Comparative scototaxis among four honey bee species
Honey bees can swim on the water surface toward dark regions, a behavior known as scototaxis that may facilitate escape from water. Although this behavior has been reported in both honey bees and solitary bees, variation among honey bee species remains poorly understood. We compared scototaxis during swimming in four honey bee species representing two nesting types: open-nesting (Apis florea and…
