Deformed Wing Virus in Honeybees and Other Insects.
Annual Review of Virology, 2019 Deformed wing virus (DWV) has become the most well-known, widespread, and intensively studied insect pathogen in the world. Although DWV was previously present in honeybee populations, the arrival and global spread of a new vector, the ectoparasitic mite

Body Characteristic of Drones of Different Origin
Folia Veterinaria, 2023 Computer-based methods help beekeepers and scientists in apidology and bee research. Using software Optika Vision Pro in this study, three body morphological characteristics has been applied to honeybees’ drones (Apis mellifera carnica) of different ...

Assessing the role of dispersed floralresources for managed bees in providingsupporting ecosystem services for croppollination [PDF]
, 2018 Most pollination ecosystem services studies have focussed on wild pollinators and their dependence on natural floral resources adjacent to crop fields. However, managed pollinators depend on a mixture of floral resources that are spatially separated from

Getting more than a fair share: nutrition of worker larvae related to social parasitism in the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera capensis [PDF]
, 2002 Besides activation of ovaries and thelytokous reproduction of Cape workers, larval nutrition is an important aspect in parasitism of the African honey bee.

Honeybee memory: a honeybee knows what to do and when [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 SUMMARYHoneybees have the ability to flexibly change their preference for a visual pattern according to the context in which a discrimination task is carried out. This study investigated the effect of time of day, task, as well as both parameters simultaneously, as contextual cue(s) in modulating bees' preference for a visual pattern.

Pollen elicits proboscis extension but does not reinforce PER learning in honeybees [PDF]
, 2013 The function of pollen as a reward for foraging bees is little understood, though there is evidence to suggest that it can reinforce associations with visual and olfactory floral cues.

RNA virus spillover from managed honeybees (Apis mellifera) to wild bumblebees (Bombus spp.)
PLoS ONE, 2019 The decline of many bumblebee species (Bombus spp.) has been linked to an increased prevalence of pathogens caused by spillover from managed bees. Although poorly understood, RNA viruses are suspected of moving from managed honeybees (Apis mellifera ...

Declining genetic diversity of European honeybees along the twentieth century
Scientific Reports, 2020 The European honeybee (Apis mellifera) is a key pollinator and has in the last decades suffered significant population decline. A combination of factors, including decrease in genetic diversity and introduction of Varroa mites, have been suggested to be ...

The automatic pilot of honeybees [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 Using scanning harmonic radar, we make visible for the first time the complete trajectories of "goal-vector" flights in honeybees. We demonstrate that bees captured at an established feeding station, and released elsewhere, nevertheless embark on the previously learned vector flight that would have taken them directly home from the station, had they ...
