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

Late Winter Foraging by Honeybees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) at Sapsucker Drill Holes [PDF]
Observations of Apis mellifera foraging at sapsucker drill holes were made during February 1988 in southwestern Virginia. Foraging bouts were dependent upon temperature; more bees visited drill holes when ambient temperatures exceeded 10oC. Honeybees did

A strong immune response in young adult honeybees masks their increased susceptibility to infection compared to older bees [PDF]
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

Evolutionary dynamics on a regular networked structured and unstructured multi‐population
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.

Wild bee toxicity data for pesticide risk assessments [PDF]
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

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization [PDF]
Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies.
