- W2123846120 abstract "This study investigated the relationship between colony state and foraging behaviour in honey bees, Apis mellifera L., with an emphasis on the potential for individual foragers to adjust their foraging strategies according to colony needs. In the first study I manipulated colony population sizes and assigned eight honey bee colonies to either SMALL, adult population of 10,000, or LARGE, adult population of 35,000, treatments and observed the responses of individual foragers. Predictions based on a model by Houston and co-workers (1988) suggested that an increase in population size would decrease the relative value of nectar resources. Individual nectar foragers from SMALL colonies should therefore expend a greater work effort than nectar foragers from LARGE colonies. While results were contrary to the specific predictions, and indicated that individual nectar foragers from LARGE colonies exhibited a greater work effort, they did not refute the general model by Houston et. al. (1988). Rather, they indicate that an increase in population size is associated with increases in the relative value of nectar resources. Observations of individual pollen foragers indicated that the relative value of pollen resources increased in SMALL colonies. In a second experiment I investigated the relationship between colonial brood levels and the behaviour of individual pollen foragers. I manipulated brood levels in eight colonies to either LOW, 1600 cm2 of brood, or HIGH, 9600 cm2 of brood, and observed the responses of individual pollen foragers. Pollen provides the only protein source for honey bee colonies, and a positive relationship between colonial brood levels and the relative value of pollen resources to the colony was predicted. Results supported this prediction and indicated an increased pollen demand in HIGH brood colonies. Observations of individual pollen foragers were consistent with colonial pollen demand, as individuals from HIGH brood colonies carried significantly larger pollen loads than those from LOW brood colonies. These experiments provide evidence that individual workers can assess their colony's nutritional status and can vary their specific foraging strategies according to the relative value of resources." @default.
