In our research, the adaptation of imported carniolan ( Apis mellifera carnica Pollm ) and Carpathian carpatica honey bees to natural climatic conditions Uzbekistan, main indicators queen in experimental groups, results two-year assessment economic benefits were studied for first time Uzbekistan.

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are an important social pollinator, crucial in maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity. The haploid-diploid sex determination system determines their sexes where males haploids formed from unfertilized eggs while females diploids fertilized eggs. To better understand the gonad differentiation mechanism honey bees, here transcriptome difference between bee ova...

Litchi chinensis is the “queen of fruits”, and pollination an essential requirement for fruit set production. The present study was conducted in litchi orchards to diversity/abundance insect visitors, impact on quantitative parameters, different modes pollination. results showed that 75 species during flowering were reported including Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera. In natural po...

Conditioned inhibition or CI training (A+/AB-) was compared with S- training (A+/B-) in three experiments on proboscis-extension conditioning in harnessed honeybees. The purpose was to test the Rescorla-Wagner assumption, widely credited in the vertebrate literature, that a nonreinforced stimulus acquires inhibitory properties in proportion to the excitatory value of the context in which it is ...

We studied whether honeybees can distinguish face-like configurations by using standardized stimuli commonly employed in primate and human visual research. Furthermore, we studied whether, irrespective of their capacity to distinguish between face-like stimuli, bees learn to classify visual stimuli built up of the same elements in face-like versus non-face-like categories. We showed that bees s...

Antibiotics, particularly oxytetracycline, have been discussed as a possible predisposing condition in the appearance of chalkbrood in the honeybee (Apis mellifera L.). Nevertheless, the scientific data to support this belief have been insufficient. We have developed a method to study the effects of this antibiotic as a predisposing factor under different circumstances. We conclude that oxytetr...

Enterococcus avium isolated from Apis mellifera beebread produces a thermoresistant bacteriocin with a strain-dependent inhibitory effect on Listeria and without effect on gram-negative bacteria. The bacteriocin appeared to be a polypeptide of about 6 kDa. Genetic analyses revealed no extrachromosomal material in E. avium.

We suggest that group effect need not be invoked to explain the differences in latency times exhibited by groups of different sizes in the initiation of building in the termite Macrotermes subhyalinus (Rambur), and in the initiation of aggressive behavior in various subspecies of the honey bee Apis mellifera. A simple model is presented, that is fully consistent with experimental data.
