The paper shows invasive hornets use social attraction to make collective foraging decisions, favoring food sources primed with dead conspecifics or related species.

This study shows male bumblebees adjust foraging behavior to maintain reproductive efforts despite environmental challenges.

This study examines how bumblebees adjust their nutritional choices under different thermal stresses, finding that cold stress prioritizes carbohydrates while heat stress disrupts nutrient balance.

This study shows that aging in parasitoid wasps leads to cognitive decline, affecting their ability to learn and remember odors associated with oviposition rewards.

The paper compares hemolymph properties across three Mediterranean bee species, finding significant interspecific variation in protein concentration and biological activities.

This study shows human performance in solving the Traveling Salesman Problem varies with spatial scale, peaking at intermediate scales where global strategies are used.

This study shows that bumblebees adapt their foraging behavior based on early flower experiences, with some becoming more selective and others less, but all achieving similar sucrose intake rates over time.

This study compares the susceptibility of invasive Vespa velutina nigrithorax hornets to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii with two non-target species, finding hornets more susceptible.

This paper uses an agent-based model with reinforcement learning to simulate bee foraging and shows how learning improves pollination efficiency and genetic differentiation between plant subpopulations.

This study investigates how bumblebees estimate height in 3D space using ventral optic flow and local/global cues during foraging.

This study shows that Japanese yellow hornets develop trapline foraging routes similar to bees and birds, optimizing flower visits over time without always taking the shortest path.

This study shows bumblebees adjust their flight altitude and orientation in dense environments to navigate and locate their nest more effectively.

This study shows bumblebees primarily use ground-level views, not birds-eye views, to navigate dense environments, challenging existing snapshot-homing models.

This study shows honey bees cannot detect harmful metal concentrations in food, only avoiding very high levels that exceed regulatory thresholds.
