• Standard methods for toxicology research in Apis mellifera (2013, methodology): “The magnitude and the duration of the effects should always be detected for following parameters: bee mortality and behaviour deviance (see Table 1), strength of the colony and honey production (Delaplane et al., 2013b), bee activity (Scheiner et al., 2013).”
• Standard methods for pollination research with Apis mellifera (2013, background): “Balancing colonies with regard to the amount of brood and number of bees they contain (see Delaplane et al., 2013) will reduce the amount of variation in the total amount of the pollen collected.”
• Population dynamics of European honey bee genotypes under different environmental conditions (2014, methodology): “Colony size was determined by estimating the adult bee population and the amount of brood present in the colony in accordance with the “Liebefeld method” (Imdorf et al., 1987; Delaplane et al., 2013).”

(2013) for how to estimate colony strength, Human et al. (2013) for estimating age of developing honey bees, and Delaplane et al. (2013) for estimating floral sources, as well as section 4 in this paper for obtaining workers from colonies for experiments.”
