Sensitivity to a change in reward is heritable in the honeybee, Apis mellifera

Article Abstract:

Research describing the genetic basis for food resource tracking in honeybees is presented. It is shown that individual variation in learning performance is heritable, with selection response in drones available after a single generation.
