Glyphosate perturbs the gut microbiota of honey bees
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Increased mortality of honey bee colonies has been attributed to several factors but is not fully understood. The herbicide glyphosate is expected to be innocuous to animals, including bees, because it targets an enzyme only found in plants ...

Plant evolution can mediate negative effects from honey bees on wild pollinators
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Pollinators are introduced to agroecosystems to provide pollination services. Introductions of managed pollinators often promote ecosystem services, but it remains largely unknown whether they also affect evolutionary mutualisms between wild pollinators ...

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.

Olfactory coding in the antennal lobe of the bumble bee Bombus terrestris
Scientific Reports, 2021 Sociality is classified as one of the major transitions in evolution, with the largest number of eusocial species found in the insect order Hymenoptera, including the Apini (honey bees) and the Bombini (bumble bees).

Viral infection affects sucrose responsiveness and homing ability of forager honey bees, Apis mellifera L. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Honey bee health is mainly affected by Varroa destructor, viruses, Nosema spp., pesticide residues and poor nutrition. Interactions between these proposed factors may be responsible for the colony losses reported worldwide in recent years. In the present
