Vertical transmission of honey bee viruses in a Belgian queen breeding program [PDF]
Background: The Member States of European Union are encouraged to improve the general conditions for the production and marketing of apicultural products. In Belgium, programmes on the restocking of honey bee hives have run for many years.

Insect floral visitors vary spatiotemporally and influence fruit production in mango orchards
Native stingless bees (Tetragonula spp.) were the most abundant flower visitors in mango orchards, and their visitation sharply declined with distance from native vegetation. Hover flies and stingless bees showed complementary spatiotemporal visitation patterns, but hover flies could not fully offset pollination loss deeper in the orchard.

ABSTRACT Pollinators harbour diverse RNA viromes that play a vital role in their health. Yet, factors that shape viral communities are often unclear. The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is experiencing a viral epidemic since the emergence of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor (varroa) introduced vector‐borne transmission, which has also been ...

Foraging behavior of major insect pollinators on pumpkin, Cucurbita moschata (Duch.ex Lam) [PDF]
Foraging activity period of different honey bee species on C. moschata (C-1076) flowers at different day hours during August-September (2013) revealed that A. dorsata, A. mellifera, A. cerana and A. florea initiated their activity early in the morning at

Identification and antioxidant characterisation of thioredoxin-like1 from Apis cerana cerana [PDF]
Thioredoxins (Trxs) play a crucial role in maintaining redox homeostasis and protecting organisms against toxic reactive oxygen species. Compared with the well-studied Trxs in Mammalia, little is reported in insects. In this study, we isolated a Trx-like1 gene from Apis cerana cerana (AccTrx-like1), a single copy gene, and characterised its antioxidant
