Honeybee Colony Vibrational Measurements to Highlight the Brood Cycle

open access: yes, 2015
Insect pollination is of great importance to crop production worldwide and honey bees are amongst its chief facilitators. Because of the decline of managed colonies, the use of sensor technology is growing in popularity and it is of interest to develop ...

Rapid disruption of pollination function by the invasive plant Impatiens glandulifera

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Invasion by Impatiens glandulifera rapidly disrupts pollination of the native plant Stachys sylvatica by altering pollen transport by shared bumblebee pollinators. A short‐term field introduction revealed a dramatic decline in conspecific pollen deposition within 4 days, showing that pollination function can collapse quickly following invasion, even ...

Fatty acid composition of pollen and the effect of two dominant fatty acids (linoleic and oleic) in pollen and flour diets on longevity and nutritional composition of honey bees (apis mellifera)

open access: yes, 2006
The size of the apiculture industry in Western Australia (W.A.) is one of the smallest in the nation but the production of pollen and honey per colony is the highest in Australia.

Attraction of nocturnal scarab beetles by unusual floral volatiles in a Banksia (Proteaceae) with functionally diverse pollinators

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...

Dynamics of the content of trace elements in royal jelly of different breeds (subspecies) of honey bees depending on the month of its collection

open access: yesБіологія тварин
Royal jelly is a unique product of worker bees, namely the secret of their pharyngeal and maxillary glands. It is the main source of nutrients and biologically active substances for larvae and queens.

The use of edible insects in human food

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Análisis de introgresión en Apis mellifera iberiensis y Apis mellifera mellifera usando polimorfismos de nucleótidos simples (SNPs)

open access: yes, 2014
Diferentes estudios han agrupado las subespecies de A. mellifera en cuatro linajes evolutivos basados sobre marcadores morfométricos, ecológicos, microsatélites y mtDNA: Africano (A), Medio Oriente (O), Este y Centro de Europa (C), Norte y Oeste de ...

Beyond Average Hive Performance: Tail Risk Measurement in Italian Apiculture With Honey‐at‐Risk

open access: yesEnvironmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper provides a framework for measuring honey‐production risk that complements standard mean‐based analyses by explicitly targeting downside tail risk. Using hive‐weight data from a large sample of Italian hives over the period 2021–2024, downside tail risk is quantified through the Honey‐at‐Risk (HaR) metric, defined as the quantile of ...

The Odorant-Binding Protein Gene obp11 Shows Different Spatiotemporal Roles in the Olfactory System of Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis cerana cerana

open access: yesSociobiology, 2013
Odorant-binding proteins participate in the olfactory system of the honeybee. Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis cerana cerana are species of honeybee that have different biologic functions.

The amino terminal domain of the human α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit leads to the functional expression of human/insect receptors

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 13, Page 3517-3537, July 2026.
Human α7 receptors have been characterised in terms of pharmacological properties. Insertion of the N‐terminal domain of the human α7 subunit leads to honeybee and cockroach chimeric receptors activated by ACh and inhibited by α‐Bgt. Insertion of the human cys‐loop leads to cockroach chimeric receptors modulated by PNU.
