Dance Communication Affects Consistency, but Not Breadth, of Resource Use in Pollen-Foraging Honey Bees
In groups of cooperatively foraging individuals, communication may improve the group's performance by directing foraging effort to where it is most useful. Honey bees (Apis mellifera) use a specialized dance to communicate the location of floral resources. Because honey bees dance longer for more rewarding resources, communication may shift the colony's foraging effort towards higher quality re...
متن کاملThe tremble dance of honey bees can be caused by hive-external foraging experience.
The tremble dance of honey bee nectar foragers is part of the communication system that regulates a colony's foraging efficiency. A forager that returns to the hive with nectar, but then experiences a long unloading delay because she has difficulty finding a nectar receiver bee, will perform a tremble dance to recruit additional nectar receiver bees. A forager that experiences a short unloading...
متن کاملNeonicotinoid clothianidin adversely affects insect immunity and promotes replication of a viral pathogen in honey bees.
Large-scale losses of honey bee colonies represent a poorly understood problem of global importance. Both biotic and abiotic factors are involved in this phenomenon that is often associated with high loads of parasites and pathogens. A stronger impact of pathogens in honey bees exposed to neonicotinoid insecticides has been reported, but the causal link between insecticide exposure and the poss...
متن کاملReproductive ground plan may mediate colony-level selection effects on individual foraging behavior in honey bees.
The colony-level phenotype of an insect society emerges from interactions between large numbers of individuals that may differ considerably in their morphology, physiology, and behavior. The proximate and ultimate mechanisms that allow this complex integrated system to form are not fully known, and understanding the evolution of social life strategies is a major topic in systems biology. In sol...
متن کاملSocial Foraging by Honey Bees: Mechanisms, Dynamics, and Adaptation
There are two main components of social foraging by honey bees. First, there is a continuous adjustment of the number of bees dedicated to exploitation of forage sites and wide-area exploration for new forage options. Second, there is a persistent reallocation of the proportions of the foraging workforce dedicated to exploiting each site in order to match unpredictably changing relative forage ...
