Calcium Sensor Implant Sheds Light On Bee Brain Activity
The “sensor bee” can be used to investigate how bees process external stimuli and how their social behaviour is represented in the brain, undated photo. Researchers from higher education institutions in Germany, Italy and France launched a study to determine which of a honeybee's brain cells were activated by smells and how this information was distributed.

Oxford Study Confirms Pesticides’ Harmful Impact On Bees
The bee's optomotor response is tested by showing videos of horizontally moving vertical bars to her on two screens, creating the illusion of optic flow in undated photo. Researchers in the United Kingdom have used an insect version of the straight-line walking challenge to show for the first time that insecticides damage the nervous system of honeybees.
