Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony health and pathogen composition in migratory beekeeping operations involved in California almond pollination
Honey bees are important pollinators of agricultural crops. Pathogens and other factors have been implicated in high annual losses of honey bee colonies in North America and some European countries. To further investigate the relationship between multiple factors, including pathogen prevalence and abundance and colony health, we monitored commercially managed migratory honey bee colonies involv...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Distribution and Impacts of Parasites, Pathogens, and Pesticides on Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Populations in East Africa
In East Africa, honey bees (Apis mellifera) provide critical pollination services and income for small-holder farmers and rural families. While honey bee populations in North America and Europe are in decline, little is known about the status of honey bee populations in Africa. We initiated a nationwide survey encompassing 24 locations across Kenya in 2010 to evaluate the numbers and sizes of h...
متن کاملDopamine modulation of honey bee (Apis mellifera) antennal-lobe neurons.
Primary olfactory centers [antennal lobes (ALs)] of the honey bee brain are invaded by dopamine (DA)-immunoreactive neurons early in development (pupal stage 3), immediately before a period of rapid growth and compartmentalization of the AL neuropil. Here we examine the modulatory actions of DA on honey bee AL neurons during this period. Voltage-clamp recordings in whole cell configuration were...
متن کاملEffects of Nosema apis, N. ceranae, and coinfections on honey bee (Apis mellifera) learning and memory
Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) face an increasing number of challenges that in recent years have led to significant economic effects on apiculture, with attendant consequences for agriculture. Nosemosis is a fungal infection of honey bees caused by either Nosema apis or N. ceranae. The putative greater virulence of N. ceranae has spurred interest in understanding how it differs from N. api...
متن کاملP 412 Molecular characterisation of honey-bee (Apis mellifera) opsins
@r~ose. The compound eye of the honey-bee, Apis mellifera (L.), possesses retinular cells maximally sensitive to UV, blue and green wavelengths. Behavioumlly, the honey-bee exhibits trichromatic colour vision when searching for food sources and hive location. We therefore set out to sequence the opsins present in the compound eye of the honey-bee and to relate the amino acid sequences to the ph...
