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 ...

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.

Innovative Airborne DNA Approach for Monitoring Honey Bee Foraging and Health

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
Using a novel modification of our simple hand airborne eDNA samplers this pilot study demonstrates that eDNA filtered from the air of a honey been colony has the strong potential for rapid screening of honey bee health and for the study of bee foraging behavior. ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to genetic material collected from the environment

First detection of Nosema ceranae in New Zealand honey bees

, 2015
Nosema is a genus of 81 microsporidian parasites, two of which affect honey bees. The advent of molecular methods has facilitated the differentiation between Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae. N.

Identification of candidate agents active against N. ceranae infection in honey bees: establishment of a medium throughput screening assay based on N. ceranae infected cultured cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Many flowering plants in both natural ecosytems and agriculture are dependent on insect pollination for fruit set and seed production. Managed honey bees (Apis mellifera) and wild bees are key pollinators providing this indispensable eco- and agrosystem ...

Microbial Evolution in Allodapine Bees: Perspectives From Trophallactic, Socially Plastic Pollinators

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT This review seeks a deeper functional understanding of wild bee microbiomes by focusing on a tribe of bees where natural history and behavioral ecology are well known but investigations of microbiology are just beginning. Opportunities to improve our future knowledge of pathogens to insect pollinators are explored—which have broad ...

Synthesis and Evaluation of Pseudoglucosinolates Releasing Isothiocyanates in the Presence of Azoreductases

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 12, June 16, 2025.
An expansion of the concept of pseudoglucosinolates (psGSLs) is reported introducing the first azoreductase‐responsive psGSL‐based probe releasing an isothiocyanate under simultaneous fluorescence turn‐on in the presence of AzoR, an azoreductase from Escherichia coli.

Trends in Pollination Scientists' Research: A Comprehensive Analysis in Citations and Research Topics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Pollination ecology has garnered increasing attention due to its fundamental role in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services. However, a lack of understanding regarding evolving trends and research shifts poses challenges for addressing emerging ecological questions. Our analysis encompasses the contributions of 223 prominent scientists in the

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Selected Treatments of Nosema Spp. Infection by the Hemocytometric Method and Duplex Pcr

Acta Veterinaria, 2016
Recent years have witnessed an increase in the mortality of honey bees in many regions of the world. The observed decrease in the bee population results from a combination of factors, and microsporidian parasites Nosema apis and N.

Insect immunity in the Anthropocene

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 698-723, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities result in global change, including climate change, landscape degradation and pollution, that can alter insect physiology and immune defences. These changes may have contributed to global insect decline and the dynamics of insect‐transmitted diseases.
