Comparative studies on cognitive syndromes in Asian honey bees
Several students from outside India join our lab every year during the main bee season (November - March) to perform experiments for their master or PhD theses. All these studies mainly focus on comparative studies of honey bee biology. We have colonies of the three major Asian honey bee species, Apis florea, A. cerana, A. dorsata on campus and the excellent facilities at NCBS allow all kinds of molecular studies.
