A deficit of detoxification enzymes: pesticide sensitivity and environmental response in the honeybee (2006, background): “Because of this eusociality, which is further developed or more specialized than that of other eusocial Hymenoptera, the honeybee is capable of acting collectively to achieve a remarkable level of environmental homeostasis within the nest (Schmickl & Crailsheim, 2004).”
Dynamic modelling of honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony growth and failure (2013, background): “The initial population of brood is taken to be 1000, in agreement ith the observations of Seeley and Visscher (1985), with 14% eggs, 8% larvae and 58% pupae in sealed cells.”
HoPoMo : A model of honeybee intracolonial population dynamics and resource management (2007, background): “This shows that the model is able to simulate the regulation of pollen foraging according to a homeostatic set point in a plausible way (Schmickl and Crailsheim, 2004a).”
