Stingless bees (Meliponini) are the largest and most diverse group of social bees, yet their largely tropical distribution means that they are less studied than their relatives, the bumble bees and honey bees. Stingless bees produce honey and collect pollen from tens of thousands of tropical plant species and, in the process, provide critical pollination services in the tropics. Like many other insects, they are struggling with new human-made ...

A honeybee hive serves as an information centre where information transfer among bees allows the colony to exploit the most profitable resources in a continuously changing environment. Social learning of food odours inside the hive is one important component of foraging in honeybees. This project investigated how honeybees acquire and use socially transmitted odour information in the context of collective foraging and food processing.
