Honey bee based trust management system for cloud computing by Firdhous, Mohamed, Ghazali, Osman, Hassan, Suhaidi, Harun, Nor Ziadah, Abas, Azizi

“…In this paper, the authors propose the concept that honey bee algorithm which has been developed to solve complex optimization problems can be successfully used to address this issue.The authors have taken a closer look at the optimization problems that had been solved using the honey bee algorithm and the similarity between these problems and the cloud computing environment.Thus concluding that the honey bee algorithm could be successfully used to solve the trust management issue in cloud computing.…”

The molecular basis of socially induced egg-size plasticity in honey bees by Bin Han, Qiaohong Wei, Esmaeil Amiri, Han Hu, Lifeng Meng, Micheline K Strand, David R Tarpy, Shufa Xu, Jianke Li, Olav Rueppell

“…Spatio-temporal expression analysis via RNAscope and qPCR supports an important role of Rho1 in egg-size determination, and subsequent RNAi-mediated gene knockdown confirmed that Rho1 has a major effect on egg size in honey bees. These results elucidate how the social environment of the honey bee colony may be translated into a specific cellular process to adjust maternal investment into eggs. …”
