HONEY BEES Because they can maintain a close relationship with humans, the behavior of honey bees has been well-researched. Honey bees live in well-organized colonies and do not require hibernation. They are best known for their production of honey, which they store in wax combs inside nests....

Observations and experiments on forager honeybees under various conditions have revealed that, when these insects rest at night, they exhibit phenomena which are strongly reminiscent of several features characteristically accompanying sleep in humans and mammals. In an observation hive at night, large ...
We performed two experiments to determine 1) the behavior of European honey bee guards (Apis mellifera) toward beetle invaders exhibiting various levels of integration and 2) the behavior of the beetle invaders after entering the nest. In the first experiment, we used 5 species of nitidulid beet...
This behavior, performed by bees 15–20 days old and prior to foraging, is likely mediated by olfactory cues. Because the neuromodulator octopamine (OA) plays a pivotal role in olfactory‐based behaviors of honey bees, we examined whether bees bred for hygienic and nonhygienic behavior differed...
One key advantage of eusociality is shared defense of the nest, brood, and stored food; nest defense plays an important role in the biology of eusocial bees. Recent studies on honey bees, Apis mellifera, have focused on the placement of defensive activity in the overall scheme of division of...
An algorithm based on the altruistic behavior of honeybees could help those designing wind farms know exactly where to plant each turbine in the array to maximize efficiency and energy output from the wind farm. A team from ...
