Background Bee colony sound is a continuous, low-frequency buzzing that varies with the environment or colony’s behavior and considered meaningful. Bees use sounds to communicate within hive, bee investigation can reveal helpful information about circumstances in colony. Therefore, one crucial step analyzing extract appropriate acoustic feature. Methods This article uses VGGish (a visual geometry group—like audio classification model) embedding Mel-frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC)...
Fear can have strong ecosystem effects by giving predators a role disproportionate to their actual kill rates. In bees, fear is shown through foragers avoiding dangerous food sites, thereby reducing the fitness of pollinated plants. However, it remains unclear how affects pollinators in complex natural scenario involving multiple predator species and different patch qualities. We studied hornets, Vespa velutina (smaller) V. tropica (bigger) preying upon Asian honey bee, Apis cerana China....
Abstract Bees dance to deliver food vectors that contain information regarding distance gauging and spatial orientation. The eastern honey bee, Apis cerana , also transmits this vector through waggle dance. Although many reports have published on topic, changes in parameters of A. occur at different distances are unclear. Herein, we filmed the bees’ foraging until bees stopped collecting food, analyzed these videos frame by frame, set a feeder four cardinal directions record with azimuth...
