Establishment and Validation of a CUMS Model for Depression-like Behavior in Honeybees: A Tool for Pollinator Stress Research [PDF]
InsectsHoneybees (Apis mellifera), as key pollinating insects, are undergoing population decline, which has become a critical environmental challenge affecting ecosystem stability and sustainable agriculture. Moreover, a potential association exists between the

Effect of Baicalin on the Proliferation of Nosema ceranae in Apis cerana [PDF]
InsectsNosema ceranae is a common and highly contagious fungal pathogen that primarily infects the gut of adult honeybees, causing nosemosis. As a chronic disease of the digestive system, it poses a global threat to honeybee health and colony sustainability ...

Reconsidering the Selection Strategy in a Flemish Honey Bee Breeding Program: Towards Selection by Exclusion [PDF]
InsectsSelective breeding is widely used to improve honey bee health and colony performance, commonly applying selection based on colony traits. Since 2017, a mass selection program in Flanders, Belgium, has ranked queens according to resilience, productivity ...

High-Quality Queens Produce High-Quality Offspring Queens
Insects, 2022 Honey bees, rather than rear queens with eggs and larvae from worker cells, prefer to rear new queens with eggs form queen cells, if available. This may be a result of long-term evolutionary process for honey bee colonies. However, the exact mechanism of

Caste-biased Expression of fem and Amdsx Genes in Apis mellifera ligustica (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Sociobiology, 2021 Sex determination and caste differentiation are two crucial processes for morphology building in honeybees. It is unclear whether there is an interaction between these two processes.

Female developmental environment delays development of male honeybee (Apis mellifera)
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Nutrition and cell size play an important role in the determination of caste differentiation in queen and worker of honeybees (Apis mellifera), whereas the haploid genome dominates the differentiation of drones.

The Juvenile-Hormone-Responsive Factor AmKr-h1 Regulates Caste Differentiation in Honey Bees
Biomolecules, 2023 Honey bees are typical model organisms for the study of caste differentiation, and the juvenile hormone (JH) is a crucial link in the regulatory network of caste differentiation in honey bees.

A Comparison of RNA Interference via Injection and Feeding in Honey Bees
Insects, 2022 RNA interference (RNAi) has been used successfully to reduce target gene expression and induce specific phenotypes in several species. It has proved useful as a tool to investigate gene function and has the potential to manage pest populations and reduce
