Stimulation of muscarinic receptors mimics experience-dependent plasticity in the honey bee brain by Ismail, N, Robinson, G.E, Fahrbach, S.E

“…Honey bees begin life working in the hive. At approximately equal to 3 weeks of age, they shift to visiting flowers to forage for pollen and nectar. Foraging…”
