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%

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies.

South African Propolis: Anti‐Helicobacter pylori Activity, Chemistry, and Toxicity

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Propolis, a resin‐like substance produced by bees, has previously shown antimicrobial activity against the ulcer‐causing gut pathogen Helicobacter pylori. South African propolis, however, was yet to be investigated. This study aimed to investigate a comprehensive range of South African propolis for its antimicrobial activity against H.

Magnetoreception System in Honeybees (Apis mellifera)

PLoS ONE, 2007
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) undergo iron biomineralization, providing the basis for magnetoreception. We showed earlier the presence of superparamagnetic magnetite in iron granules formed in honeybees, and subscribed to the notion that external magnetic fields may cause expansion or contraction of the superparamagnetic particles in an orientation ...
