Social encapsulation of parasite eggs by honeybee colonies. [PDF]
Sci RepEusocial insect colonies can choose different behaviours to combat the same parasites. While honeybee (HB), Apis mellifera, colonies remove eggs and larvae of parasitic small hive beetles (SHB), Aethina tumida, they encapsulate adults in propolis.

Comparative genomics suggests local adaptations in the invasive small hive beetle
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Invasive species are a major driver of ecological and environmental changes that affect human health, food security, and natural biodiversity. The success and impact of biological invasions depend on adaptations to novel abiotic and biotic selective ...
