The organizational impact of chronic heat: diffuse brood comb and decreased carbohydrate stores in honey bee colonies

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Insect pollinators are vital to the stability of a broad range of both natural and anthropogenic ecosystems and add billions of dollars to the economy each year. Honey bees are perhaps the best studied insect pollinator due to their economic and cultural

Patterns of viral prevalence and load show independent circulation of some honey bee viruses in wild bees

open access: yesScientific Reports
Honey bee (Apis mellifera) – associated viruses are increasingly detected in wild bees, but the extent and direction of transmission between wild bees and honey bees remain unclear. We surveyed wild bees from 23 genera alongside sympatric A.

Fatty acid composition of pollen and the effect of two dominant fatty acids (linoleic and oleic) in pollen and flour diets on longevity and nutritional composition of honey bees (apis mellifera) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The size of the apiculture industry in Western Australia (W.A.) is one of the smallest in the nation but the production of pollen and honey per colony is the highest in Australia.

Honey bees navigate according to a map-like spatial memory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
By using harmonic radar, we report the complete flight paths of displaced bees. Test bees forage at a feeder or are recruited by a waggle dance indicating the feeder.

Effect of feeds in developing the hypopharyngeal gland of nosema-free nurse bees for escorting queen honey bees (Apis mellifera) during export [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In 2006, Japan was one of the markets that contributed to the 4 million dollars live bee sales in Australia. In 2007, the export of queen honey bee from Australia was suspended when Nosema apis was detected in the nurse bees that were escorting the ...

The Honey Bee [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 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:

The limitations of the methods of identifying the floral source of honeys [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The pollen grains in honey reveal the types of plants that were around when the bees produced the honey, thus it is valid to use melissopalynology to determine the geographical origin of honeys, but there are several reasons why it is less valid for ...

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences
The study evaluates the winter hardiness, spring development, and honey production of Central Russian honey bees (Apis mellifera mellifera) and Carpathian honey bees (Apis mellifera carpatica) in the Chelyabinsk region.

Are honey bees' foraging preferences affected by pollen amino acid composition

open access: yes, 2003
1. Although pollen is a vital nutritional resource for honey bees, Apis mellifera, the influence of pollen quality on their foraging behaviour is little understood. 2.
