Feverish honeybees

Journal of Biosciences, 2000
The therapeutic benefits of fever have been recorded since the time of Hippocrates. At the turn of the 20th century, syphilis was a dreaded disease whose neuro-degenerative effects were terrible and many mental institutions were occupied with patients suffering from it; there was no effective treatment available then.

Robustness of the honeybee neuro-muscular octopaminergic system in the face of cold stress

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
In recent decades, our planet has undergone dramatic environmental changes resulting in the loss of numerous species. This contrasts with species that can adapt quickly to rapidly changing ambient conditions, which require physiological plasticity and ...

Honeybees Learn Odour Mixtures via a Selection of Key Odorants [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND The honeybee has to detect, process and learn numerous complex odours from her natural environment on a daily basis. Most of these odours are floral scents, which are mixtures of dozens of different odorants.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Evidence that no liquid equilibrium process is involved in the comb building of honey bees (Apis Mellifera) [PDF]

, 2017
According to Pirk et al. (2004), honeybees first build free standing cylindrical cells which are then transformed to hexagonal cross-section by wax-flow in a kind of self-organization. We show that there is no self-organization of the wax.
