Nutrition of honeybees is constrained by the ratios of essential amino acids in pollen protein

The paper examines how the essential amino acid (EAA) ratios in pollen affect honeybee nutrition and behavior, finding that diets matching bee tissue EAA profiles improve food intake and growth.

Acoustic phenotyping reveals sublethal pesticide stress in bees using BEEhaviourLab

The paper uses acoustic phenotyping with BEEhaviourLab to detect sublethal pesticide stress in bees by analyzing buzzing behavior.

Mouthparts of the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) exhibit poor acuity for the detection of pesticides in nectar

This study shows bumblebees cannot detect or avoid field-relevant pesticide concentrations in nectar using their mouthparts.

Temporal responses of bumblebee gustatoryneurons to sugars

This study shows that bumblebee gustatory receptor neurons encode sugar value through distinct temporal firing patterns, revealing specialized mechanisms for detecting nutritional and toxic sugars.
