A honeybee hive serves as an information centre in which communication among bees
allows the colony to exploit the most profitable resources in a continuously changing …

Transfer of information about food source characteristics within insect societies is essential
to colony-foraging success. The food odor communicated within honeybee hives has been …

Honeybees, Apis mellifera, show learned odour preferences for flowers that provide nectar
as a reward. However, little is known about such behavioural plasticity when bees exploit …

To see what effects learning in one context can exercise upon subsequent learning in other
contexts the relation between olfactory learning performance of honey bees, Apis …

During foraging flights, honeybees learn visual and chemical cues associated with a food
source. We investigated whether learned olfactory cues can trigger visual and navigational …

The role of pollen odour cues in the foraging behaviour of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) is
poorly understood. Using classical conditioning of the proboscis extension response, in …

The honey bee is a model organism for studies on the neural substrates of learning and
memory. Associative olfactory learning using sucrose rewards is fast and reliable in foragers …

In honeybees, associative learning is embedded in a social context as bees possess a
highly complex social organization in which communication among individuals is mediated …

Recent studies showed that nectar odors brought back by honeybee foragers can be
learned associatively inside the hive. In the present study, we focused on the learning …

Honey bees utilise floral food sources that vary temporally in their relative and absolute
quality. Via a sophisticated colony organisation, a honey bee colony allocates its foragers …
