Molecular Surveillance of Honey Bee Hives Using eDNA Metabarcoding During Pollination Season

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Healthy honey bees are critical in safeguarding our food supply, but monitoring their health may present a significant challenge. Here, we used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding on bee hive debris and detected species of arthropods, bacteria and fungi contributing to form the bee hive environment, including hive pests and pathogens as well as hive

A strong immune response in young adult honeybees masks their increased susceptibility to infection compared to older bees [PDF]

, 2012
Honeybees, Apis mellifera, show age-related division of labor in which young adults perform maintenance ("housekeeping") tasks inside the colony before switching to outside foraging at approximately 23 days old. Disease resistance is an important feature

How Population Structure and Nest Membership Shape Pathogen Patterns in Bumble Bees

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Host density, genetic diversity and social groups are key factors influencing pathogen transmission in wildlife populations, but their interactions remain poorly understood in insects. Islands can provide natural laboratories with distinct populations that vary in density and genetic diversity, whereby dense, genetically homogeneous ...

Honey bee genotypes and the environment [PDF]

, 2014
Although knowledge about honey bee geographic and genetic diversity has increased tremendously in recent decades (Meixner et al., 2013), the adaptation of honey bees to their local environment has not been well studied.

CRISPR‐driven diagnostics: Molecular mechanisms, clinical efficacy and translational challenges

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
The CRISPR/Cas system has emerged as a transformative tool in the field of molecular diagnosis, offering unprecedented sensitivity, specificity and rapid detection capabilities. This review further examines the molecular mechanisms of CRISPR tools, compares their clinical efficacy with traditional methods and highlights cutting‐edge innovations such as

Transfer of Sulfamethazine from Contaminated Beeswax to Honey [PDF]

, 2010
A liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric method for the determination of sulfa drugs in beeswax was developed. When performing residue control on beeswax intended for the fabrication of wax foundations, residues of sulfonamides were found.

The State of Beekeeping in India: Insights, Gaps, and Emerging Opportunities

Entomological Research, Volume 55, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT India's beekeeping industry primarily revolves around two domesticated honey bee species, Apis cerana and A. mellifera, which are central to commercial beekeeping. In addition, there are four wild honey bee species—A. dorsata, A. laboriosa (sympatric with A. dorsata), A. florea, and A. andreniformis (sympatric with A.

Are honey bees altering wild plant–bee interactions in reconstructed native habitats? An investigation of summer season effects in row‐crop agroecosystems with prairie strips

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 807-823, October 2025.
We investigated the compatibility of beekeeping with pollinator conservation in ‘prairie strips’ a conservation practice integrating native prairie habitat into agricultural environments. At prairie strip sites with and without a honey bee apiary, we analysed plant–bee interactions and bumble bee body conditions to determine the effect of apiaries on ...
