Swarming bees require good communication to all congregate in the same place. Honey bees are adept at associative learning, and many of the phenomena of operant and classical conditioning take the same form in honey bees as they do in the vertebrates. Efficient foraging requires such learning. For example, honey bees make few repeat visits to a ...
Differences between the communication methods of honeybees and bumblebees are mainly due to differences in colony size and nest structure. [1] Bumblebees are distinct from honeybees because they lack receiver bees (bees in the nest which receive pollen and nectar from incoming foragers during unloading) and are not capable of trophallaxis (the ...
Do stronger or more experienced 'leaders' exert more influence than other group members, or does the group make a decision by consensus? The answer probably depends on the species. While the role of a leading matriarch in an elephant herd is well known, studies have shown that some animal species use a consensus approach in their collective ...
Bees like flowers that provide landing platforms and flowers with a tubular shape that hold nectar at the base. Bees also look for “nectar guides” in flowers.
Except one major contributor isn't as abundant as it once was—wild bees. Local farmers have attributed the decline in bees, both wild and managed, to climate change and parasites. Nationwide ...
Teaching involves consistent interactions between a tutor and a pupil and the tutor typically incurs some sort of cost in order to transmit the relevant information to the pupil. In the case of tandem running the ant is temporarily decreasing its own foraging efficiency in order to demonstrate to the pupil the location of a foraging site.

Vulture bees, also known as carrion bees, are a small group of three closely related South American stingless bee species in the genus Trigona which feed on rotting meat. Some vulture bees produce a substance similar to royal jelly which is not derived from nectar , but rather from protein-rich secretions of the bees' hypopharyngeal glands . [ 1 ]
