The Role of Landscapes and Landmarks in Bee Navigation: A Review. [PDF]

, 2019
The ability of animals to explore landmarks in their environment is essential to their fitness. Landmarks are widely recognized to play a key role in navigation by providing information in multiple sensory modalities. However, what is a landmark?

Protected areas and Indigenous diets in Southeast Asia: Does proximity and level of protection matter?

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Protected areas often overlap with Indigenous areas; yet the relationships between protected areas and Indigenous diets are not fully understood. This study investigates the relationships between rural children's dietary diversity, distance from protected areas, the level of protection (IUCN category) and Indigeneity in Myanmar and Cambodia ...

Gendered, embodied knowledge within a Welsh agricultural context and the importance of listening to farmers in the rewilding debate

Area, EarlyView., 2022
This article uses examples from practice‐led‐research to explore the tensions between rewilding and the gendered embodied knowledge of upland farmers in an area of Wales, UK called the Cambrian Mountains. This paper argues that within the context of the polarising ideas of rewilding, sensitivity and the need to listen to the embodied, situated ...

Omics Insights Into the Effects of Highbush Blueberry and Cranberry Crop Agroecosystems on Honey Bee Health and Physiology

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital pollinators in fruit‐producing agroecosystems like highbush blueberry (HBB) and cranberry (CRA). However, their health is threatened by multiple interacting stressors, including pesticides, pathogens, and nutritional changes.

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

Insects
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

The drifting of honey-bees

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1958
1. Most of the bees which drift do so during their orientation flights and before they become regular foragers.2. Bees emerging in August and September drift less than those emerging earlier in the year.3. Drifting varies considerably in different circumstances, and may be extensive.4. Drones drift two to three times as frequently as workers.5.

Cocaine Tolerance in Honey Bees

PLoS ONE, 2013
Increasingly invertebrates are being used to investigate the molecular and cellular effects of drugs of abuse to explore basic mechanisms of addiction. However, in mammals the principle factors contributing to addiction are long-term adaptive responses to repeated drug use.

Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We immune‐primed honey bees at two developmental stages in the laboratory and the field with heat‐killed Nosema ceranae spores. When subsequently fed live spores, immune‐primed adults had lower infection levels. Abstract BACKGROUND Honey bees face significant threats from pathogens like Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite that contributes to ...

The bees algorithm: Modelling nature to solve complex optimisation problems [PDF]

, 2013
The Bees Algorithm models the foraging behaviour of honey bees in order to solve optimisation problems. The algorithm performs a kind of exploitative neighbourhood search combined with random explorative search.
