A hybrid artificial bee colony algorithm for flexible job shop scheduling with worker flexibility
International Journal of Production Research, 2019The traditional flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) considers machine flexibility but not worker flexibility. Given the influence and potential of human factors in improving production efficiency and decreasing the cost in practical production ...

Worker policing in the bee Apis florea
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2001Apis florea is a single-combed, open-nesting, dwarf honeybee indigenous to Asia. In common with other species of this genus, A. florea is highly polyandrous, and is therefore predicted to curtail worker reproduction by mutual policing mechanisms that keep worker reproduction at an extremely low level.

The Canadian Entomologist, 1977
AbstractFurther experiments were done in an attempt to ascertain the significance of the mandibular glands of nurse bees in female caste differentiation. Groups of 200, 10-day-old nurse bees, with their mandibular glands removed, fed female larvae for 80 h in plastic queen cell cups in the laboratory.

Brain Allometry in Bumblebee and Honey Bee Workers
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2005Within a particular animal taxon, larger bodied species generally have larger brains. Increased brain size usually correlates with increased behavioral repertoires and often with superior cognitive abilities. Bumblebees are eusocial insects that show pronounced size polymorphism among workers, whereas in honey bees size variation is much less ...

Hydrocarbon-soluble calcium hydride: a "worker-bee" in calcium chemistry.
Chemistry, 2007The reactivity of the hydrocarbon-soluble calcium hydride complex [{CaH(dipp-nacnac)(thf)}(2)] (1; dipp-nacnac=CH{(CMe)(2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3)N)}(2)) with a large variety of substrates has been investigated.

This study measured the effects of hive volume on the productivity and growth of colonies of honey bees, Apis mellifera L., in Baton Rouge, LA. In a winter experiment, populations of 5,000, 10,000, and 15,000 bees were installed in hives to produce ...

Gene-regulatory context of honey bee worker sterility
Biosystems, 2020The highly organized societies of the Western honey bee Apis mellifera feature a highly reproductive queen at the center of attention and a large cohort of daughters that suppress their own reproduction to help rear more sisters, some of whom become queens themselves.

A portable incubator for worker bee brood
Bee World, 2003The construction and function of a self-warmed, portable incubator for sealed worker honey bee (Apis mellifera) brood is described here. This incubator can be used by both static and migratory beekeepers. The prerequisites of a rational use of a portable incubator in the early to middle spring are cited.
