Maze Learning by Honeybees

Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, 1996
This study examines whether honeybees can learn to fly through complex mazes, in the presence or the absence of specific visual cues. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Bees can learn to fly through a complex maze by following a trail of colored marks. 2.

Thiacloprid exposure perturbs the gut microbiota and reduces the survival status in honeybees.

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2019
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) offer ecosystem services such as pollination, conservation of biodiversity, and provision of food. However, in recent years, the number of honeybee colonies is diminishing rapidly, which is probably linked to the wide use of ...

Inhibitory conditioning in honeybees

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section B, 2003
Honeybees were rewarded with sucrose solution for choosing AX(a grey target, X, labelled with a distinctive stimulus, A) rather than ABX (a grey target labelled both with A and with another distinctive stimulus, B)–AX+/ABX– training. Tests of independent groups made after such training showed a clear preference not only for AX over ABX, but also for ...

Sensory Preconditioning in Honeybees

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2000
ABSTRACT Sensory preconditioning means that reinforcement of stimulus A after unreinforced exposure to a compound AB also leads to responses to stimulus B. Here, we describe and analyze sensory preconditioning in an insect, the honeybee Apis mellifera.

The impact of the invasive species Vespa velutina on honeybees: A new approach based on oxidative stress.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
Honeybees have an essential role in ecosystems pollinating wild flowers and cultivated crops, representing an important cultural and economic benefit for humans. Honeybee populations are decreasing over the last decade, due to multifactorial causes.

Identification of Africanized honeybees

Journal of Chromatography A, 2005
Gas chromatography and pattern recognition methods were used to develop a potential method for differentiating European honeybees from Africanized honeybees. The test data consisted of 237 gas chromatograms of hydrocarbon extracts obtained from the wax glands, cuticle, and exocrine glands of European and Africanized honeybees.

Concentrations of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam in pollen, nectar and leaves from seed-dressed cotton crops and their potential risk to honeybees (Apis mellifera L.).

Chemosphere, 2018
Neonicotinoid insecticides (NIs) have recently been recognized as co-factors in the decline of honeybee colonies because most neonicotinoids are systemic and can transfer into the pollen and nectar of many pollinated crops.

Honeybee

2016
This thesis is a fictional piece meant to explore the mentality of a seventeen-year-old girl in a relationship with a twenty-four-year-old male in modern day Mississippi. Through describing a trip taken to the beach in Biloxi, Mississippi, the location is explored in terms of tourist attractions as well as atmosphere while the story remains focused on ...

Intermodal blocking in honeybees

The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology B, 2001
Previous findings of intramodal but not of intermodal blocking in foraging honeybees prompted a new series of experiments with colours, odours, a proximal visual landmark, and a localized geomagnetic anomaly as stimuli. In Experiments 1-2, the landmark was blocked by both colour and odour.

Mushroom Body of the Honeybee

2010
The mushroom body (MB) in the insect brain is composed of a large number of densely packed neurons called Kenyon cells (KCs) (Drosophila, 2200; honeybee, 170,000). In most insect species, the MB consists of two caplike dorsal structures, the calyces, which contain the dendrites of KCs, and two to four lobes formed by collaterals of branching KC axons ...
