We examined the developmental ecotoxicity of the in-hive acaricide amitraz in honey bee (Apis mellifera) queens by exposing fourth-instar larvae to acute and residue-informed sub-LD50 doses and assessing responses from organismal to metabolic levels. The 72-h LD50 of amitraz was 4.428 μg/queen. U...

Temporal reproductive plasticity is a central life-history trait for most iteroparous animals, yet its underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. We utilize the reversible reproductive arrest experienced by honey bee queens during colony swarming to investigate how these reproductive ...

Expression profiling of honey bees brains as a function of genotype ( Apis mellifera mellifera/Apis mellifera ligustica) and age
ORGANISM(S): Apis mellifera 
Experiment was designed to study the effect of Deformed wing virus (DWV) and the mite Varroa destructor on global gene expression using microarray transcriptional profiling in developing worker honeybee (Apis mellifera). Newly hatched bee larvae (day 3 of bee development) were transferred from a Var...
ORGANISM(S): Apis mellifera 
The mite Varroa destructor is currently the greatest threat to apiculture as it is causing a global decrease in honey bee colonies. However, it rarely causes serious damage to its native hosts, the eastern honey bees Apis cerana. To better understand the mechanism of resistance of A. cerana against ...

This experiment examines gene expression profiles in the brains of adult honey bee workers (Apis mellifera) performing different behavioral tasks in the hive. The different behavioral groups examined were nurse, comb builder, guard, undertaker, and forager. The comb builder, guard, and undertaker be...
ORGANISM(S): Apis mellifera 
In this RNA-seq study, we compared the antennal transcriptomes of sexually mature drones (males) and time-trained foragers (females) of Apis mellifera collected at different times of day and different activity states. The goals of our project was to provide a more comprehensive description of gene e...
ORGANISM(S): Apis mellifera 
It is estimated that animals pollinate 87.5% of flowering plants worldwide and that managed honey bees (Apis mellifera) account for 30-50% of this ecosystem service to agriculture. In addition to their important role as pollinators, honey bees are well-established insect models for studying learning...
ORGANISM(S): Apis mellifera mellifera 
Experiment was designed to study the effect of Deformed wing virus (DWV) and the mite Varroa destructor on on siRNA and miRNA composition using high-throughput sequencing of small RNA in developing worker honeybee (Apis mellifera). Newly hatched bee larvae (day 3 of bee development) were transferre...
ORGANISM(S): Apis mellifera 
Social caste determination in the honey bee is assumed to be determined by the dietary status of the young larvae and translated into physiological and epigenetic changes through nutrient-sensing pathways. We have employed Illumina/Solexa sequencing to examine the small RNA content in the bee larval...
