Adequate nutrition supports the development of healthy honey bee colonies. We give an
overview of the nutritional demands of honey bee workers at three levels:(1) colony nutrition …

The parasitic mite Varroa destructor is the greatest single driver of the global honey bee
health decline. Better understanding of the association of this parasite and its host is critical …

Honey bee colonies are highly dependent upon the availability of floral resources from
which they get the nutrients (notably pollen) necessary to their development and survival …

Traditionally, measurement of the acute toxicity of pesticides to beneficial arthropods has
relied largely on the determination of an acute median lethal dose or concentration …

Nosema ceranae is a hot topic in honey bee health as reflected by numerous papers
published every year. This review presents an update of the knowledge generated in the last …

Although eusociality evolved independently within several orders of insects, research into
the molecular underpinnings of the transition towards social complexity has been confined …

Across the Northern hemisphere, managed honey bee colonies, Apis mellifera, are currently
affected by abrupt depopulation during winter and many factors are suspected to be …

Elevated winter losses of managed honeybee colonies are a major concern, but the
underlying mechanisms remain controversial. Among the suspects are the parasitic mite …

Research on aging shows that regulatory pathways of fertility and senescence are closely
interlinked. However, evolutionary theories on social species propose that lifelong care for …
