New paper on "wing-slapping," the defensive behavior of #honeybee, now out in @ESAEcology!

Watch the full video set to the cool music of #MIYAVI (@MIYAVI_OFFICIAL), who’s renowned for his guitar slapping!

Yesterday at 2pm the first honeybee (Apis mellifera) in this species’ evolutionary history managed to pull a string for reward. They are much harder to train than bumblebees, though!

Do you occasionally shut the front door, get to your garden gate and think you simply can't be bothered to go out after all? So do the Beewolves along #DiggerAlley @RSPBMinsmere sometimes!

Why some humans are consistently more attractive to mosquitoes!

Differential mosquito attraction to humans is associated with skin-derived carboxylic acid levels https://t.co/NyXKgAH9hg

Everybody, I’m super excited to present to you: the inside structure of a honey bee swarm!

@oritpeleg @o_shishk @JayaramKaushik Fascinating!

[1/2] Recent work by @nyatonkitnya et al. (2022) strongly suggests that Apis laboriosa is a distinct species & not a subspecies of Apis dorsata, as previously thought by most bee researchers.

Is that what you thought? #CASCB researcher Tatjana Petrov, Morgane Nouvian and colleagues found out that 🐝🐝🐝 #Honeybees are less likely to sting in larger groups!

I'm super excited to present some of our latest work! Tracking bees, automatically detecting dances and other vibratory behaviors, understanding functional roles of bees through social network analysis, I'll show a bee robot too! @DDormagen @nebww @AdrianZachariae @WarioFernando

#ColoniesInConflict - First film in India about Apis dorsata a honeybee species we see around our neighbourhood but know so little about. In the film we tried to follow the trajectory of the Rockbees and witness a possible decline in their population.

[Craig Montell @CraigMontell1]

A huge group of Japanese honeybees protect themselves from a giant hornet entering the nest by surrounding the invader and flapping their wings, creating lethal heat for the hornet but the bees. A rhodopsin might be involved in the thermal sensation: https://t.co/adGtsrqGQj
