Hygienic behaviour in Brazilian stingless bees

Biology Open, 2016
Social insects have many defence mechanisms against pests and pathogens. One of these is hygienic behaviour, which has been studied in detail in the honey bee, Apis mellifera.

Getting more than a fair share: nutrition of worker larvae related to social parasitism in the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera capensis [PDF]

, 2002
Besides activation of ovaries and thelytokous reproduction of Cape workers, larval nutrition is an important aspect in parasitism of the African honey bee.

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.

Ground-nesting bees prefer bare ground areas on calcareous grasslands

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Although most of the wild bee species are ground-nesting, little is known about their nesting requirements and the conservation measures to promote ground-nesting bees. Calcareous grasslands are one of the most species-rich habitats in Central Europe and

Assessing TiO2/Chitosan‐Based Hydrogels for Water Remediation: Sunlight‐Driven Degradation of Antibiotics in Water

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Chitosan–TiO2 composite hydrogels combine adsorption of organic pollutants with photocatalysis, allowing to remove 85% of a broadly diffused antibiotic (sulfamethoxazole) under direct sunlight irradiation, opening great promises for point‐of‐use, outdoor applications.

Removal new alternative to chemical and mechanical removal for the study of pollen carried on the wild bee scopae

Revista del Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, 2010
Eliminación de una nueva alternativa a la eliminación química y mecánica para el estudio del polen transportado en las abejas silvestres. El reconocimiento taxonómico y la cuantificación de los diferentes tipos de polen recogidos por las abejas ofrecen el método más directo para estudiar la dieta.
