An update on recent colony losses in Scotland from a sample survey covering 2006-2008 [PDF]

, 2010
Peterson et al. (2009) reported figures on honey bee colony losses from a postal survey of beekeepers in Scotland carried out in early summer 2006 on behalf of the Executive of the Scottish Beekeepers' Association (SBA). We now provide updated figures on

Molecular ecology of the honey bee Apis mellifera L. in Ireland

, 2021
The honey bee sub-species native to Ireland is Apis mellifera mellifera, referred to locally as the Black bee. It is the same sub-species that has undergone widespread extinction across the rest of its native range in northern Europe as a consequence of ...

The Process and Outcome of the Africanization of Honey Bees in Mexico: Lessons and Future Directions

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The Africanization of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) in the Americas is among the most extensive insect invasions in the world, with large-scale effects on the economy and ecology of a whole continent.

Population Genomics Reveals Genetic Diversity, Introgression, and Genetic Differentiation in Tianshan Mountains Western Honeybees (Apis mellifera)

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Tianshan Mountains, which host two native subspecies of western honeybees, represent the easternmost natural distribution limit of Apis mellifera. The managed Xinjiang black honeybee (XJ), introduced a century ago and designated as a Chinese National Animal Genetic Resource, has expanded rapidly under anthropogenic management.

Honey-derived Paenibacillus spp. with potential to affect bee brood development in Apis mellifera: Are they a new threat to honey bees?

Virulence
Honey bees are important pollinators in both agriculture and ecosystems, and their health is essential for sustainable human development. Although only two bacteria, Paenibacillus larvae and Melissococcus plutonius, have been identified as bacterial ...

Is bee‐avoidance by bird‐pollinated flowers driven by nectar robbing in Erica?

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1046-1060, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nectar robbing (consuming nectar from a perforated flower without pollinating) generally negatively affects plant fecundity, and plants exhibit multiple mechanisms in defence.

Honey bee survival mechanisms against the parasite Varroa destructor: a systematic review of phenotypic and genomic research efforts [PDF]

, 2020
The ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor is the most significant pathological threat to the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, leading to the death of most colonies if left untreated.

Transmisssion Dynamics of Enterococcus spp. Throughout the Heliconius erato phyllis (Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae) Life Cycle

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Enterococcus spp. dominate the gut microbiota of Heliconius erato phyllis, transmitted horizontally via host plants (Passiflora suberosa) and persisting through development. Multidrug‐resistant strains were found in larvae and plants, suggesting environmental reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance. This study reveals key microbial transmission dynamics

The evidence supporting the use of honey as a wound dressing

, 2006
Some clinicians are under the impression that there is little or no evidence to support the use of honey as a wound dressing. This impression is reinforced by it being concluded in systematic reviews that the evidence is not of a high standard.

Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 644-664, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...
