Genetic integrity of the Dark European honey bee (Apis mellifera mellifera) from protected populations: a genome-wide assessment using SNPs and mtDNA sequence data [PDF]
, 2014 The recognition that the Dark European honey bee, Apis mellifera mellifera, is increasingly threatened in its native range has led to the establishment of conservation programmes and protected areas throughout western Europe.

Genetic methods in honey bee breeding
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2023 The honey bee Apis mellifera is a rather difficult object for selection due to the peculiarities of its biology. Breeding activities in beekeeping are aimed at obtaining bee colonies with high rates of economically useful traits, such as productivity ...

Sequential hygienic behavior in Carniolan honey bees (Apis mellifera carnica)
Genetics and Molecular Research, 2009 We examined the sequence, order or steps of hygienic behavior (HB) from pin-killed pupae until the removal of them by the bees. We conducted our study with four colonies of Apis mellifera carnica in Germany and made four repetitions. The pin-killing method was used for evaluation of the HB of bees.

The effect of age and sexual maturation on thermal preferences of honey bee drones [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 The thermal preferences of Apis mellifera carnica drones (male individuals) are poorly understood, though their reproductive quality affects the quality of the inseminated queen and the whole honey bee colony.

Land Use and Season Interactively Affect Honeybee (<i>Apis mellifera</i>) Body Size and Fat Stores. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHabitat fragmentation and loss due to anthropogenic activities have impacted the foraging success of many animals, including pollinators. In this study, we found that summer honeybees in urban and mixed habitats were smaller and had greater wing wear but had larger fat stores compared to those in agricultural areas, where fat stores dropped during the ...
