The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Standard methods for Nosema research (2013, background): “…bees, it is common to use much higher doses, even an order of magnitude higher or more, to ensure infection (Alaux et al., 2010a; Alaux et al., 2010b, Paxton et al., 2007; Malone and Stefanovic, 1999; Higes et al., 2007; Porrini et al., 2010; Webster et al., 2004; Woyciechowski and Moron, 2009).”
Miscellaneous standard methods for Apis mellifera research (2013, background): “Exposure to carbon dioxide can result in premature aging and reduced lifespan of worker honey bees (e.g., Mackensen, 1947; Austin, 1955; Woyciechowski and Moron, 2009), as well as affect behaviour and memory (Erber, 1975; Nicolas and Sillans, 1989).”
Dynamic modelling of honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony growth and failure (2013, background): “On average bees survive less than one week of foraging (Woyciechowski and Moron, 2009).”
A review on self-destructive defense behaviors in social insects (2012, background): “Division of labor in workers is likely driven by the different risks associated with the tasks being performed and workers can adjust their labor tasks according to life expectancy (Woyciechowski and Moron, 2009; Moron et al., 2008).”
