We investigated the connection between foraging activity of honey bees (Apis mellifera) and
local weather conditions. We measured bee egress rate along with temperature, solar …

In this BEEBOOK paper we present a set of established methods for quantifying honey bee
behaviour. We start with general methods for preparing bees for behavioural assays. Then …

Hive bees provide essential pollination services to human agriculture. Managed honey bees
in particular pollinate many crops, but also create honey and other bee products that are …

Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid pesticide heavily used by the agricultural industry and shown
to have negative impacts on honey bees above certain concentrations. We evaluated the …

The vital role of honeybees in pollination and their high rate of mortality in the last decade
have raised concern among beekeepers and researchers alike. As such, robust and remote …

Pesticide residues have been linked to reduced bee health and increased honey bee colony
failure. Most research to date has investigated the role of pesticides on individual honey …
