Drone and Worker Brood Microclimates Are Regulated Differentially in Honey Bees, Apis mellifera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 BACKGROUND:Honey bee (Apis mellifera) drones and workers show differences in morphology, physiology, and behavior. Because the functions of drones are more related to colony reproduction, and those of workers relate to both survival and reproduction, we ...

Changes in the Gene Expression Profiles of the Hypopharyngeal Gland of Worker Honeybees in Association with Worker Behavior and Hormonal Factors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The hypopharyngeal glands (HPGs) of worker honeybees undergo physiological changes along with the age-dependent role change from nursing to foraging: nurse bee HPGs secrete mainly major royal jelly proteins, whereas forager HPGs secrete mainly α ...

The Pathogen Profile of a Honey Bee Queen Does Not Reflect That of Her Workers
Insects, 2020 Throughout a honey bee queen’s lifetime, she is tended to by her worker daughters, who feed and groom her. Such interactions provide possible horizontal transmission routes for pathogens from the workers to the queen, and as such a queen’s pathogen ...

Mathematical Model and Dynamics Analysis of the Stingless Bee (Trigona sp.) in A Colony
Communication in Biomathematical Sciences, 2023 Trigona sp. is a stingless bee species that is widely distributed in tropical countries. It has castes in the colony, i.e. queen, worker, and male bee. Despite its size, Trigona sp.

Getting more than a fair share: nutrition of worker larvae related to social parasitism in the Cape honey bee Apis mellifera capensis [PDF]
, 2002 Besides activation of ovaries and thelytokous reproduction of Cape workers, larval nutrition is an important aspect in parasitism of the African honey bee.

Egg viability and worker policing in honey bees [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 In many species of social Hymenoptera, unmated workers can lay eggs that will produce males by parthenogenesis. Nevertheless, in queenright honey bee colonies ( Apis mellifera ), worker reproduction is low. One possible mechanism for this difference is worker policing, the removal of worker-laid eggs by other ...

Working-class royalty: bees beat the caste system [PDF]
, 2005 The struggle among social classes or castes is well known in humans. Here, we show that caste inequality similarly affects societies of ants, bees and wasps, where castes are morphologically distinct and workers have greatly reduced reproductive ...
