeasts and fungi) found in honey are nectar andpollen, honey processing areas, equipments that have not been properly cleaned or wrappings. There are few types of yeast in honey and the most common are Saccharomyces melis,

Laboratory studies examining aspects of scent marking, traplining and remote detection of reward in the foraging bumblebee. [PDF]

, 2007
PhDEnergy from food is essential for the survival of all animals. For decades, bumblebees have been used as model organisms for studying animal foraging strategies.
