摘要

群居昆虫具有高度的合作和劳动分工。在大黄蜂中,这部分是基于大小的,较大的蜜蜂在巢外执行任务,较小的蜜蜂留在巢内,尽管大黄蜂仍然表现出相当大的行为可塑性。目前对大黄蜂来说,在蚁群之外的任务中,包括觅食、守卫和漂移(进入一个外国蚁群)的专业化程度是未知的。本研究旨在评估商业饲养的大黄蜂在野外觅食、守卫和转换蜂群的分工和专业化程度。2015年6月至8月期间,在英国苏塞克斯郡的三个农场中放置了9个工厂购买的地面炸弹虫殖民地。每个蜂群的40只工蜂都被贴上了无线电标签,蜂群入口处的一个阅读器记录了它们经过的日期、时间和蜂号。计算觅食行程的长度、次数和守卫行为,并记录漂移情况。平均(±SD)觅食行程为45±36 min,平均每天觅食次数为7.75±7.71次。守卫或觅食行为的专业化程度较低;然而,一些蜜蜂似乎比其他蜜蜂更频繁地守卫,有20只蜜蜂被归类为守卫。5只蜜蜂似乎表现出反复的“偷窃”行为,这可能是一项专业任务。任务之间的分工并不是基于大小的。综上所述,商业大黄蜂在执行巢外任务方面具有灵活性,并且可能具有多种觅食策略,包括种内抢巢。补充信息:在线版本包含补充资料,提供地址为10.1007/s10905-021-09790-0。

Investigating the Foraging, Guarding and Drifting Behaviors of Commercial Bombus terrestris.

Social insects have high levels of cooperation and division of labor. In bumble bees this is partly size-based, with larger bees performing tasks outside the nest and smaller bees remaining inside, although bumble bees still display considerable behavioral plasticity. The level of specialization in tasks outside the colony, including foraging, guarding and drifting (entering a foreign colony), is currently unknown for bumble bees. This study aimed to assess division of labor between outside tasks and the degree of specialization in foraging, guarding, and switching colonies in commercially reared bumble bees placed in the field. Nine factory-bought Bombus terrestris colonies were placed on three farms in Sussex, UK, between June and August 2015. Forty workers from each colony were radio-tagged and a reader on the colony entrance recorded the date, time and bee ID as they passed. The length and frequency of foraging trips and guarding behavior were calculated, and drifting recorded. The mean (±SD) length of foraging trips was 45 ± 36 min, and the mean number of foraging trips per day was 7.75 ± 7.71. Low levels of specialization in guarding or foraging behavior were found; however, some bees appeared to guard more frequently than others, and twenty bees were categorized as guards. Five bees appeared to exhibit repeated "stealing" behavior, which may have been a specialist task. The division of labor between tasks was not size-based. It is concluded that commercial bumble bees are flexible in performing outside nest tasks and may have diverse foraging strategies including intra-specific nest robbing.
