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 …

Swarm Intelligence (SI) is a popular multi-agent framework that has been originally inspired
by swarm behaviors observed in natural systems, such as ant and bee colonies. In a system …

Adult honey bees are maintained in vitro in laboratory cages for a variety of purposes. For
example, researchers may wish to perform experiments on honey bees caged individually or …

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

Bees are herbivorous insects, consuming nectar and pollen throughout their life cycles. This
paper is a brief review of the chemistry of these two floral resources and the implications for …

Since 2006 the rate of honey bee colony failure has increased significantly. As an aid to
testing hypotheses for the causes of colony failure we have developed a compartment …

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 …

For honey bees (Apis mellifera), colony maintenance and growth are highly dependent on
worker foragers obtaining sufficient resources from flowering plants year round. Despite the …

Many studies have reported honeybee colony losses in human‐dominated landscapes.
While bee floral food resources have been drastically reduced over past decades in human …
