A miR-JL-5 inhibitor modulates the proliferation of <i>Nosema cerana</i>e in <i>Apis cerana</i>. [PDF]

Front Insect Sci
Background and aimsApis cerana is the native host of Nosema ceranae (N. ceranae). Previous studies reported that N. ceranae was more harmful to the new host (Apis mellifera) than the original host that had spread globally and become one of the factors implicated in honeybee colony collapses. Therefore, it was essential to study the relationship between

POLLINATION EFFECTIVENESS OF APIS CERANA FABRICUS AND APIS MELLIFERA LINNAEUS (HYMENOPTERA: APIDAE) IN JATROPHA CURCAS L. (EUPHORBIACEAE)

Biotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2011
  Pollinators are well known to provide key ecosystem. Animal pollinators are thought to contribute between 15 and 30% of global food production and bees are recognized to be the most important taxon.

Analysis of comb-gnawing behavior in Apis cerana cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae). [PDF]

J Insect Sci
Abstract Apis cerana cerana exhibits a prominent biological trait known as comb gnawing. In this study, gnawed combs from colonies during different seasons were collected, investigating the comb age and locations of gnawing. Patterns of comb gnawing were recorded, and the effects of 2 factors, namely, comb type and season, on the mass of

Influence of nano-polystyrene on cyfluthrin toxicity in honeybee Apis cerana cerana Fabricius

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Plastics and pesticides are commonly used and often coexist in the environment. As pollinating insects, honeybees are simultaneously exposed to both these toxins. However, there has been no study on the toxic effects of nano-polystyrene plastics (nanoPS)

Use of Relay Method for Enhancing Comb Construction by Apis cerana cerana Utilizing Apis mellifera ligustica. [PDF]

Insects
Italian honey bees (IHBs, Apis mellifera ligustica) exhibit superior comb-building abilities compared with Chinese honey bees (CHBs, Apis cerana cerana), which often fail to fully utilize wax foundations, resulting in incomplete comb structures. The present study aimed to accelerate comb construction in CHB colonies using IHBs.

Varroa resistance in Apis cerana: a review

Apidologie, 2023
Varroa is a major world-wide pest to Western honey bees ( Apis mellifera ), causing huge ongoing losses of colonies every year. Conversely, the Eastern honey bee ( Apis cerana ) is less vulnerable to the mite having existed alongside it over a long ...

Gut microbiota composition and gene expression changes induced in the Apis cerana exposed to acetamiprid and difenoconazole at environmentally realistic concentrations alone or combined

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Apis cerana is an important pollinator of agricultural crops in China. In the agricultural environment, A. cerana may be exposed to acetamiprid (neonicotinoid insecticide) and difenoconazole (triazole fungicide), alone or in combination because they are ...

Ternary Mixture of Azoxystrobin, Boscalid and Pyraclostrobin Disrupts the Gut Microbiota and Metabolic Balance of Honeybees (Apis cerana cerana)

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
There is a growing risk of pollinators being exposed to multiple fungicides due to the widespread use of fungicides for plant protection. A safety assessment of honeybees exposed to multiple commonly used fungicides is urgently required.

Morphometrical analyses revealed high diversity of the eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) in mountains and islands in China

Journal of Apicultural Research, 2023
The eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) is of great importance for ecosystems and agriculture in Asia, whose diversity has yet to be explored. Previous studies have found a high diversity of A. cerana in mountainous areas or islands. To better understand the
