Beeswax-Based Tools for Queen Rearing Without Grafting Larvae for Apis mellifera

Agriculture
Queen bees form the core of honeybee colonies for reproduction, and their quality is the most critical factor affecting their reproductive and productive performance.

Absence of Nepotism in Waggle Communication of Honeybees (Apis mellifera)

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2020
The polyandrous mating behavior of the honeybee queen increases the genetic variability among her worker offspring and the workers of particular subfamilies tend to have a genetic predisposition for tasks preference.

Defining the pollinator garden: is conceptual flexibility a feature or a bug?

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Ecologists often aim to reduce conceptual ambiguity by attempting to create rigid shared lexicons. These efforts imply that ambiguity is undesirable. In some contexts, however, conceptual flexibility comes with under‐discussed benefits. Here, we use the lens of pollinator gardening to explore how conceptual flexibility is built into participatory ...

The Behaviour of Robber Honeybees [PDF]

Behaviour, 1955
1. The factors which cause the characteristic swaying flight of robber honeybees have been investigated. 2. This flight occurs as an innate response to the presence of a congestion of bees, of their own or another colony, at the entrance to the hive they are robbing. 3.

Self-control in honeybees [PDF]

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2002
Self-control means choosing a large delayed reward over a small immediate reward; impulsiveness is its opposite. The metabolic hypothesis states that the amount of self-control across species correlates negatively with metabolic rate (Tobin & Logue, 1994).

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Acetamiprid Exposure Disrupts Gut Microbiota in Adult and Larval Worker Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.)

Insects
Acetamiprid is a third-generation neonicotinoid insecticide that is now widely employed for the protection of crops grown in outdoor environments. This is because it is considerably less toxic to pollinating insects than other neonicotinoids.

Phylogenetic analysis of the honeybee Sacbrood virus

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2016
Sacbrood virus (SBV) is one of the most common and harmful viruses to honeybees. It causes failure to pupate and death during larval stage, in adult bees it has an influence on their behavior and even shortens their life-span.
