Effective methods of bee pest control [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Phyllants are similar to ordinary wasps, but slightly larger than them, the body is 1.2-1.6 cm long, very mobile, the abdomen is yellow, surrounded by dark transverse lines, the legs are yellow. The head and mouth are quite large and dark.

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 ...

High sample throughput genotyping for estimating C-lineage introgression in the dark honeybee: an accurate and cost-effective SNP-based tool [PDF]
, 2018 The natural distribution of the honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) has been changed by humans in recent decades to such an extent that the formerly widest-spread European subspecies, Apis mellifera mellifera, is threatened by extinction through introgression

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.

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.

SNPs selected by information content outperform randomly selected microsatellite loci for delineating genetic identification and introgression in the endangered dark European honeybee (Apis mellifera mellifera) [PDF]
, 2016 The honeybee (Apis mellifera) has been threatened by multiple factors including pests and pathogens, pesticidesand loss of locally adapted gene complexes due to replacement and introgression. In western Europe, the geneticintegrity of the native A.

Novel diagnostic tools for Asian (Apis cerana) and European (Apis mellifera) honey authentication [PDF]
, 2018 Honey can be produced by different species of honeybees, with two being of economic importance due to their use in apiculture, namely Apis mellifera (known as European honeybee) and Apis cerana (known as Asian honeybee).
