Vitellogenin plays a role in regulating honey bee swarming [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSwarming, or colony reproduction, in honey bees (Apis mellifera) is an indicator of colony-level fitness. The drivers of swarming remain elusive at both the colony and individual bee level. Floral abundance, rapid colony growth, and congestion are colony

Stress indicator gene expression profiles, colony dynamics and tissue development of honey bees exposed to sub-lethal doses of imidacloprid in laboratory and field experiments [PDF]
, 2017 In this study, different context-dependent effects of imidacloprid exposure on the honey bee response were studied. Honey bees were exposed to different concentrations of imidacloprid during a time period of 40 days. Next to these variables, a laboratory-

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

Molecular and phylogenetic characterization of honey bee viruses, Nosema microsporidia, protozoan parasites, and parasitic mites in China [PDF]
, 2008 China has the largest number of managed honey bee colonies, which produce the highest quantity of honey and royal jelly in the world; however, the presence of honey bee pathogens and parasites has never been rigorously identified in Chinese apiaries.

A derived honey bee stock confers resistance to Varroa destructor and associated viral transmission
Scientific Reports, 2022 The ectoparasite Varroa destructor is the greatest threat to managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies globally. Despite significant efforts, novel treatments to control the mite and its vectored pathogens have shown limited efficacy, as the host ...
