Foods, 2021 Recently, the honey and propolis of stingless bees have been attracting growing attention because of their health-promoting properties. However, studies on these products of African Meliponini are still very scarce. In this preliminary study, we analyzed

The gut microbiome defines social group membership in honey bee colonies
Science Advances, 2020 Sharing gut bacteria provides the ticket for hive membership in honey bees. In the honey bee, genetically related colony members innately develop colony-specific cuticular hydrocarbon profiles, which serve as pheromonal nestmate recognition cues.

BMC Genomics, 2020 Background The small hive beetle, Aethina tumida, is a rapidly emerging global pest of honey bee colonies. Small hive beetle infestation can be extremely destructive, which may cause honey bees to abscond and render colony infrastructure unusable. Due to

Varroa destructor feeds primarily on honey bee fat body tissue and not hemolymph
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Varroa destructor causes considerable damage to honey bees and subsequently the field of apiculture through just one process: feeding. For five decades, we have believed that these mites consume hemolymph like a tick consumes blood, and that

Honey bee virus causes context-dependent changes in host social behavior
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance The increase in human population has fueled demand for pollination services; the resulting intensification and globalization of honey bee management has coincided with increased pathogen pressure. We hypothesized that Israeli acute paralysis

Nature, 1891 THE interior economy of the hive is known intimately to every bee-keeper; with the anatomy of its makers, rulers, citizens, not one in a hundred is familiar. The mass of facts accumulated during two centuries of discovery lies for the most part embalmed in the Proceedings of Societies, locked up in costly monographs, untranslated from foreign languages:

Journal of Ecology and Environment, 2020 Pollen is an important source of protein and lipids for many animals including honey bees. In order to understand the foraging behaviour of honey bee colonies and preference among the available floral resources, pollen collections from three experimental

Morphmetric analysis of apis cerana populations in Huangshan, China
Journal of Apicultural Science, 2013 Honey bees (Apis cerana Fabricius) were collected from 195 colonies at seven different localities spanning the main beekeeping areas in Huangshan. Morphometric methods were used to measure seven standard morphometric characters, and these bees were ...
