The influence of the vibration signal on worker interactions with the nest and nest mates in established and newly founded colonies of the honey bee, Apis mellifera

INSECTES SOCIAUX, 54(2), 144–149.

By: T. Cao*, K. Hyland n, A. Malechuk*, L. Lewis* & S. Schneider*

author keywords: vibration signal; modulatory communication; information flow; communication signals; trophallaxis
TL;DR: The vibration signal may help to adjust worker activity to colony conditions partly by stimulating greater numbers of bees to acquire information about colony needs, rather than by altering the level at which individual recipients react to the signal. (via Semantic Scholar)

2007 journal article

Vibration signal behaviour and the use of modulatory communication in established and newly founded honeybee colonies

ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 73, 541–551.

By: K. Hyland n, T. Cao*, A. Malechuk*, L. Lewis* & S. Schneider*

author keywords: Apis mellifera; colony founding; cooperation; honeybee; hymenoptera; division of labour; modulatory communication; nest building; social stimulation; vibration signals
TL;DR: The vibration signal may have helped to adjust worker activity to the resource and labour demands associated with nest founding primarily by activating larger proportions of the less active work force, rather than by increasing the individual work efforts of recipients in the newly founded colonies relative to those in established colonies.
