The foraging behaviour of honey bees, Apis mellifera: a review.

open access: yes, 2018
Foraging behaviour is one of the distinctive behaviours of honey bees, Apis mellifera. This behaviour is the link between the honey bee colony and the ambient environment.

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

Comparison of acute effects of heroin and Kerack on sensory and motor activity of honey bees (Apis mellifera) [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2015
Objective(s):Previous studies demonstrated a functional similarity between vertebrate and honey bee nervous systems. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of heroin and Iranian street Kerack, a combination of heroin and caffeine, on ...

Honey bee colonies performance enhance by newly modified beehives

open access: yesJournal of Apicultural Science, 2013
Honey bees have good thermoregulation and rapidly respond to any changes in the microclimatic conditions of their colonies. However, colony losses can occur during very cold or hot months.

Advances in Invertebrate Biohybrid Robotics: Leveraging Nature for Locomotion and Sensing in Engineered Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores invertebrate biohybrid robots that integrate living organisms—such as insects, jellyfish, spiders, and sea slugs—into robotic systems for locomotion, sensing, and actuation. The advantages in efficiency and cost, discuss control, and power challenges are highlighted, and future considerations to guide the development of sustainable,

Patterns of within‐ and among‐plant variation in nectar production in the beetle‐pollinated Amianthium muscaetoxicum

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Premise Plant interactions with different pollinator species have shaped the evolution of remarkable diverse nectar production, presentation, and composition traits across the angiosperms. These traits can allow plants to manipulate and reward the behaviors of specific pollinators to enhance pollen donation and receipt with some precision. One

Molecular Assessment of Genes Linked to Immune Response Traits of Honey Bees in Conventional and Organically Managed Apiaries

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Honey bees are of great economic importance, not only for honey production but also for crop pollination. However, honey bee populations continue to decline mainly due to exposure to pesticides, pathogens and beekeeping practices.

Building a Bridge Between Ambient MS and LC‐MS by Non‐Exhaustive Microdesorption

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A sequential analysis strategy was developed to integrate rapid ambient mass spectrometry (MS) screening with LC‐MS confirmation using a single solid‐phase microextraction (SPME) device. The approach involves an initial non‐exhaustive microdesorption for ambient MS screening, followed by a second desorption for LC‐MS confirmation of only the disputed ...

Numerical ordering of zero in honey bees

open access: yesScience, 2018
Understanding zero It has been said that the development of an understanding of zero by society initiated a major intellectual advance in humans, and we have been thought to be unique in this understanding.
