Direct Economic Impact Assessment of Winter Honeybee Colony Losses in Three European Countries
Agriculture, 2021 Honeybees are of great importance because of their role in pollination as well as for hive products. The population of managed colonies fluctuates over time, and recent monitoring reports show different levels of colony losses in many regions and ...

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.

A strong immune response in young adult honeybees masks their increased susceptibility to infection compared to older bees [PDF]
, 2012 Honeybees, Apis mellifera, show age-related division of labor in which young adults perform maintenance ("housekeeping") tasks inside the colony before switching to outside foraging at approximately 23 days old. Disease resistance is an important feature

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

Pollination services in the UK: how important are honeybees? [PDF]
, 2011 Pollination services are known to provide substantial benefits to human populations and agriculture in particular. Although many species are known to provide pollination services, honeybees (Apis mellifera) are often assumed to provide the majority of ...

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
