Varroa destructor Mites Can Nimbly Climb from Flowers onto Foraging Honey Bees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Varroa destructor, the introduced parasite of European honey bees associated with massive colony deaths, spreads readily through populations of honey bee colonies, both managed colonies living crowded together in apiaries and wild colonies living widely ...

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.This study develops a quantitative framework that integrates field data, epidemiological models, simulations, and Bayesian inference to identify key viral hosts in multispecies bee communities. By estimating species‐specific R0 values from flower‐visitor networks and viral screening, we show that honeybees, as well as other wild bees, can drive the ...

Scent Goes Digital: The Role of Insect Odorant Binding Proteins in Modern Technology
BioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 1, January/February 2026.This review delves into bioinspired olfactory biosensors, focusing on insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) as core elements of hybrid bionic platforms for volatile compound detection. Highlighting the development of the biological electronic nose (BE‐NOSE), it examines current prototypes, outlines advantages over conventional methods, and explores ...
