Energetic optimisation of foraging honeybees: flexible change of strategies in response to environmental challenges.
Heterothermic insects like honeybees, foraging in a variable environment, face the challenge of keeping their body temperature high to enable immediate flight and to promote fast exploitation of resources. Because of their small size they have to cope with an enormous heat loss and, therefore, high...
