Experimental Wing Damage Affects Foraging Effort and Foraging Distance in Honeybees Apis mellifera
Bees acquire wing damage as they age, and loss of wing area affects longevity and behaviour. This may influence colony performance via effects on worker behaviour. The effects of experimental wing damage were studied in worker honeybees in observation hives by recording survivorship, how often and f...
