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.

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

This study shows that early-life gut microbiota disruption affects circadian rhythm development in honey bees by altering clock neuron maturation and hormone expression.

This paper introduces a new method to measure nectar volume in artificial flowers using electrodes and an oscillator circuit, demonstrating its accuracy in detecting nectar variations.

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.
