Cold storage as part of a Varroa management strategy: effects on honey bee colony performance, mite levels and stress biomarkers

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Placing honey bee colonies in cold storage has been proposed as a way to induce a pause in brood production as part of a Varroa mite treatment plan. Here, we exposed colonies to combinations of with or without an October cold storage period and with or ...

Emerging Risk of Cross-Species Transmission of Honey Bee Viruses in the Presence of Invasive Vespid Species

open access: yesInsects, 2022
The increase in invasive alien species is a concern for the environment. The establishment of some of these species may be changing the balance between pathogenicity and host factors, which could alter the defense strategies of native host species ...

Advances and perspectives in selecting resistance traits against the parasitic mite Varroa destructor in honey bees

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2020
Background In spite of the implementation of control strategies in honey bee (Apis mellifera) keeping, the invasive parasitic mite Varroa destructor remains one of the main causes of colony losses in numerous countries.

Genome-wide patterns of differentiation within and among U.S. commercial honey bee stocks

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2020
Background The population genetics of U.S. honey bee stocks remain poorly characterized despite the agricultural importance of Apis mellifera as the major crop pollinator. Commercial and research-based breeding programs have made significant improvements

Doo bee doo bee doo [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Functional Programming, 2020
AbstractWe explore the design and implementation of Frank, a strict functional programming language with a bidirectional effect type system designed from the ground up around a novel variant of Plotkin and Pretnar’s effect handler abstraction. Effect handlers provide an abstraction for modular effectful programming: a handler acts as an interpreter for

Judgement bias may be explained by shifts in stimulus response curves

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2023
Judgement bias, or ‘optimism’ and ‘pessimism’, has been demonstrated across many taxa, yet the cognitive mechanisms underlying this behaviour remain unclear.
