Adequate nutrition supports the development of healthy honey bee colonies. We give an
overview of the nutritional demands of honey bee workers at three levels:(1) colony nutrition …

Bee-collected pollen (BCP) is a well-known functional food. Honey bees process the
collected pollen and store it in the hive, inside the comb cells. The processed pollen is called …

Fish travel in schools, birds migrate in flocks, honeybees swarm, and ants build trails. How
and why do these collective behaviors occur? Exploring how coordinated group patterns …

Many factors can negatively affect honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) health including the
pervasive use of systemic neonicotinoid insecticides. Through direct consumption of …

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are increasingly in demand as pollinators for various key
agricultural food crops, but globally honey bee populations are in decline, and honey bee …

Drones and workers have completely different roles in a honeybee colony. This is reflected
in many physiological, morphological and behavioural differences. Our overview mainly …

Honey bee colony health has received considerable attention in recent years, with many
studies highlighting multifactorial issues contributing to colony losses. Disease and weather …

At present, there is substantive evidence that the nutritional content of agriculturally
important food crops will decrease in response to rising levels of atmospheric carbon …

The negative effects on adult behavior of juvenile undernourishment are well documented in
vertebrates, but relatively poorly understood in invertebrates. We examined the effects of …

Sublethal exposure to fungicides can affect honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) in ways that
resemble malnutrition. These include reduced brood rearing, queen loss, and increased …
