Effects of Pesticide Treatments on Nutrient Levels in Worker Honey Bees (Apis mellifera).
Honey bee colony loss continues to be an issue and no factor has been singled out as to the cause. In this study, we sought to determine whether two beekeeper-applied pesticide products, tau-fluvalinate and Fumagilin-B(®), and one agrochemical, chlorothalonil, impact the nutrient levels in honey bee workers in a natural colony environment. Treatments were performed in-hive and at three differen...
متن کاملThe foraging behaviour of honey bees, Apis mellifera: a review
Foraging behaviour is one of the distinctive behaviours of honey bees, Apis mellifera. This behaviour is the link between the honey bee colony and the ambient environment. Therefore, various in-colony and out-colony factors have an impact on this behaviour, and many studies have been employed to investigate these factors. Foraging behaviour is not advantageous only for the colony and for plant ...
متن کاملRegulation of life history determines lifespan of worker honey bees (Apis mellifera L.).
Life expectancy of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) is of general interest to gerontological research because its variability among different groups of bees is one of the most striking cases of natural plasticity of aging. Worker honey bees spend their first days of adult life working in the nest, then transition to foraging and die between 4 and 8 weeks of age. Foraging is believed to be primari...
متن کاملLongevity extension of worker honey bees (Apis mellifera) by royal jelly: optimal dose and active ingredient
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 throughout their life, including as adults, but workers only eat worker jelly when they are larvae less than 3 days old. In order to explore the effect of RJ and the components affecting longevity of worker honey bees, we fir...
متن کاملJuvenile hormone profiles of worker honey bees, Apis mellifera, during normal and accelerated behavioural development.
Juvenile hormone III (JH) haemolymph titres were quantified in adult worker honey bees under colony conditions conducive to either typical or accelerated behavioural development. JH titres of bees under conditions of accelerated behavioural development were significantly higher than same-aged bees under more typical conditions, even before the onset of foraging. These results are consistent wit...
