In Search of Apis mellifera pomonella in Kazakhstan

Life, 2023
Apis mellifera pomonella is one of two subspecies that represent the eastern limits of honey bee (Apis mellifera) distribution, and it is important to understand its biogeography and evolution. Despite this, A. m. pomonella was not investigated after its

Tissue‐Specific Plasticity of DNA Methylation Across Intertidal Microhabitats in Juvenile Mussels (Mytilus californianus)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Epigenetic modifications to DNA are proposed to underpin plastic responses to environmental change, and the manner in which DNA methylation contributes to plasticity likely differs among tissues. However, few studies have investigated tissue‐specific DNA methylation responses to ecologically relevant environmental stressors in natural settings.

Heritability of hygienic behavior in grey honey bees (Apis mellifera carnica) [PDF]

Acta veterinaria, 2008
Breeding grey A. m. carnica queens for hygienic behavior is beneficial for commercial beekeeping in Serbia, since hygienic behavior is associated with the resistance to the mite Varroa destructor, as well as to American foulbrood and chalk brood. In this work, heritability of hygienic behavior was analyzed in autochthonous grey A. m. carnica honey bees

Seasonal shifts in mitochondrial and reactive oxygen species metabolism are linked to ultrastructural remodelling in honey bees (Apis mellifera)

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 12, Page 4745-4770, 15 June 2026.
Abstract figure legend Seasonal changes profoundly reshape honey bee mitochondrial metabolism. In winter, bees shift from complex I (CI)‐ to mitochondrial glycerol‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (mG3PDH)‐ and complex II (CII)‐linked respiration. Despite lower CI‐linked respiration ATP production is maintained, suggesting increased energetic efficiency in ...

Analysis of Dendritic Specializations in Two Classes of Kenyon Cells in the Mushroom Body of the Adult Honeybee, Apis mellifera

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 5, May 2026.
Honeybee mushroom bodies (MBs), sites for learning and memory, house two classes of intrinsic neurons: class I and II Kenyon cells (KCs) that form synaptic complexes with boutons of projection neurons (PNs) from primary sensory neuropils. Dendrites of both KC classes were restricted to distinct unimodal MB compartments.

Hypergravity Impact on Fertility of Apis mellifera carnica Queens – Case Study

Microgravity Science and Technology
AbstractThe launch is considered the most stressful rocket flight stage due to the hypergravity occurrences. The possibility of using honey bees (Apis mellifera) as the extraterrestrial pollinator depends on their ability to reproduce correctly after experiencing hypergravity.

Air pollution and its multifaceted effects on insect pollinators: A review

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 1-17, February 2026.
Air pollution disrupts plant‐pollinator interactions by impairing floral signal transmission, altering foraging behaviour, and reducing pollinator fitness, flight efficiency, reproduction and survival, posing serious threats to ecological stability.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HYPOPHARYNGEAL GLANDS IN HONEYBEES (Apis mellifera carnica) FROM A NURSE COLONY

Slovenian Veterinary Research, 2015
The development and size of hypopharyngeal glands (HPGs) in workers sampled from the nurse colony was compared to workers from the control queen-right honeybee colony. The diameter of the acini in workers (age 1 to 30 days) from the nurse colony ranged from 109.2 to 180.9 μm, and in workers of the same age from the control colony was between 100.8 and ...

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

Journal 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 ...
