Stingless bees (Meliponini) are important pollinators throughout the world's tropical and
subtropical regions. Understanding their thermal tolerance is key to predicting their …

There are enormous challenges for managed honey bee, Apis mellifera, colonies in the
world. Climate change is expected to be the major threat for honey bees in the future …

The abrupt disappearance of the bees that pollinate crops is a significant subject of recent
study. One theory points to the development of telecommunications technology and an …

We examined the susceptibility of the worker honeybee Apis mellifera L. to pyrethroids. Bees
were intoxicated by selected synthetic pyrethroids (active substances: beta-cyfluthrin …

The thermal preferences of Apis mellifera carnica drones (male individuals) are poorly
understood, though their reproductive quality affects the quality of the inseminated queen …

Among the honeybee subspecies, Polish beekeepers most commonly rear three of them, ie,
Apis mellifera carnica, A. m. mellifera and A. m. caucasica. They differ in morphological and …

Thermal preference is one of the most crucial components of behavioral thermoregulation in
ectotherms, and documenting the adaptation of thermal preference carries great importance …

We examined effects of the queen's presence on diurnal rhythms of temperature preference
(TP) and locomotor activity (LA) in worker honeybees' groups. TP and LA of six queenless …

A cohort of 183 worker honey bees was used to estimate the effect of the own vs. a foreign
colony odor on their olfactory and thermal preferences and metabolic rate. Bees showed a …

Honeybee foragers were tested on their preference for the own colony odor either
separately, in an olfactometer, or in combination with their temperature preference, in …
