Visual constraints in foraging bumblebees: Flower size and color affect search time and flight behavior
- J. Spaethe, J. Tautz, L. Chittka
- Medicine, Biology
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 20 March 2001
In optimal foraging theory, search time is a key variable defining the value of a prey type. But the sensory-perceptual processes that constrain the search for food have rarely been considered. Here… Expand
RFID Tracking of Sublethal Effects of Two Neonicotinoid Insecticides on the Foraging Behavior of Apis mellifera

The development of insecticides requires valid risk assessment procedures to avoid causing harm to beneficial insects and especially to pollinators such as the honeybee Apis mellifera. In addition to… Expand
Synaptic organization in the adult honey bee brain is influenced by brood-temperature control during pupal development
- Claudia Groh, J. Tautz, W. Rössler
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 15 March 2004
Recent studies have shown that the behavioral performance of adult honey bees is influenced by the temperature experienced during pupal development. Here we explore whether there are… Expand
Behavioral performance in adult honey bees is influenced by the temperature experienced during their pupal development

- 22 May 2003
To investigate the possible consequences of brood-temperature regulation in honey bee colonies on the quality of behavioral performance of adults, we placed honey bee pupae in incubators and allowed… Expand
Honeybee dances communicate distances measured by optic flow

- 31 May 2001
In honeybees, employed foragers recruit unemployed hive mates to food sources by dances from which a human observer can read the distance and direction of the food source. When foragers collect food… Expand

TLDR
Adult honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) abandon hemocytic, but not phenoloxidase-based immunity.

Hemocytes and the (prophenol-) phenoloxidase system constitute the immediate innate immune system in insects. These components of insect immunity are present at any post-embryonic life stage without… Expand
Hot bees in empty broodnest cells: heating from within

- Journal of Experimental Biology
- 1 December 2003
SUMMARY Honeybee colonies maintain brood nest temperatures of 33–36°C. We investigated brood nest thermoregulation at the level of individual worker behaviour and the transfer of heat from workers to… Expand
Immune-related proteins induced in the hemolymph after aseptic and septic injury differ in honey bee worker larvae and adults.

We have employed the proteomic approach in combination with mass spectrometry to study the immune response of honey bee workers at different developmental stages. Analysis of the hemolymph proteins… Expand
Worker piping in honey bee swarms and its role in preparing for liftoff
Abstract. Worker piping, previously reported only in hives, was observed in swarms as they prepared to liftoff to fly to a new home. Pipers are excited bees which scramble through the swarm cluster,… Expand
