Honey bee queen health is unaffected by contact exposure to pesticides commonly found in beeswax
Scientific Reports, 2021 Honey bee queen health is crucial for colony health and productivity, and pesticides have been previously associated with queen loss and premature supersedure.

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017 BackgroundIn cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), quadripolar (QUAD) left ventricular (LV) leads are less prone to postoperative complications than non‐QUAD leads. Some studies have suggested better clinical outcomes.

Effect of amino acids on quality evaluation of alfalfa hay
Siliao yanjiu, 2022 The experiment was to explore effect of amino acids on quality evaluation of alfalfa hay. The yield (CL), nutritional quality and 17 amino acids contents of alfalfa of different varieties (Queen, WL319HQ and Bara310SC) were measured and comprehensively ...

Direct assessment of queen quality and lack of worker suppression in a paper wasp [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005 Assessing a conspecific's potential is often crucial to increase one's fitness, e.g. in female choice, contests with rivals or reproductive conflicts in animal societies. In the latter, helpers benefit from accurately assessing the fertility of the breeder as an indication of inclusive fitness.

Factors Affecting Queen Bee Quality
Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2020 The basic rule in honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) rearing is to work with qualified queens. Quality queen means strong and healthy colonies. Honey bee colonies are a social community, each managed by a single queen bee. The queen bee is the only female that produces eggs in the colony under normal conditions, and the quality and healthy queen is important

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Sociobiology, 2021 Queen-worker caste dimorphism is a typical trait for honeybees (Apis mellifera). We previously showed a maternal effect on caste differentiation and queen development, where queens emerged from queen-cell eggs (QE) had higher quality than queens ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

AgricultureThe mass rearing of high-quality queen bees is an essential beekeeping practice for producing new queens to maintain colony productivity. A strain of high royal-jelly-producing bees (RJBs; Apis mellifera ligustica) in China exhibits high potential for ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.
