Previous experience in natural settings may lead to maladaptive behavioral patterns in bees exposed to new risks. This study presents the first examination of the effect of a visual stimulus presented in a naturalistic setting on aversive conditioning, using the shuttle box choice chamber paradigm. ...
Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of these molecules has been shown to go both ways. High levels of JH will inhibit the synthesis of Vg, maintaining bees in the foraging stage. This being said, the relationship between JH and Vg has been proven to be more complicated than this as low lev...

The global expansion of domesticated plant and animal species has profoundly impacted biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, the spillover effect of non-native honey bees from mass-flowering crops into adjacent natural vegetation on pollination function within plant communities remains unclear. To ...
Moreover, the active management of honey bees may contribute to the absence of an environmental effect on viral prevalence. Beekeeping practices, such as hive placement and water provision- ing as well as varroa mite control and nutritional s upport72, could have a large impact on the ...
Alessandro Cini (UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research, UCL Biosciences) said: “Here we have provided the first evidence that honeybees modify their social interactions and how they move around their hive in response to a common parasite. “Honeybees are social animals, as they ...

with bees consuming more food than controls when exposed to low concentration PE (0.5 mg/L); however, in bees exposed to a higher PE amount (50 mg/L), no effect on body weight was noted, despite a reduced survival, as indicated in the “Effects on food consumption and body weight” ...
