Pollen Exposed to Aerial Pesticide Spray Is a Major Exposure Pathway for Stingless Bees [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Testing possible exposure routes of pesticides is essential for assessing the risks to pollinators. In Australia, the pesticide Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) is widely used in mosquito control programs and applied aerially to mangrove and

Conservation of solitary bees in power-line clearings: Sustained increase in habitat quality through woody debris removal

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Declining populations of wild pollinators have increased the interest in the management of human-modified landscapes for pollinator conservation. Modified landscape features, such as power-line clearings, may provide valuable habitats with increased ...

Simulation of Varroa mite control in honey bee colonies without synthetic acaricides: Demonstration of Good Beekeeping Practice for Germany in the BEEHAVE model

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The BEEHAVE model simulates the population dynamics and foraging activity of a single honey bee colony (Apis mellifera) in great detail. Although it still makes numerous simplifying assumptions, it appears to capture a wide range of empirical ...

Management of bulbar conjunctival injury by honeybee sting: A case report of a retained honeybee stinger

American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports, 2022
Purpose: To report a rare case of a bee sting to the conjunctiva of the eye in which the stinger remains in the subconjunctival space. Observations: We present the case of a fifty-five-year-old male who sustained a honeybee sting to the conjunctiva of ...

Towards integrated control of varroa: effect of variation in hygienic behaviour among honey bee colonies on mite population increase and deformed wing virus incidence [PDF]

, 2014
Hygienic behaviour in the honey bee, Apis mellifera, is the uncapping and removal of dead, diseased or infected brood from sealed cells by worker bees. We determined the effect of hygienic behaviour on varroa population growth and incidence of deformed ...

Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Broods: Composition, Technology and Gastronomic Applicability

Foods, 2022
Honey bee broods (larvae and pupae) can be consumed as human food, offering a rich nutritional value. Therefore, the objective of this work was to present an overview of the nutritional value of the honey bee brood and its gastronomic potential.

Integrative Genomics Reveals the Genetics and Evolution of the Honey Bee’s Social Immune System [PDF]

, 2019
Social organisms combat pathogens through individual innate immune responses or through social immunity—behaviors among individuals that limit pathogen transmission within groups.

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%

Parasitic Cape honeybee workers, Apis mellifera capensis, evade policing [PDF]

, 2002
Relocation of the Cape honeybee, Apis mellifera capensis, by bee-keepers from southern to northern South Africa in 1990 has caused widespread death of managed African honeybee, A. m. scutellata, colonies.
