Modeling Honey Bee Populations
PLOS ONE, 2015 Eusocial honey bee populations (Apis mellifera) employ an age stratification organization of egg, larvae, pupae, hive bees and foraging bees. Understanding the recent decline in honey bee colonies hinges on understanding the factors that impact each of these different age castes.

Does keeping non-native honey bees in Iowa prairies endanger wild bees through exposure to viruses? [PDF]
, 2018 Populations of wild and managed pollinators are declining in North America, due in part to a loss of flowering resources. Tallgrass prairies can provide floral resources for managed honey bees, as well as wild bees such as bumble bees.

Therapeutic Properties of Stingless Bee Honey in Comparison with European Bee Honey
Advances in Pharmacological Sciences, 2018 Both honeybees (Apis spp.) and stingless bees (Trigona spp.) produce honeys with high nutritional and therapeutics value. Until recently, the information regarding potential health benefits of stingless bee honey (SBH) in medical databases is still scarce as compared to the common European bee honey (EBH) which is well known for their properties as ...

Adaptive Bee Colony in an Artificial Bee Colony for Solving Engineering Design Problems [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 A wide range of engineering design problems have been solved by the algorithms that simulates collective intelligence in swarms of birds or insects. The Artificial Bee Colony or ABC is one of the recent additions to the class of swarm intelligence based algorithms that mimics the foraging behavior of honey bees.

Honey Bee Foraging Patterns In Rural and Urban Landscapes [PDF]
, 2016 Honey bees are an important insect for crop pollination and honey production, regularly traveling 5km from their hive to forage for nectar and pollen. In agricultural landscapes they forage on crops and the herbaceous plants on field margins.

The complex world of honey bee vibrational signaling: A response to Ramsey et al. (2017) [PDF]
arXivRamsey et al. report on the characteristics and temporal distribution of an interesting vibrational signal that they term the whooping signal, primarily based upon a long-term study of vibrations recorded by accelerometers placed inside two honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies, one in France and one in the United Kingdom. The goal of the study, the long-

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.

Honey and honey bees of Guinea-Bissau [PDF]
, 2011 Beekeeping is an ancient activity in Guinea-Bissau. The ancestral interaction with bees stands on “honey hunting” of natural colonies or use of traditional hives hanged on trees.
