Haemolymph sugar homeostasis and the control of the proventriculus in the honeybee (Apis mellifera carnica L.)
… the regulation of the honeybee proven-triculus, foraging bees were injected either with metabolisable (glucose, fructose, trehalose), or non-metabolisable sugars (sorbose). Bees reacted to injections of metabolisable sugars with reduced crop-emptying rates, but injection of non-metabolisable …

Grip, slip, petals, and pollinators: Linking the biomechanics, behaviour and ecology of interactions between bees and plants
… explore how petal surface roughness affects bee foraging behaviour. Lab-based foraging trials on $\textit{B. terrestris}$ visiting artificial flowers varying in slope, surface texture and sugar reward revealed a trade-off between the biomechanical difficulty of visiting and handling the ‘flowers’ …

Foraging and Menstruation in the Hadza of Tanzania
… very similar resources, the Hadza maintain a foraging lifestyle characterised by a sexual division of labour. Studies of their foraging and food sharing habits serve as the foundation to numerous hypotheses of human behaviour and evolution. Data from the Hadza have featured heavily in debates …
