Have been shifting away from Twitter, my blue sky handle is @csbailey128.bksy.social for anyone curious✌️

New pub! Honeybee nests are super symmetrical, the pattern of cell contents is mirrored on either side of the comb. This symmetry
1 is unique to each comb in the nest
2 evolves over time while maintaining symmetry
3 aids in thermoregulation and rearing
4 conserved across Apis🔗⬇️

[Michael Smith @SmithBeeLab]

Thrilled to see our new @SmithBeeLab paper out in @CurrentBiology!

Buckle up, this one’s a wild dive into the world of architectural symmetry…

Where would honeybees prefer to initiate their nest after they move into a large cavity? A really large cavity, let's say an 8ft tall cavity, with the the entrance at the bottom. Answer the poll then see the data in our latest pub below!

Pleased to share the first paper from my PhD at @OISTedu, showing that #eusociality did not drive the expansions in the number of odorant receptors in #Hymenoptera! 🐜🐝

Big thanks to all my co-authors! @Dorylophile @Jules_For_Fools @Pangapaco Shûhei Yamamoto & @EvanEconomo

We're recruiting!!! 🚨🐝🚨

See advert below, for a grad student opening in the Smith Bee Lab.

We welcome applicants from all types of fields, no prior bee experience is required or expected.

Open-ended research topics, driven by curiosity (after all, it's *YOUR* PhD!)

Had such an amazing time at IUSSI European meeting! So lucky to attend such a wonderfully organized conference and excited to share the research project I'm working on for my PhD 🦐🦐🦐@euroIUSSI2024

New fossil ants, insight into ant faunal turnover, and the persistence of the "platonic ant body plan"! Our paper on the youngest-yet stem ants from the Cretaceous, preserved in ~77 Ma North Carolina amber, is now out in Current Biology https://t.co/9Dfb4mKBr5

The study by Bailey @csbailey128 and colleagues @SmithBeeLab @AztecaCecropia shows that the #nest of a #superorganism is not static, but alterations happen through constant #interaction of #workers with the structure.

Had a great time presenting my work at EntSoc2023, couldn’t have asked for a better first conference!

[Claire Bailey @csbailey128]

Incredibly thankful for the evolution and morphology workshop hosted by @OISTedu and for getting to spend a week in Japan with some of the coolest people :)

[Claire Bailey @csbailey128]

Excited to announce my first paper! I looked at how honeybees continuously reduce their comb area after nest expansion & the fine-scale detailing that goes into it. Very thankful for everyone at the Smith Bee Lab, and excited to share some fun results!

We're so excited to have you! Claire's going to be doing some really cool work on eusocial shrimp as part of our new NSF grant!

[Claire Bailey @csbailey128]

Excited to announce my post graduation plans! In the fall, I will be a PhD student at NJIT in the Barden lab. Incredibly thankful for my time at Auburn and looking forward to more fun research to come :)

[Peter Marting @AztecaCecropia]

I'm really proud of this work published today in Proc B with @SmithBeeLab & @ben_koger on the importance of the 3D nest structure and building strategies in developing honeybee colonies https://t.co/fAVEUUw83B

We observe, manipulate, and model 3D nest construction - see below.

Congrats to Claire Bailey (@csbailey128) on receiving the DBS Outstanding Undergraduate Research Award!

ps. Claire, I'm still mad that the local beekeeping club asked you to give a research talk before they asked me.

[Michael Smith @SmithBeeLab]

Celebrating Claire's (@csbailey128) successful @NSF #GRFP with a prosecco machete!
