Environment International, 2021 The losses of honey bee colonies and declines of other insect pollinators have been associated with negative effects of pesticides. Honey bees as well as other pollinators are nectar and pollen foragers and thus are exposed to an extensive range of ...

Pathogenicity of
mBio, 2018 Although few honey bee diseases are known to be caused by bacteria, pathogens of adult worker bees may be underrecognized due to social immunity mechanisms. Specifically, infected adult bees typically abandon the hive or are removed by guards.

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).

Reproduction Number And Asymptotic Stability For The Dynamics of a Honey Bee Colony with Continuous Age Structure [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 A system of partial differential equations is derived as a model for the dynamics of a honey bee colony with a continuous age distribution, and the system is then extended to include the effects of a simplified infectious disease. In the disease-free case we analytically derive the equilibrium age distribution within the colony and propose a novel ...

InsectsIn 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

Tracking all members of a honey bee colony over their lifetime [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Computational approaches to the analysis of collective behavior in social insects increasingly rely on motion paths as an intermediate data layer from which one can infer individual behaviors or social interactions. Honey bees are a popular model for learning and memory.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Central place foragers depart from and return to a central location with enough resources for themselves, and in many cases, for the group. Honey bees and bumble bees are eusocial central place foragers.

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.

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-
