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...

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 ...

MetabolomicsCuticular hydrocarbon profiles of Formica sanguinea and and their Formica fusca slaves over the colony development

One of the main challenges of the socially parasitic mode of life is bypassing the host's recognition ability, which ensures that altruistic behaviour is directed towards related individuals. Various chemical strategies have evolved to achieve this goal. The most widespread, used also by the obli...

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...

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...

TranscriptomicsSmall RNA expression and caste differentiation in the honeybee
Honeybees are very important eusocial insects and are involved in the pollination of many plants. Queen bees and worker bees develop from the same fertilized eggs, and are thus genetically identical despite their substantial behavioural and physiological differences. The mechanism governing developm...

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...
