Enzymes in honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) hemolymph
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1972 Abstract 1. 1. Esterase, malate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase isozymes from the hemolymph of mature adult worker honey bees ( Apis mellifera L.) were electrophoretically separated on polyacrylamide gel. 2. 2.

Killing and replacing queen-laid eggs: low cost of worker policing in the honey bee [PDF]
, 2014 Worker honeybees, Apis mellifera, police each other’s reproduction by killing worker-laid eggs. Previous experiments demonstrated that worker policing is effective, killing most (∼98%) worker-laid eggs. However, many queen-laid eggs were also killed (∼50%

Heterospecific Hymenoptera found inside the nests of Bombus impatiens (Hymenoptera: Apidae). [PDF]
, 2018 The nests of social Hymenoptera are particularly attractive to species engaging in resource robbing due to their concentration of resources. Here, the identity of heterospecific intruders in Bombus impatiens nests are described, with a particular focus ...

Hoarding by honeybees (Apis mellifera L.)
Animal Behaviour, 1972 Abstract The food hoarding by groups of fifty bees kept in small cages and provided with sugar syrup was studied. Less food was stored in a new comb than in an old one, whether the old comb had been used for storing food or rearing brood, and there was less in drone than in worker combs.

Deformed Wing Virus Infection in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.)
Veterinary Pathology-Supplement, 2019 Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a single-stranded RNA virus of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) transmitted by the parasitic mite Varroa destructor. Although DWV represents a major threat to honey bee health worldwide, the pathological basis of DWV infection ...
