The centring response of bees flying through a tunnel has led to simple methods for navigating through corridors.

Whether this extreme failure of division of labour would occur in natural colonies is not known, but experimental evidence has shown that the response of bees to various stressors is to change behaviour from brood care to foraging [25], [39].

After the 90 min rest, we tested the response of bees of the different groups to their respective US (fructose, glucose or sucrose) and to the CS, 1-nonanol, in absence of US.

We do not have any reasons a priori to expect that shaking-induced stress should bias the response of bees toward or away from either odor in this blend.

By using this procedure, we were able to determine how scented nectars affect the olfactory responses of bees involved in the distribution of hive nectar.

The dependent variable of each model was the response of the bees (binomial error distribution: bees could either land on the inflorescence, 1, or reject it, 0), the explanatory variables were spider position (above or below the inflorescences) and spider movement ("yes" if they moved before the bee landed or "no" if the spider remained still).

We used a mixed model analysis of 19 data sets from throughout the world to test the effect of ecological and life-history traits on the responses of bee species to different types of anthropogenic environmental change.
