Population genomics and morphometric assignment of western honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) in the Republic of South Africa

BMC Genomics, 2018
Backgrounds Apis mellifera scutellata and A.m. capensis (the Cape honey bee) are western honey bee subspecies indigenous to the Republic of South Africa (RSA). Both bees are important for biological and economic reasons. First, A.m.

Genetic Variation in Antimicrobial Activity of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Seminal Fluid

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Honey bees can host a remarkably large number of different parasites and pathogens, and some are known drivers of recent declines in wild and managed bee populations.

Exploring a Potential Avenue for Beekeeping in Ireland: Safeguarding Locally Adapted Honeybees for Breeding Varroa-Resistant Lines

Insects, 2023
Beekeeping in Ireland has been strongly impacted by the parasitic mite Varroa destructor, whose introduction caused alarming honeybee colony losses. If unmitigated, these losses could lead to the disappearance of the native honeybee subspecies, Apis ...

LC-HRMS-Based Non-Targeted Metabolomics for the Assessment of Honey Adulteration with Sugar Syrups: A Preliminary Study

Metabolites, 2022
Honey is a natural product that is in great demand and has a relatively high price, thus making it one of the most common targets of economically motivated adulteration.

Floral Diversity of Pollen Collected by Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.) – Validation of the Chromatic Assessment Method

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2016
Pollen collected from flowers by forager bees is the only natural protein source for the hive. This nutritional compound is fundamental for the nurse bee and brood development, and for the queen activity.

THE VITAMINE CONTENT OF HONEY AND HONEY COMB

American Journal of Physiology-Legacy Content, 1920
Dutcher1 concluded from experiments on pigeons that honey contained a small but negligible amount of antineuritic vitamine. Faber2 did not find honey to protect against scurvy in guinea pigs.The present authors carried out feeding experiments on albino rats, to determine whether the growth promoting accessories fat-soluble A and water-soluble B were ...

Evidence for virus-associated recapping behaviour in honey bees (Apis mellifera) with differential detection sensitivity between varroa-resistant and non-resistant colonies

Scientific Reports
Social immunity is vital for protecting honey bee colonies from pathogens and parasites. Among these threats, the parasitic mite Varroa destructor is particularly devastating, both by weakening parasitized bees and by transmitting several potentially ...

CVD Grown Hybrid MoSe2–WSe2 Lateral/Vertical Heterostructures With Strong Interlayer Exciton Emission

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable bottom‐up CVD methodology, based on liquid transition metal salt precursors, is presented for the controlled growth of two high‐quality MoSe2–WSe2 heterostructures (HSs): purely lateral (HS I) and hybrid lateral/vertical (HS II), by simply adjusting precursor concentration.

Honey poisoning in Turkey

The Lancet, 1991
SIR,- Food poisoning associated with honey is not uncommon in the Black Sea region of Turkey. Nectar from some plants in the area is toxic. This form of poisoning is mentioned in Xenophon's Anabasis but published reports are very rare. We describe here a large series.

Electrolyte Additive Strategies in Aqueous Zn‐Ion Batteries: Recent Advances and Prospects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the current status and future development directions of AZIBs electrolyte additives in three aspects: stabilizing zinc anodes (uniform deposition, inhibition of dendritic crystals), protecting cathodes (structural stability, inhibition of dissolution), and enhancing electrolyte stability (wider ...
