Inheritance of Traits Associated with Reproductive Potential in Apis mellifera capensis and Apis mellifera scutellata Workers [PDF]
When workers of the thelytokous Cape honeybee, Apis mellifera capensis, come into contact with colonies of the neighboring arrhenotokous subspecies Apis mellifera scutellata, they can become lethal social parasites. We examined the inheritance of 3 traits (number of ovarioles, number of basitarsal hairs, and size of spermatheca) that are thought to be ...

Where the Bee Sucks -- A Dynamic Bayesian Network Approach to Decision Support for Pollinator Abundance Strategies [PDF]
For policymakers wishing to make evidence-based decisions, one of the challenges is how to combine the relevant information and evidence in a coherent and defensible manner in order to formulate and evaluate candidate policies. Policymakers often need to rely on experts with disparate fields of expertise when making policy choices in complex, multi ...

Differentiation of argentine propolis from different species of bees and geographical origins by UV spectroscopy and chemometric analysis [PDF]
Bees collect vegetal resins that they mix with their wax and mechanical impurities to elaborate propolis, whose chemical composition is complex and variable depending on botanical/geographical origin, type of bee, time of year when it was produced and ...
