First large-scale genomic prediction in the honey bee [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Genomic selection has increased genetic gain in several livestock species, but due to the complicated genetics and reproduction biology not yet in honey bees. Recently, 2 970 queens were genotyped to gather a reference population. For the application of genomic selection in honey bees, this study analyses the predictive ability and bias of pedigree ...

Impacts of seasonality and parasitism on honey bee population dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The honeybee plays an extremely important role in ecosystem stability and diversity and in the production of bee pollinated crops. Honey bees and other pollinators are under threat from the combined effects of nutritional stress, parasitism, pesticides, and climate change that impact the timing, duration, and variability of seasonal events.
