Flight activity of honeybees in a flight and rearing room. II. The influence of constant and cycling temperatures - Nelson, Jay - 1968 () Citation Context ...trees at Trass declined as the number of wasps increased (Moller and Tilley, 1989). Honey bee foraging activity is affected by ...
Here, we tested whether the initial onset of an infection negatively impacts the flight behaviour of honey bee workers, which is an energetically demanding behaviour and a key component of foraging activities. To do this, we infected workers with the widespread fungal pathogen Nosema apis, which ...
The honey bee represents the ideal model to address these factors because age, behavior, functional senescence, and lifespan are easily manipulated independently of each other while in its natural environment. I determined if there was a cause-effect relationship between honey bee flight and ...
Flight Of The Honey Reading Answers (Passage 1) 1 B ‘…they maintain strict divisions of labour, based on sex’ 2 C ‘This so-called honeybee dance was first interpreted by German zoologist Karl von Frisch in the early 1970s.’ 3 D ‘the bee will fly around in narrow circles, and ...
From measurements of gas exchange of single tethered bees flying in a closed-circuit miniature respiration wind tunnel at RQ =1.0, a relative metabolic power (relative metabolic rate) of P mrel =0.515±0.1W g 1 was calculated based on a body mass of 80 mg for an 'empty' bee. This did...

1905). We now know that honey bees are not unique and that about 20% of animalspeciesuse ahaplodiploidmode ofreproduction. In haplodiploid systems, male progeny normally develops from unfertilized eggs, which arehaploidand have just one set of chromosomes. The fertilized honey bee eggs, which...
The ocelli apparently help to control phototactic alertness in the bee. They determine whether phototactic orienting or pattern-induced orienting behaviour is more important in a particular state of motivation. They help to minimize the level of disturbance in flight course control, obviously by ...
Perhaps the most intriguing feature of honeybee communication is a series of flight moves only performed by a female worker bee that has returned to the nest with nectar and needs to tell the rest of her colony that she has discovered food supplies and where they can be found. This so-call...
There is, however, significant imprecision communicating the direction across waggle runs in a single dance. In this study, we ask whether honey bee recruits determine the direction of their flight based on an average of many waggle runs, or on a single waggle run. We show that the ...
