The Heat Shock Response in the Western Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) is Antiviral
Viruses, 2020 Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are an agriculturally important pollinator species that live in easily managed social groups (i.e., colonies). Unfortunately, annual losses of honey bee colonies in many parts of the world have reached unsustainable levels ...

Thelytoky in the honey bee [PDF]
Apidologie, 2014 Thelytoky, the asexual production of females, is rare in honey bees. However, it is ubiquitous in workers of the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera capensis. Thelytoky allows some workers to be reincarnated into the queen phenotype, and thereby selects for reproductive competition among workers.

Viral species differentially influence macronutrient preferences based on honey bee genotype
Biology Open, 2022 Food quantity and macronutrients contribute to honey bee health and colony survival by mediating immune responses. We determined if this held true for bees injected with chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) and deformed wing virus (DWV), two common honey ...
