HONEYBEE VIRUSES PRESENCE IN SERBIAN APIARIES: A REVIEW
Archives of Veterinary Medicine, 2021 The honey bee Apis mellifera is an important beneficial insect recognized by production of honeybee products, having an important role in agricultural production through pollination, and play an equally crucial role in conserving the biodiversity in ...

Review of the methods to determine the hazard and toxicity of pesticides to bumblebees [PDF]
, 2001 Methods to determine the impact of pesticides on bumblebees are described. They are classified into laboratory tests to determine the acute toxicity and the hazard to bumblebees, (semi) field tests, and brood tests.

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 ...

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.

Numerical cognition in honeybees enables addition and subtraction
Science Advances, 2019 Honeybees learn to add or subtract one item from a set using color cues and can interpolate operations to a novel number. Many animals understand numbers at a basic level for use in essential tasks such as foraging, shoaling, and resource management ...

CRISPR/Cas9 mediated mutations as a new tool for studying taste in honeybees
bioRxiv, 2020 Background Honeybees rely on nectar as their main source of carbohydrates [1]. Sucrose, glucose and fructose are the main components of plant nectars [2] [3]. Intriguingly, honeybees express only three putative sugar receptors (AmGr1, AmGr2 and AmGr3) [4]

The Waggle Dance as an Intended Flight: A Cognitive Perspective [PDF]
, 2019 The notion of the waggle dance simulating a flight towards a goal in a walking pattern has been proposed in the context of evolutionary considerations. Behavioral components, like its arousing effect on the social community, the attention of hive mates ...
