Honeybees contradict the notion that insect behaviour tends to be relatively inflexible and
stereotypical. Indeed, they live in colonies and exhibit complex social, navigational and …

Adult honey bees are maintained in vitro in laboratory cages for a variety of purposes. For
example, researchers may wish to perform experiments on honey bees caged individually or …

The honeybee Apis mellifera has emerged as a robust and influential model for the study of
classical conditioning, thanks to the existence of a powerful Pavlovian conditioning protocol …

Declines in honey bee populations represent a worldwide concern. The widespread use of
neonicotinoid insecticides has been one of the factors linked to these declines. Sublethal …

Bees are fundamental insects in agroecosystems, mainly due to pollination. However, its
decline has been observed in recent years, and the contamination by pesticides is …

The health of the Western honey bee is threatened by a global epidemic of deformed wing
virus (DWV) infections driven by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor acting as …

Honeybees utilise floral odours when foraging for flowers; we investigated whether diesel
exhaust pollution could interrupt these floral odour stimuli. A synthetic blend of eight floral …

The critical ecological process of animal-mediated pollination is commonly facilitated by
odour cues. These odours consist of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), often with short …

Neonicotinoids act as agonists on the nicotinic Acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) in insect
brains, an essential molecular component of central brain structures involved in learning …
