Context affects nestmate recognition errors in honey bees and stingless bees [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2013
Summary Nestmate recognition studies, where a discriminator first recognises and then behaviourally discriminates (accept/reject) another individual, have used a variety of methodologies and contexts. This is potentially problematic because recognition errors in discrimination behaviour are predicted to be context-dependent.

Contrasting patterns of foraging behavior in neotropical stingless bees using pollen and honey metabarcoding

Scientific Reports, 2023
Stingless bees are major flower visitors in the tropics, but their foraging preferences and behavior are still poorly understood. Studying stingless bee interactions with angiosperms is methodologically challenging due to the high tropical plant ...
