Abstract:
Floral preferences of generalist foragers such as eusocial bees influence the success of pollination of many flowering plants, as well as competition with many other bee species in tropical communities. Eusocial bees are important for the pollination success of many flowering plants, as well as for food resources availability for many other species. However, their foraging preferences are still unknown in many tropical areas, especially in the Afrotropics. We studied the foraging activity of two syntopic eusocial bees with large colonies, the honeybee Apis mellifera Linnaeus and the stingless

Abstract:
In the present study we inventoried the diversity of eusocial bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in preserved and anthropized areas of a tropical dry forest in the Parque da Sapucaia (Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil). We tested the hypothesis that the diversity of bee species would: 1) be greater in the preserved areas, 2) respond positively to the structure of the vegetation and 3) decrease during the dry season. We sampled eusocial bee species in 18 plots of 10 x 10 m distributed throughout the park, being nine plots in anthropized areas and nine plots in areas with preserved vegetation. In tota

Abstract:
Adipokinetic hormone receptor (AKHR) was regarded as the crucial regulator of lipid consuming, but now has been renewed as a pluripotent neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptor. It has been identified in all sequenced bee genomes from the solitary to the eusocial. In the current study, we try to clarify the transitions of AKHR on lipid utilization and other potential functions from solitary to eusocial bees. The results showed that the AKHRs were divided into different groups based on their social complexity approximately. Nevertheless, the critical motifs and tertiary structures were highly c

Abstract:
Social interactions can facilitate transmission of microbes between individuals, reducing variation in gut communities within social groups. Thus, the evolution of social behaviours and symbiont community composition have the potential to be tightly linked. We explored this connection by characterizing the diversity of bacteria associated with both eusocial and solitary bee species within the behaviourally variable family Halictidae using 16S amplicon sequencing. Contrary to expectations, we found few differences in bacterial abundance or variation between social forms; most halictid species a

Abstract:
The bee family Halictidae is reported for the first time from the Miocene maar of Öhningen, Germany. The family is represented by a distinctive species attributed to the nominate genus Halictus Latreille (Halictinae: Halictini: Halictina). Halictus archaeocephalus sp. n. is remarkable given that the holotype is a macrocephalic female, with an enlargement of the head quite similar to that of some females in eusocial species of Halictus. This suggests that this species was perhaps also dynamically eusocial and may even have been facultatively eusocial like some of its modern congeners. Regardles

Abstract Aculeate wasps are characterized by the modification of the ovipositor into a sting. All other Hymenoptera deposit their eggs through their ovipositor, while aculeates instead lay their eggs from the base of their sting, and this structure now serves to inject venom into prey and enemies. All members of Aculeata form a monophyletic lineage comprising three superfamilies: Chrysidoidea (seven families), Apoidea (11 families; includes bees and digger wasps; Fig. 1), and Vespoidea (10 families; includes spider wasps, hornets, and ants).

Abstract A sweat bee biologist writing about multiple foundress associations faces two main problems: the wide range of subtly different organizational patterns exhibited by such societies and the dearth of detailed information on the topic. Three additional difficulties apply to any explanations of sweat bee sociobiology aimed at a more general audience. First, it is difficult to apply standard terms such as ‘queen’ and ‘worker’ to individuals in many sweat bee societies. In most eusocial Hymenoptera the queen lays most, or all, of the eggs and is often easily distinguished from workers with

Abstract Eusocial insects are characterized by the presence of reproductive division of labour, such that some individuals forego or reduce personal reproduction to help rear the offspring of others, usually kin (Wilson 1971; Michener 1974). Among Hymenoptera (ants, bees, and wasps) and Isoptera (termites), eusociality also involves cooperative brood care and generation overlap, whereas among Homo- ptera (aphids) and polyembryonic wasps (family Encyrtidae) more or less sterile juvenile ‘soldier’ morphs defend their habitat and the individuals therein against predation or usurpation (Aoki 1977,

Abstract Sociality—cooperative nest building and the sharing of tasks—has evolved in all higher orders of insects (Holldobler and Wilson 1990). Of these higher orders, the Hymenoptera (ants, bees, and wasps) and Isoptera (termites) are remarkable for the variety of social systems they include. Their life histories vary from solitary, to “primitively” social (individuals living in colonies with primitive caste systems; that is, they differ in physiology and size), to highly “eusocial” (individuals living in colonies characterized by reproductive and worker castes).

Workers which cannot leave any progeny (including male eggs), such as the soldiers of termites and aphids, are unable to gain any fitness from mutualism with unrelated colony members. Even for workers which can reproduce after the death of queens, the probability of succeeding the queen is almost zero if the colony size is more than 1000.

The queen and the workers represent the female caste that develops from fertilized eggs, whereas the drones are male bees formed from unfertilized or fertilized eggs. In the case of the female honey bees, the phenomenon of polyphenism can be easily highlighted, which is the developmental plasticity of
