Honey as a Functional Food for Apis mellifera.

Annual Review of Entomology, 2020
Although nectar is consumed, primarily as a supplemental food, by a broad range of insects spanning at least five orders, it is processed and stored by only a small number of species, most of which are bees and wasps in the superfamily Apoidea.

The Honeybee Apis mellifera

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2009
INTRODUCTIONHoneybees (Apis mellifera) are distributed throughout the world and have a critical role in the pollination of crops and pasture. Honeybees have an intricate social structure and display complex behavioral traits such as sociality, language, division of labor, and exceptional feats of learning and memory. Honeybees also exhibit polyphenism,

Genetic Diversity in Apis mellifera

2019
Apis mellifera is a widespread species that has differentiated into numerous geographic races or subspecies. These subspecies differ in various characteristics such as morphology, behavior, ecology, sensitivity to diseases and biochemical components. Since the first discovery of a biochemical polymorphism in honey bees by Mestriner some 20 years ago ...

Untargeted and Targeted Discrimination of Honey Collected by Apis cerana and Apis mellifera Based on Volatiles Using HS-GC-IMS and HS-SPME-GC-MS.

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2019
Fraudulent acts regarding honey authenticity that use Apis mellifera honey as a substitute for Apis cerana honey have garnered considerable concern in China and triggered a trust crisis from consumers.

Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Immunity

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2021
At the individual level, honey bees (Apis mellifera) rely on innate immunity, which operates through cellular and humoral mechanisms, to defend themselves against infectious agents and parasites. At the colony level, honey bees have developed collective defense mechanisms against pathogens and pests, such as hygienic and grooming behaviors.

New approach to the mitotype classification in black honeybee Apis mellifera mellifera and Iberian honeybee Apis mellifera iberiensis

Russian Journal of Genetics, 2016
The black honeybee Apis mellifera mellifera L. is today the only subspecies of honeybee which is suitable for commercial breeding in the climatic conditions of Northern Europe with long cold winters. The main problem of the black honeybee in Russia and European countries is the preservation of the indigenous gene pool purity, which is lost as a result ...

Simultaneous conditioning in honeybees (Apis mellifera).

Journal of Comparative Psychology, 1992
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) were classically conditioned with odor as conditioned stimulus (CS), sucrose as unconditioned stimulus (US), and proboscis extension as response. The purpose of Experiment 1 (Ns = 26 and 27) was to look for facilitation of forward conditioning by CS-US overlap, but rapid conditioning without overlap left little room for ...

Alcohol dehydrogenase polymorphism in Apis mellifera

Biochemical Genetics, 1977
A polymorphic system of ADH isozymes is described in the honeybee Apis mellifera. Three and six different electrophoretic patterns were found, respectively, in drone and worker pupae analysis. The data indicate that the ADH isozymes are controlled by three alleles, Adh-1(1), Adh-1(2), and Adh-1(3). The frequency of the Adh-1 alleles is different in two

[Taxonomy of Apis mellifera viruses].

Virologie (Montrouge, France), 2006
With the exception of the filamentous virus, all viruses of the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) are single stranded RNA viruses. At the time of their discovery, they have been classified as picorna-like viruses. Progress in molecular biology allowed sequencing some of them and revealed they were differed from picornaviruses. Two new taxons were therefore
