78是一个庞大而丰富的群体，分布于世界各地，从北极到热带，每个大陆都有其社会生物学仍未知的形式。尽管有少数物种在腐烂的木头中筑巢，但大多数物种在土壤中打洞。在这个亚科中，新的、有趣的社会组织类型可能仍有待发现，因为只有一小部分物种进行了行为研究。最近的一项发现涉及食品转移。 1974 年，我强调口对口食物转移在 HALICTINAE 中是未知的，尽管在原始社会性蜜蜂的另一个主要类群 XYLOCOPINAE（见第 5 章）以及 APIDAE 和其他社会性昆虫中众所周知。因此，Kukuk 和 Schwarz (1987, 1988) 报道了澳大利亚 Lasioglossum (ChUalietus) erythrurum 群落中似乎存在这种对生殖性的现象，这一点特别令人感兴趣。对于halictid 蜜蜂来说，这是一个全新的发现。如果花蜜或其他物质被转移，就会大大扩展 HALICTINAE 社会行为的多样性。本章和下一章主要限于 1972 年以来的发现。Sakagami (1974) 和 Michener (1974) 对 HALICTINAE 进行了研究，后者与本文相关的材料主要在第 8-11 章中，背景自然历史信息在第 22-26 章中。在接下来的几页中，尽管在不同场合特别提到了这本 1974 年的书，但未注明出处的陈述也是基于它。 Knerer (l980a) 最近的一篇综述主要限于 Halietus 属的生物学。
78 are an enormous and abundant group, worldwide in distribution, arctic to tropical, and every continent has forms whose social biologies remain unknown. Although a few species nest in rotting wood, most make burrows in the soil. New and interesting types of social organization probably remain to be discovered in this subfamily, for only a tiny fraction of the species have been studied behaviorally. One recent finding concerns food transfer. In 1974 I emphasized that mouth to mouth food transfer was unknown in HALICTINAE, although well known in the other major group of primitively social bees, the XYLOCOPINAE (see chapter 5), as well as in the APIDAE and other social insects. It is therefore of special interest that Kukuk and Schwarz (1987, 1988) reported what appeared to be such trophallaxis in communal colonies of Lasioglossum (ChUalietus) erythrurum in Australia. This is an entirely new finding for halictid bees; if nectar or other materials are transferred, it considerably expands the diversity of social behaviors known among HALICTINAE. The present chapter and the next are largely limited to findings made since 1972. The HALICTINAE were treated by Sakagami (1974) and by Michener (1974), the material in the latter relevant to the present paper being largely in Chapters 8-11, with background natural history information in Chapters 22-26. In the following pages, although the 1974 book is specifically referred to on various occasions, unattributed statements are also based upon it. A more recent review, largely limited to biology of the genus Halietus, is by Knerer (l980a).
