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 ...

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 ...

Anarchy in the UK: Detailed genetic analysis of worker reproduction in a naturally occurring British anarchistic honeybee, Apis mellifera, colony using DNA microsatellites [PDF]
, 2002 Anarchistic behaviour is a very rare phenotype of honeybee colonies. In an anarchistic colony, many workers’ sons are reared in the presence of the queen. Anarchy has previously been described in only two Australian colonies.
