FloBuzz: A Modular Feeder System for Automated Aversive Conditioning in Bees

FloBuzz is an automated system for aversive conditioning in bees, showing voltage-dependent avoidance behavior through electric shocks.

Specific Wavelengths of Light Modulate Honey Bee Locomotor Activity

This study shows that specific light wavelengths affect honey bee locomotor activity, with green light increasing and UV light decreasing it, especially when combined with blue light.

Caste-specific proboscis extension responses in honey bees to sucrose and royal jelly stimuli

This study compares the gustatory responses of honey bee castes to sucrose and royal jelly using the proboscis extension response assay, revealing caste-specific nutritional preferences.

Api-TRACE: A System for Honey Bee Tracking in a Constrained Environment to Study Bee Learning Process and the Effect of Lithium on Learning

The paper introduces Api-TRACE, a system for tracking honey bees in learning assays, and shows lithium reduces reversal learning performance but not acquisition.

Effects of lithium on locomotor activity and circadian rhythm of honey bees

This study examines how lithium affects honey bee locomotor activity and circadian rhythms, finding that it alters activity levels and disrupts circadian patterns, similar to its effects in bipolar disorder treatment.
