Differentiation of argentine propolis from different species of bees and geographical origins by UV spectroscopy and chemometric analysis [PDF]

, 2018
Bees collect vegetal resins that they mix with their wax and mechanical impurities to elaborate propolis, whose chemical composition is complex and variable depending on botanical/geographical origin, type of bee, time of year when it was produced and ...

Honey bees change the microbiota of pollen

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2022
Background: Pollen, as all other plant tissues, harbors different microorganisms. As honey bees (Apis mellifera) collect and pack pollen they add regurgitated nectar to moisten and glue the pollen grains, possibly changing the microbial composition ...

Anarchy in the UK: Detailed genetic analysis of worker reproduction in a naturally occurring British anarchistic honeybee, Apis mellifera, colony using DNA microsatellites [PDF]

, 2002
Anarchistic behaviour is a very rare phenotype of honeybee colonies. In an anarchistic colony, many workers’ sons are reared in the presence of the queen. Anarchy has previously been described in only two Australian colonies.

Bio‐Based Wax Interfaces for Droplet Energy Harvesting at Fluoropolymer‐Like Output Levels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Replacing unsustainable fluorinated polymers in droplet‐based energy harvesters is usually limited by low power outputs, but carefully selected bio‐based polymers are capable of creating fluoropolymer‐like voltage outputs. Abstract Droplet impact and rebound on solid surfaces has emerged as a promising method for energy harvesting, typically ...

Wild bee toxicity data for pesticide risk assessments [PDF]

, 2019
Pollination services are vital for agriculture, food security and biodiversity. Although many insect species provide pollination services, honeybees are thought to be the major provider of this service to agriculture. However, the importance of wild bees

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Adjustment of Wettability in Biomaterials: Evaluation of the Impact of Red Propolis Fractions on Electrospun Poly(ε‐caprolactone)

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates the modulation of wettability in biomaterials through the incorporation of distinct fractions of red propolis into electrospun poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL). Chromatographic analysis revealed that the hydroalcoholic extract contains a significantly higher concentration of active compounds, particularly flavonoids, compared
