各种昆虫，尤其是群居昆虫，都带有电荷。 Erickson (1982, 1983) 表明它们与蜜蜂天线的气味受体效率有关。 此外，作者还提出了电荷在花粉粒从花朵转移到传粉昆虫中的重要性。 为了直接测量电荷，我们安装了一个传感器来确定雨滴的电荷。 测量了高度聚集的越冬蜂和觅食蜂。 冬季，各个值的范围在 -400pC 至 +600pC (m = 153 +/- 105pC) 之间。 觅食蜂具有可变电荷，通常小于越冬蜂 (m = 29 +/- 40pC)。 7.0% 的被测蜜蜂整体带负电荷，其中不到 1% 不带电荷。 蜜蜂每年周期中电荷的存在对于昆虫社会具有重要意义。 此外，电力有助于解释蜜蜂与寄生虫关系的某些方面。
Various insects, especially social insects, possess electric charges. Erickson (1982, 1983) shows their involvement in the odor receptor efficiency of honey bee antenna. Also, the author suggests the importance of charges in the transfer of pollen grains from flowers to pollinator insects. To measure directly electric charges, we fit a sensor used to determine the charges of raindrops. Strongly clustered wintering bees and foraging bees were measured. The individual values range between -400pC to +600pC (m = 153 +/- 105pC) during winter time. The foraging bees possess variable charges, generally smaller than wintering bees (m = 29 +/- 40pC). 7.0% of measured bees whole are charged negatively and less than 1% of these have no charges. The presence of electric charges throughout bees yearly cycle is significant for the insect society. Moreover electric forces contribute to explain some aspects of bee-parasite relationships.
