Agrochemicals interact synergistically to increase bee mortality

A meta-analysis of studies in which bees were exposed to combinations of agrochemicals, nutritional stressors and/or parasites revealed evidence for synergistic effects on mortality when bees were exposed to multiple agrochemicals at field-realistic levels.

Network-based diffusion analysis reveals context-specific dominance of dance communication in foraging honeybees

Honeybees have a sophisticated system to communicate foraging locations through a “dance”, but they also share food-related olfactory cues. Here, Hasenjager and colleagues use social network analysis to disentangle how foraging information is transmitted through these systems in different contexts.

Social complexity, life-history and lineage influence the molecular basis of castes in vespid wasps

A key hypothesis for the evolution of division of labour in social insects is that a shared set of genes – a genetic toolkit - regulates reproductive castes across species. Here, the authors analyze brain transcriptomes from nine species of social wasps to identify the factors that shape this toolkit.

Sulfoxaflor exposure reduces bumblebee reproductive success

Chronic exposure to sulfoxaflor (a sulfoximine-based insecticide) has severe sub-lethal effects on bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) colonies; exposed colonies produced fewer workers and fewer reproductive offspring than unexposed control colonies.

Foraging distance distributions reveal how honeybee waggle dance recruitment varies with landscape

Honeybees communicate the location of flowers through the waggle dance. A method is presented to quantify how much a colony uses the waggle dance when foraging. Waggle dance use varies considerably and is used more in complex landscapes.
