Apitoxin harvest impairs hypopharyngeal gland structure in Apis mellifera honey bees [PDF]
Apidologie, 2017 Apitoxin harvesting is a stressful practice for honey bees Apis mellifera L. due to the release of alarm pheromones that alter communication and behaviour and may also affect their physiology. Thus, the goal of this research was to verify the effects of apitoxin harvesting on the development of the hypopharyngeal glands (HGs), evaluating the number and
