MetabolomicsA Combined Proteomic and Metabolomic Strategy for Allergens Characterization in Natural and Fermented Brassica napus Bee Pollen

Bee pollen is consumed for its nutritional and pharmacological benefits, but it also contains hazardous allergens which has not been identified. Here, we identified 2 potential allergens, glutaredoxin and oleosin-B2, in Brassica napus (B. napus) bee pollen using mass spectrometr...

MetabolomicsGut microbiota-driven regulation of queen bee ovarian metabolism

With the global prevalence of Varroa mites, more and more beekeepers resort to confining the queen bee in a queen cage to control mite infestation or to breed superior and robust queen bees. However, the impact of such practices on the queen bee remains largely unknown. Therefore, we sub...

MetabolomicsBrain metabolomic profiling of eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) infested with the mite Varroa destructor
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 ...

MetabolomicsDevelopmental exposure to amitraz impairs metabolic homeostasis in honey bee (Apis mellifera) queens

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...

MetabolomicsConserved cellular signals and mechanisms accompany the reproductive shutdown of honey bee (Apis mellifera) queens for dispersal
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 ...

MetabolomicsStudy on the Effect of Bee Venom and Its Main Component melittin In Delaying Skin Aging in Mice
Bee venom (BV) and its main compound melittin (MLT) have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging activities; however, very little research has been conducted on their effects on skin aging. In this study, a mouse skin aging model induced by D-galactose (D-gal) was constructed via subcutaneous...

TranscriptomicsCellular heterogeneity of the developing worker honey bee (Apis mellifera) pupa: a single cell transcriptomics analysis
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...

TranscriptomicsSocial Regulation of Maternal Traits in Nest-Founding Bumble Bee (Bombus terrestris) Queens
During the nest-founding phase of the bumble bee colony cycle, queens undergo striking changes in maternal care behavior. Early in the founding phase, prior to the emergence of workers in the nest, queens are reproductive and also provision and feed their offspring. However, later in the founding ph...

TranscriptomicsRecipe for a busy bee: MicroRNAs in honey bee caste determination
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...

TranscriptomicsRNA-sequencing elucidates the regulation of behavioural transitions associated with mating in honey bee queens
Mating is a complex process, which is frequently associated with behavioural and physiological changes. However, understanding of the genetic underpinnings of these changes is limited. Honey bees are both a model system in behavioural genomics, and the dominant managed pollinator of human crops; con...
