The Africanization of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) in the Americas is among the most
extensive insect invasions in the world, with large-scale effects on the economy and ecology …

Nosema ceranae is an emerging pathogen of the western honey bee (Apis mellifera L.), and
thus its seasonality and impact on bee colonies is not sufficiently documented for North …

Predictions that precocious foraging in honeybee workers is a result of shortening of their life
expectancy were tested in both laboratory and field experiments. In the laboratory …

The high loss rates of honey bee colonies drive research for solutions aimed to mitigate
these losses. While honey bee colonies are superorganisms, experiments that measure the …

The influence of genotype on the conversion of pollen to bee bread and on the protein titers
of bees feeding on it was examined using European and Africanized honey bees (EHB and …

The ApisRAM model is an agent‐based colony model for honey bees in which each bee is
modelled as an individual agent. The behaviour of the colony emerges from the decisions …

In the Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, queens and workers have different longevity
although they share the same genome. Queens consume royal jelly (RJ) as the main food …

En este trabajo recapitulativo se describe el proceso de colonización y reemplazo de las
poblaciones de abejas melíferas europeas por africanizadas, así como las características …

The past decade of social insect research has seen rapid development in automated
behavioral tracking and molecular profiling of the nervous system, two distinct but …

Honey bee decline is currently one of the world's most serious environmental issues, and
