Distinct roles of claws and adhesive pads in honey bees determine their adhesive performance under varying surface roughness conditions through a dual-mode synergistic adhesion mechanism.

Surface roughness is a critical factor that affects surface adhesion in bees. Investigating the mechanisms underlying surface adhesion in bees on substrates with varying surface roughness levels provides a theoretical basis for designing bioinspired adhesives and micro-climbing robots. In this study...
