Rapid hormonal rise in honey bees due to heat‐shock is mitigated by a primer pheromone

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
We show that honey bee foragers increased juvenile hormone (JH) titers significantly after heat‐shocked for 1 h at 40 °C, but this increase is dependent on social conditions. Increase of JH titers only happened when bees were isolated (one worker bee per vial) but not in groups.

Negative evidence for effects of genetic origin of bees on Nosema ceranae, positive evidence for effects of Nosema ceranae on bees [PDF]

open access: yesApidologie, 2013
In two tests, honey bee colonies of different origins were sampled monthly to detect possible differential infection with Nosema ceranae; colony sizes and queen status were monitored quarterly. One experiment used queens crossed with drones of the same type obtained from colonies which had previously exhibited high and low infections.

Effects of Nosema apis, N. ceranae, and coinfections on honey bee (Apis mellifera) learning and memory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) face an increasing number of challenges that in recent years have led to significant economic effects on apiculture, with attendant consequences for agriculture.

RNA Interference-Mediated Knockdown of Genes Encoding Spore Wall Proteins Confers Protection against Nosema ceranae Infection in the European Honey Bee, Apis mellifera

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Nosema ceranae (Opisthosporidia: Microsporidia) is an emergent intracellular parasite of the European honey bee (Apis mellifera) and causes serious Nosema disease which has been associated with worldwide honey bee colony losses.

Bioresponsive pseudoGlucosinolates (psGSLs) Release Isothiocyanates (ITCs) in the Presence of Nitroreductases

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 25, 2 July 2026.
This work introduces the concept of pseudoglucosinolates (psGSLs) and reports the synthesis and evaluation of nitroreductase‐responsive psGSLs. These compounds represent a complementary prodrug strategy to natural glucosinolates (GSLs) for the controlled release of isothiocyanates (ITCs), enabling bio‐responsive protein labeling, as demonstrated in ...

Effect of feeds in developing the hypopharyngeal gland of nosema-free nurse bees for escorting queen honey bees (Apis mellifera) during export [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In 2006, Japan was one of the markets that contributed to the 4 million dollars live bee sales in Australia. In 2007, the export of queen honey bee from Australia was suspended when Nosema apis was detected in the nurse bees that were escorting the ...

Wake Up and Smell the Infected Bees: Volatile Cues of Vairimorpha Infection in Honey Bees

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Infection can modify host volatile emissions, yet effects in adult honey bees remain unexplored. Using dynamic headspace sampling and GC × GC–MS, we show that Vairimorpha spp. infection significantly alters the volatile profile of adult worker honey bees over a 14‐day time series, producing stage‐specific shifts in multivariate odour structure.

Efficient Method for the Rapid Purification of Nosema ceranae Spores [PDF]

open access: yesMycobiology, 2017
Nosema ceranae is an obligate intracellular fungal parasite that causes mortality in honey bees and enhances the susceptibility of honey bees to other pathogens. Efficient purification of Nosema spores from the midgut of infected honey bees is very important because Nosema is non-culturable and only seasonably available.

Unraveling Long‐Term Microsporidia Diversity and Dynamics in Lake Aydat (France) Through Paleogenomics

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Sedimentary ancient DNA study revealed 138 years of hidden microsporidian (unicellular eukaryotic parasite) diversity and host–parasite dynamics in a freshwater lake. A major community shift in the 2000s, linked to anthropogenic pressures, shows how paleogenomics reveals the diversity and long‐term ecological trajectories of these previously overlooked
