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

Epigenetics for behavioral ecologists (2013, background): “Given the wealth of genes implicated in environmentally dependent social behavior (Whitfield et al. 2006), it would be interesting to determine whether any of these candidates are epigenetically controlled and responsible for environmentally sensitive sociality in Halictine bees.”
The development of collective personality: the ontogenetic drivers of behavioral variation across groups (2014, background): “Indeed, in honey bees, behavioral transitions across tasks (often referred to as task polyethism) correlate with widespread changes in brain gene expression (Whitfield et al., 2003, 2006; Alaux et al., 2009).”
Within-nest temporal polyethism in the honey bee (2008, background): “Finally, the term “hive bee” is in wide use by many researchers of temporal polyethism (Huang and Robinson 1999; Robinson 2002; Amdam and Omholt 2003; Amdam et al. 2004; Amdam and Page 2005; Toth and Robinson 2005; Whitfield et al. 2006; Page and Amdam 2007).”
