Over the past few decades there has been an overall decline in the number of pollinators, including wild bees, partly due to stress factors such as the availability of food resources, nest site availability and pesticide usage. Managed honey bees have also been negatively impacted in certain regions, such as the USA. One of the major stress factors facing bees currently is land use change, where natural landscapes are decreasing and often converted to either agricultural or urban land. Here, we assess directly the link between landscape diversity, edge density and honey bee learning, by analysing how honey bee visual learning ability varies across different landscapes, using a field-adapted version of the proboscis extension response. It was previously thought that honey bees from hives based in different landscapes may vary in visual learning abilities because of their different experiences and neural plasticity. Thus, bees that have experience in more complex learning environments may do better in learning tasks. To test this, bees were taught to associate a coloured yellow paper strip with a positive sugar reward and a blue coloured strip with a negative salt reward. Results showed that as edge density increased in the landscape, visual learning in bees reduced, and when landscape diversity increased, so did learning. This is important as bees must learn foraging routes, find profitable flowers and develop spatial maps, as well as recognise intruders. If their cognitive abilities are reduced and they are unable to carry out these tasks, this will be detrimental for the continuous development of the colony.
