Modeling Honey Bee Populations
Eusocial honey bee populations (Apis mellifera) employ an age stratification organization of egg, larvae, pupae, hive bees and foraging bees. Understanding the recent decline in honey bee colonies hinges on understanding the factors that impact each of these different age castes. We first perform an analysis of steady state bee populations given mortality rates within each bee caste and find th...
متن کاملMultiple virus infections in the honey bee and genome divergence of honey bee viruses.
Using uniplex RT-PCR we screened honey bee colonies for the presence of several bee viruses, including black queen cell virus (BQCV), deformed wing virus (DWV), Kashmir bee virus (KBV), and sacbrood virus (SBV), and described the detection of mixed virus infections in bees from these colonies. We report for the first time that individual bees can harbor four viruses simultaneously. We also deve...
متن کاملHoney bee toxicology.
Insecticides are chemicals used to kill insects, so it is unsurprising that many insecticides have the potential to harm honey bees (Apis mellifera). However, bees are exposed to a great variety of other potentially toxic chemicals, including flavonoids and alkaloids that are produced by plants; mycotoxins produced by fungi; antimicrobials and acaricides that are introduced by beekeepers; and f...
متن کاملGeneral Stress Responses in the Honey Bee
The biological concept of stress originated in mammals, where a "General Adaptation Syndrome" describes a set of common integrated physiological responses to diverse noxious agents. Physiological mechanisms of stress in mammals have been extensively investigated through diverse behavioral and physiological studies. One of the main elements of the stress response pathway is the endocrine hypotha...
متن کاملReproductive conflict in the honey bee
Dufour’s gland secretion may allow workerhoneybees to discriminate between queen-laid and work-er-laid eggs. To investigate this, we combined thechemical analysis of individually treated eggs with anegg removal bioassay. We partitioned queen Dufour’sgland into hydrocarbon and ester fractions. The bioassayshowed that worker-laid eggs treated with either wholegland ext...
