Does the waggle dance help honey bees to forage at greater distances than expected for their body size? [PDF]

, 2015
A honey bee colony has been likened to an oil company. Some members of the company or colony prospect for valuable liquid resources. When these are discovered other group members can be recruited to exploit the resource. The recruitment of nestmates to a

Floral trait similarity at the community‐level increases reproductive success suggesting facilitation through pollinator sharing

Oikos, EarlyView.
The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...

When honeybees come to town: Critical aspects of urban beekeeping and opportunities for regulation

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban areas are increasingly valued for their role in conserving wild pollinators. Honeybees are often regarded as ambassador species for pollinator conservation, and beekeeping is frequently perceived as a pro‐biodiversity activity, which has become highly popular in urban areas.

Comparative lipidomic and proteomic analysis reveals species-specific differences in midgut composition and insecticide absorption between Apis mellifera and Bombus terrestris. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Lipidomic and proteomic analysis revealed large‐scale differences in the midgut composition of the honeybee Apis mellifera and the buff‐tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris. These differences correlated to increased insecticide absorption in the bumblebee when using an ex vivo Ussing chamber and subsequently in vivo feeding assay (created in Biorender ...

Combined nutritional stress and a new systemic pesticide (flupyradifurone, Sivanto®) reduce bee survival, food consumption, flight success, and thermoregulation. [PDF]

, 2019
Flupyradifurone (FPF, Sivanto®) is a new butenolide insecticide that, like the neonicotinoids, is a systemic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist.

Omics Insights Into the Effects of Highbush Blueberry and Cranberry Crop Agroecosystems on Honey Bee Health and Physiology

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital pollinators in fruit‐producing agroecosystems like highbush blueberry (HBB) and cranberry (CRA). However, their health is threatened by multiple interacting stressors, including pesticides, pathogens, and nutritional changes.

The Modified Pharaoh Approach: Stingless bees mummify beetle parasites alive [PDF]

, 2008
Social insect colonies usually live in nests, which are often invaded by parasitic species^1^. Workers from these colonies use different defence strategies to combat invaders^1^.

Brownotate, a Comprehensive Solution to Generate Protein Sequence Databases for Any Species

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteomics is strengthening research in biology and the diversification of the model organisms studied is very promising for fully understanding the complexity of biological principles. However, the lack of protein sequence databases for many species is a major bottleneck.

So near and yet so far: Harmonic radar reveals reduced homing ability of nosema infected honeybees [PDF]

, 2014
Pathogens may gain a fitness advantage through manipulation of the behaviour of their hosts. Likewise, host behavioural changes can be a defence mechanism, counteracting the impact of pathogens on host fitness.
