The cost of promiscuity: sexual transmission of Nosema microsporidian parasites in polyandrous honey bees [PDF]
Multiple mating (and insemination) by females with different males, polyandry, is widespread across animals, due to material and/or genetic benefits for females.

Verteilung von Varroa jacobsoni im drohnenfreien Bienenvolk (Apis mellifera carnica) [PDF]
On a verifie la presence/absence de l'acarien Varroa jacobsoni sur environ 800 abeilles recemment ecloses et prelevees dans une colonie a l'automne. Les abeilles ont ete marquees, puis reintroduites dans la ruche. L'infestation par les acariens des abeilles marquees a ete regulierement controlee pendant 30 j (tableau I).

Thermoregulation im Brutbereich der Honigbiene Apis mellifera carnica [PDF]
Honigbienen (Apis mellifera carnica) regulieren die Temperatur ihrer Brut in einem sehr engen Temperaturfenster, da vor allem die gedeckelte Brut sehr temperaturempfindlich reagiert (Groh et al. 2004). Die Thermoregulation ist nicht – wie lange angenommen – Beiprodukt von alltäglichen Arbeiten der Bienen im Brutbereich, sondern eine aktive und Energie-

Honeybee rebel workers invest less in risky foraging than normal workers [PDF]
In eusocial insect colonies, workers have individual preferences for performing particular tasks. Previous research suggests that these preferences might be associated with worker reproductive potential; however, different studies have yielded ...

Protein levels and colony development of Africanized and European honey bees fed natural and artificial diets [PDF]
Pollen substitute diets are a valuable resource for maintaining strong and health honey bee colonies. Specific diets may be useful in one region or country and inadequate or economically unviable in others.
