Honeybees and Magnetoreception [PDF]
Science, 1995 Studies of honeybee magnetoreception that provide anatomical and biophysical constraints on the insect receptor system contradict the conclusions of Hsu and Li in their report about iron granules in the abdominal trophocytes of honeybees.

Olfactory coding in honeybees [PDF]
Cell and Tissue Research, 2021 Abstract With less than a million neurons, the western honeybee Apis mellifera is capable of complex olfactory behaviors and provides an ideal model for investigating the neurophysiology of the olfactory circuit and the basis of olfactory perception and learning.

Current Biology, 2003 Why the interest in honeybees? Many of us have marvelled at the ability of honeybees to find an attractive flower patch, miles away from their hive, and to return to it repeatedly with unerring accuracy. How do they do this with a brain smaller than a sesame seed? We don't know all the answers yet, but bees seem to be able to estimate the distance to a

Evolutionary dynamics on a regular networked structured and unstructured multi‐population
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In this paper, we study collective decision‐making in a multi‐population framework, where groups of individuals represent whole populations that interact by means of a regular network. Each group consists of a number of players and every player can choose between two options.

Metabolic profiling of Apis mellifera larvae treated with sublethal acetamiprid doses
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023 Acetamiprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide used in crop protection worldwide. Such widespread application can pose risks to pollinator insects, particularly to honeybees (Apis mellifera); therefore, the evaluation of the harmful effects of acetamiprid is

Honeybee memory: a honeybee knows what to do and when [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 SUMMARYHoneybees have the ability to flexibly change their preference for a visual pattern according to the context in which a discrimination task is carried out. This study investigated the effect of time of day, task, as well as both parameters simultaneously, as contextual cue(s) in modulating bees' preference for a visual pattern.

The automatic pilot of honeybees [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 Using scanning harmonic radar, we make visible for the first time the complete trajectories of "goal-vector" flights in honeybees. We demonstrate that bees captured at an established feeding station, and released elsewhere, nevertheless embark on the previously learned vector flight that would have taken them directly home from the station, had they ...
