Journal of Biosciences, 2000 The therapeutic benefits of fever have been recorded since the time of Hippocrates. At the turn of the 20th century, syphilis was a dreaded disease whose neuro-degenerative effects were terrible and many mental institutions were occupied with patients suffering from it; there was no effective treatment available then.

Variation in honey bee gut microbial diversity affected by ontogenetic stage, age and geographic location [PDF]
, 2015 Social honey bees, Apis mellifera, host a set of distinct microbiota, which is similar across the continents and various honey bee species. Some of these bacteria, such as lactobacilli, have been linked to immunity and defence against pathogens. Pathogen

Communications BiologyApis mellifera and Apis cerana are two important honey bee species widely kept and studied. But their queens differ greatly in egg-laying capacity. To determine the mechanisms of this difference, we compare gene expression, chromatin accessibility and ...

Impact of nutritional stress on the honeybee colony health
Scientific Reports, 2019 Honeybees Apis mellifera are important pollinators of wild plants and commercial crops. For more than a decade, high percentages of honeybee colony losses have been reported worldwide.

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Killing and replacing queen-laid eggs: low cost of worker policing in the honey bee [PDF]
, 2014 Worker honeybees, Apis mellifera, police each other’s reproduction by killing worker-laid eggs. Previous experiments demonstrated that worker policing is effective, killing most (∼98%) worker-laid eggs. However, many queen-laid eggs were also killed (∼50%

The Honey Bee Colony’s Criterion for Candidate Selection: “Ongoing” or “One-Shot”?
AnimalsIn the honey bee, the queen’s death severely threatens the survival of the colony. In an emergency, new queens are reared from young worker larvae, where nepotism is thought to influence the choice of queen candidates by the workers.
