Killing and replacing queen-laid eggs: low cost of worker policing in the honey bee [PDF]
, 2014 Worker honeybees, Apis mellifera, police each other’s reproduction by killing worker-laid eggs. Previous experiments demonstrated that worker policing is effective, killing most (∼98%) worker-laid eggs. However, many queen-laid eggs were also killed (∼50%

First Identification of Nosema Ceranae (Microsporidia) Infecting Apis Mellifera in Venezuela
Journal of Apicultural Science, 2017 Nosema ceranae is a pathogen of Apis mellifera, which seems to have jumped from its original host Asiatic honey bee Apis ceranae. Nosemosis which affects the honey bee Apis mellifera is caused by two parasitic fungi described as etiologic agents of the ...

Fluvalinate-Induced Changes in MicroRNA Expression Profile of Apis mellifera ligustica Brain Tissue
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Fluvalinate is a widely used and relatively safe acaricide for honeybees, but it still has a negative impact on honeybee colonies. Such negative effects may be related to fluvalinate-induced brain nerve tissue damage, but the detailed molecular ...

Variation in honey bee gut microbial diversity affected by ontogenetic stage, age and geographic location [PDF]
, 2015 Social honey bees, Apis mellifera, host a set of distinct microbiota, which is similar across the continents and various honey bee species. Some of these bacteria, such as lactobacilli, have been linked to immunity and defence against pathogens. Pathogen
