Metabolomics-based biomarker discovery for bee health monitoring : a proof of concept study concerning nutritional stress in Bombus terrestris [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Bee pollinators are exposed to multiple natural and anthropogenic stressors. Understanding the effects of a single stressor in the complex environmental context of antagonistic/synergistic interactions is critical to pollinator monitoring and may serve ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the dusky brown-gray–colored honeybee, Apis mellifera (insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae) of New Zealand

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
We analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the dusky brown-gray–colored honeybee Apis mellifera, collected from North Island, New Zealand. We determined that the mitochondrial genome was a 16,336 bp and predicted 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 ...

Honey bees (Apis mellifera spp.) respond to increased aluminum exposure in their foraging choice, motility, and circadian rhythmicity.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Aluminum is increasingly globally bioavailable with acidification from industrial emissions and poor mining practices. This bioavailability increases uptake by flora, contaminating products such as fruit, pollen, and nectar. Concentrations of aluminum in

Neuronal Plasticity in the Mushroom Bodies of Winter Bees Is Retained Despite Substantially Advanced Age

open access: yesDevelopmental Neurobiology, Volume 85, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Honeybee (Apis mellifera) workers exhibit remarkable behavioral plasticity throughout adult life. In spring and summer, they transition through diverse tasks over a short lifespan of 4–6 weeks. This involves dramatic changes in sensory environment and cognitive demands associated with pronounced structural neuronal plasticity in the mushroom ...

When African and European Lineages Meet: The Genetic Landscape of Honey Bees in Argentina

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Using a 272‐SNP panel, we explored how Africanized (AHB) and European (EHB) honeybee populations interact across Argentina's diverse landscapes. A clear latitudinal pattern in Africanization, with an interesting inverse relationship between African (A) and European (C) ancestry.

In Vitro and In Vivo Effect of Amitraz on Honey Bee Drone Sperm Quality

open access: yesActa Zoologica, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 493-502, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Honey bee hive infestation by the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, has been a major cause of declining populations. Treating such infestations is important for sustainability. Knowledge about the sub‐lethal effects of commonly used acaricides on drone reproductive health, particularly sperm quality, is limited. The effect of in vitro and

Antifungal Activities of Propolis Collected by Different Races of Honeybees Against Yeasts Isolated From Patients With Superficial Mycoses

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
Yeasts isolated from patients with superficial mycoses were tested against propolis samples collected from different regions and honeybee races. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values obtained using the agar dilution methods were compared to ...
