Honey bee drones are synchronously hyperactive inside the nest

This study tracks honey bee drones inside the nest and finds they exhibit synchronized hyperactivity in the afternoon, influenced by weather and social cues.

Learning to embed lifetime social behavior from interaction dynamics

The paper introduces a temporal matrix factorization model to learn temporally consistent functional roles from social interaction networks in honey bees, enabling comparison of individual roles across time and colonies.

The dominant axes of lifetime behavioral variation in honey bees

This study quantifies behavioral variation in honey bees over their lifetimes and under environmental changes, identifying two dominant behavioral axes and showing individual consistency and colony-level adaptability.

Social networks predict the life and death of honey bees

The paper develops a method to predict honey bee task allocation, survival, and behavior using social network descriptors without interfering with colonies.
