Honeybees Collecting Latex From Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) in Puerto Rico Reveal a Novel Interaction With Broad Eco‐Evolutionary Implications

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This article showcases a unique natural history observation of honeybees collecting latex from the breadfruit tree (Artocarpus altilis), both nonnative species in Puerto Rico. This represents a unique interaction and here we explore how this behavior may come about in novel ecosystems.

Shading of Africanized honeybees hives in Brazilian Semiarid

, 2017
In Northeast Brazil, beekeeping has an enormous growth potential, however, in most of this region, the climate is considered semi-arid with high levels of solar radiation, high temperatures and low rainfall intensity. This type of environment has caused many losses in honey production and generated enormous growth difficulties in the sector. Every year

Biased allele expression and aggression in hybrid honeybees may be influenced by inappropriate nuclear-cytoplasmic signaling

Frontiers in Genetics, 2015
Hybrid effects are often exhibited asymmetrically between reciprocal families. One way this could happen is if silencing of one parent’s allele occurs in one lineage but not the other, which could affect the phenotypes of the hybrids asymmetrically by ...

FLIGHT RANGE OF AFRICANIZED HONEYBEES, Apis mellifera L. 1758 (Hymenoptera: Apidae) IN AN APPLE GROVE

Scientia Agricola, 1997
Africanized honeybees from five colonies were marked with P-32 and taken to an apple grove for a flight behavior study. The method used to determine the flight range was to put out an array of tagged trees in a cross pattern with the colonies arranged in
