Using honey in wound care [PDF]
, 2006 Honey is primarily a herbal product with some modifications that are made by the bees that process the nectar or sap collected from the plants to store as honey. The types of phytochemicals present in a honey depend on the plant source of the honey.

Towards integrated control of varroa: effect of variation in hygienic behaviour among honey bee colonies on mite population increase and deformed wing virus incidence [PDF]
, 2014 Hygienic behaviour in the honey bee, Apis mellifera, is the uncapping and removal of dead, diseased or infected brood from sealed cells by worker bees. We determined the effect of hygienic behaviour on varroa population growth and incidence of deformed ...

The bees algorithm: Modelling nature to solve complex optimisation problems [PDF]
, 2013 The Bees Algorithm models the foraging behaviour of honey bees in order to solve optimisation problems. The algorithm performs a kind of exploitative neighbourhood search combined with random explorative search.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Introduced plants may be important foraging resources for honey bees and wild pollinators, but how often and why pollinators visit introduced plants across an entire plant community is not well understood.

THE RELATION BETWEEN HONEY STORAGE AND POLLEN GRAINS AT HONEY BEES WORKERS (Apis Mellifera L) ACTIVITY ON WANDERING AND COLLECTION TO PROVIDE FOOD NECESSARY FOR THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COLONY [PDF]
Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2007 Effect of storing honey and pollen grains for bees workers on groups of honey bees (strong. medium. weak) show that the best area was for the strong groups and the least for the weak ones.

Gut microbiota composition is associated with environmental landscape in honey bees. [PDF]
, 2018 There is growing recognition that the gut microbial community regulates a wide variety of important functions in its animal hosts, including host health. However, the complex interactions between gut microbes and environment are still unclear. Honey bees

The effects of methyl parathion on the colony dynamics of Apis mellifera : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2000 The detrimental effects of pesticides to honey bee colonies were assessed using a combination of electronic and manual sampling techniques. Initial experiments determined that electronic bee counters could be used to identify and monitor toxic events ...

Insects, 2020 Honey bees are of great economic importance, not only for honey production but also for crop pollination. However, honey bee populations continue to decline mainly due to exposure to pesticides, pathogens and beekeeping practices.

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

The Potential Influence of Bumble Bee Visitation on Foraging Behaviors and Assemblages of Honey Bees on Squash Flowers in Highland Agricultural Ecosystems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Bee species interactions can benefit plant pollination through synergistic effects and complementary effects, or can be of detriment to plant pollination through competition effects by reducing visitation by effective pollinators.
