In a rapidly changing environment, honeybee colonies are increasingly exposed to diverse
sources of stress (eg, new parasites, pesticides, climate warming), which represent a …

Most organisms are constantly faced with environmental changes and stressors. In diverse
organisms, there is an anticipatory mechanism during development that can program adult …

The biological concept of stress originated in mammals, where a “General Adaptation
Syndrome” describes a set of common integrated physiological responses to diverse …

Foraging in honeybees is energetically demanding. Here, we examined whether stressors,
which generally increase metabolic demands, can impair foraging performance. A controlled …

Environmental changes during development have long-term effects on adult phenotypes in
diverse organisms. Some of the effects play important roles in helping organisms adapt to …

The honeybee is an important species for the agri-food and pharmaceutical industries
through bee products and crop pollination services. However, honeybee health is a major …

While foraging, attacking, or leaving or returning to their hives, both the African and
European honeybees maintained their thoracic temperature at 30° C or above, independent …

Though social insects generally seem to have a reduced individual immunoresponse
compared to solitary species, the impact of heat stress on that response has not been …

In this study, we present phenotypic and genetic data characterizing the impact of
imidacloprid and caging stress on honey bee Apis mellifera physiological responses and …

Diphenism in social bees is essentially contingent on nutrient-induced cellular and systemic
physiological responses resulting in divergent gene expression patterns. Analyses of …
