The Effects of Pesticides on Queen Rearing and Virus Titers in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.)
Insects, 2013 The effects of sublethal pesticide exposure on queen emergence and virus titers were examined. Queen rearing colonies were fed pollen with chlorpyrifos (CPF) alone (pollen-1) and with CPF and the fungicide Pristine® (pollen-2).

Honey bees consider larval nutritional status rather than genetic relatedness when selecting larvae for emergency queen rearing [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 In honey bees and many other social insects, production of queens is a vital task, as colony fitness is dependent on queens. The factors considered by honey bee workers in selecting larvae to rear new queens during emergency queen rearing are poorly ...

Evidence of queen-rearing suppression by mature queens in the little fire ant, Wasmannia auropunctata. [PDF]
Insectes Soc, 2023 The little fire ant (LFA), Wasmannia auropunctata, is a serious invasive pest first reported on Hawaii Island in 1999, and has since spread and established itself across the island. LFA is considered one of the worst 100 invasive species and has significant ecological, agricultural, and public health impacts in invaded areas, which include much of the ...

Effects of commercial queen rearing methods on queen fecundity and genome methylation [PDF]
Apidologie, 2020 The queen and worker castes of the honey bee are very distinct phenotypes that result from different epigenomically regulated developmental programs. In commercial queen rearing, it is common to produce queens by transplanting worker larvae to queen cells to be raised as queens.
