A short history of studies on intelligence and brain in honeybees

Abstract: Reflections about the historical roots of our current scientific endeavors are useful from time to time as they help us to acknowledge the ideas, concepts, methodological approaches, and idiosyncrasies of the researchers that paved the ground we stand on right now. The 50-year anniversary of Apidologie offers the opportunity to refresh our knowledge about the history of bee research. I take the liberty of putting the founding year of Apidologie in the middle of the period I cover here. The nascent period of be… Show more

“…For instance, they live in a society, they share food, communicate locations and even the necessity of grooming through the grooming dance [64]. Furthermore, their relatively larger brain, compared to another laboratory staple, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster , makes learning experiments simpler and easier to conduct with non-specialists [15,19].…”

“…Apis mellifera (european honeybees) provides an excellent tool for scientific engagement, of academic and lay public alike, while furthering our understanding of this critical agricultural pollinator. Honeybees have complex social interactions driven by intra-hive learning and communication [9]. They are capable of not only learning the location of food resources but also communicate to their nestmates through their waggle dance [9,10].…”
