Endosymbiotic bacteria in honey bees: Arsenophonus spp. are not transmitted transovarially
Intracellular endosymbiotic bacteria are common and can play a crucial role for insect pathology. Therefore, such bacteria could be a potential key to our understanding of major losses of Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) colonies. However, the transmission and potential effects of endosymbiotic bacteria in A. mellifera and other Apis spp. are poorly understood. Here, we explore the prevalenc...
متن کاملVolatile organic compounds of Thai honeys produced from several floral sources by different honey bee species
The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of four monofloral and one multifloral of Thai honeys produced by Apis cerana, Apis dorsata and Apis mellifera were analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) followed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The floral sources were longan, sunflower, coffee, wild flowers (wild) and lychee. Honey originating from longan had more...
متن کاملMigrating Giant Honey Bees (Apis dorsata) Congregate Annually at Stopover Site in Thailand
Giant honey bees (Apis dorsata) of southern Asia are vital honey producers and pollinators of cultivated crops and wild plants. They are known to migrate seasonally up to 200 km. It has been assumed their migrations occur stepwise, with stops for rest and foraging, but bivouacking bees have rarely been seen by scientists. Here I report discovery of a site in northern Thailand where bivouacs app...
متن کاملProperties and Antimicrobial Activity of Apis Dorsata Honey from Thailand
Objectives: For Apis dorsata honey, the basic properties, namely the pH, and the total proline, protein and invert sugar contents, were determined. For proteins, the mass weight and partial amino acid sequence of the three major proteins were assayed and homologs screened for. A bioassay for antimicrobial activity was also performed. Methodology: Proline content and the percentage of invert sug...
متن کاملThe effects of Bt Cry1Ie toxin on bacterial diversity in the midgut of Apis mellifera ligustica (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
The honey bee has been regarded as a key species in the environmental risk assessment of biotech crops. Here, the potential adverse effects of Cry1Ie toxin on the midgut bacteria of the worker bees (Apis mellifera ligustica) were investigated under laboratory conditions. Newly emerged bees were fed with different concentrations of Cry1Ie toxin syrups (20 ng/mL, 200 ng/mL, and 20 μg/mL), pure su...
