RNAi and Antiviral Defense in the Honey Bee.
Honey bees play an important agricultural and ecological role as pollinators of numerous agricultural crops and other plant species. Therefore, investigating the factors associated with high annual losses of honey bee colonies in the US is an important and active area of research. Pathogen incidence and abundance correlate with Colony Collapse Disorder- (CCD-) affected colonies in the US and co...
متن کاملImmune pathways and defence mechanisms in honey bees Apis mellifera
Social insects are able to mount both group-level and individual defences against pathogens. Here we focus on individual defences, by presenting a genome-wide analysis of immunity in a social insect, the honey bee Apis mellifera. We present honey bee models for each of four signalling pathways associated with immunity, identifying plausible orthologues for nearly all predicted pathway members. ...
متن کاملSocial Foraging by Honey Bees: Mechanisms, Dynamics, and Adaptation
There are two main components of social foraging by honey bees. First, there is a continuous adjustment of the number of bees dedicated to exploitation of forage sites and wide-area exploration for new forage options. Second, there is a persistent reallocation of the proportions of the foraging workforce dedicated to exploiting each site in order to match unpredictably changing relative forage ...
متن کاملTaste Perception in Honey Bees
Taste is crucial for honeybees for choosing profitable food sources, resins, water sources, and for nestmate recognition. Peripheral taste detection occurs within cuticular hairs, the chaetic and basiconic sensilla, which host gustatory receptor cells and, usually a mechanoreceptor cell. Gustatory sensilla are mostly located on the distal segment of the antennae, on the mouthparts, and on the t...
متن کاملEuropean foulbrood in honey bees.
European foulbrood (EFB) is a severe bacterial brood disease caused by the Gram-positive bacterium Melissocccus plutonius. The disease has a worldwide distribution and is an increasing problem in some areas. Although the causative agent of EFB was described almost a century ago, many basic aspects of its pathogenesis are still unknown. This review presents both historical results and recent mol...
