Across diverse animal species, early-life experiences have lifelong impacts on a variety of
traits. The scope of these impacts, their implications, and the mechanisms that drive these …

Flupyradifurone (FPF), a novel butenolide insecticide binding to nicotinic acetylcholine
receptors (nAChRs), has been shown to be less acutely toxic to western honey bees (Apis …

Conflict between genes inherited from the mother (matrigenes) and the father (patrigenes) is
predicted to arise during social interactions among offspring if these genes are not evenly …

Highlights•Some honey bee nurses altered offspring care when the hive was
threatened.•Nurses from highly aggressive hives decreased larval care following alarm …

Aggression is a context-dependent behavior that often represents an adaptive trade-off with
other energetically demanding phenotypes. Diseases can impose strong selection …

Background Varroa destructor mites, and the numerous viruses they vector to their honey
bee hosts, are among the most serious threats to honey bee populations, causing mortality …

The honey bee, Apis mellifera differs from all other social bees in its gonad phenotype and
mating strategy. Honey bee queens and drones have tremendously enlarged gonads, and …

We examine the population genetic structure and divergence among the regional
populations of the Japanese honeybee, Apis cerana japonica, by re‐sequencing the …

In social animals, disease management behaviors such as grooming occur in response to
diverse stimuli, making it difficult to interpret the evolution and function of these phenotypes …

Honey bee (Apis mellifera sp.) colonies and individuals respond variably to disturbances. In
this study, we examined the role of neural modulation and metabolism in constitutive and …
