Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2021 Optimal nutrition is crucial for honey bee colony growth and robust immune systems. Honey bee nutrition is complex and depends on the floral composition of the landscape. Foraging behavior of honey bees depends on both colony environment and external environment.

Sublethal Effects and Associated Risks of Acaricides Used Against <i>Varroa destructor</i> in Honey Bee (<i>Apis mellifera</i>) Colonies. [PDF]
InsectsBeekeepers widely recognize Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata: Varroidae) as one of the most serious threats to honey bee (Apis mellifera) health. To control V.

Vitellogenin plays a role in regulating honey bee swarming. [PDF]
Sci RepSwarming, 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-

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.

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
