Apis mellifera

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Configural perception of a binary olfactory mixture in honey bees, as in humans, rodents and newborn rabbits
    Marie-Anne Wycke, Gérard Coureaud, Thierry Thomas-Danguin, Jean-Christophe Sandoz
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb227611 doi: 10.1242/jeb.227611 Published 9 November 2020

    Highlighted Article: Mixing odorants together sometimes gives rise to utterly new perceptive qualities. A mixture that is treated in such a configural way by humans, rabbits and rodents also possesses this quality for an invertebrate, the honeybee.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Drinking made easier: honey bee tongues dip faster into warmer and/or less viscous artificial nectar
    Lianhui Shi, Susan W. Nicolson, Yunqiang Yang, Jianing Wu, Shaoze Yan, Zhigang Wu
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb229799 doi: 10.1242/jeb.229799 Published 24 September 2020

    Summary: Fluidic modelling and theoretical analysis of the honey bee feeding mechanism reveals an adaptation strategy in which bees respond to variation in nectar properties by regulating dipping frequency.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Use of temporal and colour cueing in a symbolic delayed matching task by honey bees
    Leslie Ng, Jair E. Garcia, Adrian G. Dyer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb224220 doi: 10.1242/jeb.224220 Published 11 August 2020

    Summary: Honey bees can learn arbitrary relationships between shapes and colours, but not between shapes and durations of light, indicating a lower efficiency of temporal information as a cueing stimulus.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Wind and obstacle motion affect honeybee flight strategies in cluttered environments
    Nicholas P. Burnett, Marc A. Badger, Stacey A. Combes
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb222471 doi: 10.1242/jeb.222471 Published 30 July 2020

    Summary: To approach moving obstacles, honeybees reduce speeds in still air but increase speeds in wind. To transit obstacles, bees reduce speeds in still air but alter flight paths in wind.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Sex-specific molecular specialization and activity rhythm-dependent gene expression in honey bee antennae
    Rikesh Jain, Axel Brockmann
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb217406 doi: 10.1242/jeb.217406 Published 22 June 2020

    Summary: Gene expression differences between honey bee male (specialist) and female (generalist) antennae identify differences in molecular specialization and reveal new genes involved in odorant detection.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Spontaneous quantity discrimination of artificial flowers by foraging honeybees
    Scarlett R. Howard, Jürgen Schramme, Jair E. Garcia, Leslie Ng, Aurore Avarguès-Weber, Andrew D. Greentree, Adrian G. Dyer
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb223610 doi: 10.1242/jeb.223610 Published 14 May 2020

    Summary: Honeybees exhibit a range of numerical abilities following dedicated training; as shown here, they also demonstrate a limited spontaneous ability to discriminate different quantities of artificial flowers.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Honeybees fail to discriminate floral scents in a complex learning task after consuming a neonicotinoid pesticide
    Julie A. Mustard, Annie Gott, Jennifer Scott, Nancy L. Chavarria, Geraldine A. Wright
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb217174 doi: 10.1242/jeb.217174 Published 28 February 2020

    Summary: Honeybees exposed to the neonicotinoid pesticide thiamethoxam cannot perform a complex learning task. Honeybees exposed to other neonicotinoids such as imidacloprid and clothianidin, can learn this task, but at a slower rate.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Honey bee caste lipidomics in relation to life-history stage and the long life of the queen
    Nicolas Martin, A. J. Hulbert, Greg C. Brenner, Simon H. J. Brown, Todd W. Mitchell, Paul L. Else
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb207043 doi: 10.1242/jeb.207043 Published 16 December 2019

    Summary: The extraordinary difference in lifespan between honey bee castes may be partially explained by oxidative damage as a result of the diet-induced increase in membrane polyunsaturated fatty acids in workers.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Honeybees generalize among pollen scents from plants flowering in the same seasonal period
    Ana Laura Pietrantuono, Fabrice Requier, Valeria Fernández-Arhex, Josefina Winter, Guillermo Huerta, Fernando Guerrieri
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb201335 doi: 10.1242/jeb.201335 Published 8 November 2019

    Summary: The proboscis extension response of honey bees was conditioned using different pollen scents, then tested with novel pollen scents. Honey bees generalized the pollen scents from plants that share the same flowering period.

  • SHORT COMMUNICATION
    Exosome-like vesicles in Apis mellifera bee pollen, honey and royal jelly contribute to their antibacterial and pro-regenerative activity
    Christina M. A. P. Schuh, Sebastian Aguayo, Gabriela Zavala, Maroun Khoury
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb208702 doi: 10.1242/jeb.208702 Published 16 October 2019

    Summary: Apis mellifera honeybee hypopharyngeal gland secretions contain exosome-like vesicles, which contribute to their antibacterial and pro-regenerative activity.
