Wild bee toxicity data for pesticide risk assessments [PDF]
, 2019 Pollination services are vital for agriculture, food security and biodiversity. Although many insect species provide pollination services, honeybees are thought to be the major provider of this service to agriculture. However, the importance of wild bees

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Neonicotinoids acting on insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are deployed for crop protection, but growing evidence for adverse effects on insect pollinators has led to restricted use of some neonicotinoids in the EU.

Pollen elicits proboscis extension but does not reinforce PER learning in honeybees [PDF]
, 2013 The function of pollen as a reward for foraging bees is little understood, though there is evidence to suggest that it can reinforce associations with visual and olfactory floral cues.

Extent and complexity of RNA processing in honey bee queen and worker caste development
iScience, 2022 Summary: The distinct honeybee (Apis mellifera) worker and queen castes have become a model for the study of genomic mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity.

Assessing the role of dispersed floralresources for managed bees in providingsupporting ecosystem services for croppollination [PDF]
, 2018 Most pollination ecosystem services studies have focussed on wild pollinators and their dependence on natural floral resources adjacent to crop fields. However, managed pollinators depend on a mixture of floral resources that are spatially separated from

Meta-analysis of honey bee neurogenomic response links deformed wing virus type A to precocious behavioral maturation [PDF]
, 2020 Crop pollination by the western honey bee Apis mellifera is vital to agriculture but threatened by alarmingly high levels of colony mortality, especially in Europe and North America.

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 ...
