Abstract We examine phylogenetic relationships among species and populations of Asian cavity-nesting honeybees, emphasizing detection potential unrecognized in the geographically widespread Apis cerana Fabricius (Hymenoptera, Apidae). carried out a analysis genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using BEASTv1.8.4 IQ-TREE 2. Our samples cover largest geographic area number honey bees...

Although several studies have examined how honeybees gauge and report the distance and direction of a food source to their nestmates, relatively little is known about how this information is combined to obtain a representation of the position of the food source. In this study we manipulate the amount of celestial compass information available to the bee during flight, and analyse the encoding o...

Three experiments with foraging honeybees were designed to study the effect of experience with A on responding to B after AB+ training. In the first experiment, responding to B was the same whether the AB+ training was preceded or followed by A+ training. In the second experiment, responding to B after AB+ training was less in animals that also had A+ training than in control animals that were ...

Bees can be severely affected by various plant protection products (PPP). Among these, neonicotinoid insecticides are of concern as they have been shown to responsible for extensive honeybee colonies death when released into the environment. Also, sublethal doses contaminating single honeybees and their (e.g. through contaminated pollen) physiological alterations with probable implication also ...

The negative impact of juvenile undernourishment on adult behavior has been well reported for vertebrates, but relatively little is known about invertebrates. In honeybees, nutrition long to affect task performance and timing behavioral transitions. Whether how a dietary restriction during larval development affects the honeybees largely unknown. We raised in-vitro , varying amount standardized...

Differentiation of Iranian Honeybees (Apis mellifera meda) from Commercial Honeybee Subspecies using ND1 and ND5 Genes
