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 ...

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...

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...

MetabolomicsDetermination of metabolite differences between loquat nectar and honey by UPLC-MS/MS
Honey is a widely consumed natural agricultural product due to its unique flavour, taste and its nutritional content. Honey bees form honey by collecting nectar from different flowers and then metabolising it to form honey which is stored in the hive. Currently attention is always focussed on the ma...

MetabolomicsA defined community of core gut microbiota members promotes cognitive performance in honey bees

Gut microbiota across animals have been shown to influence host cognition and behavior. However, it remains unclear whether these cognitive effects are driven by specific bacterial species or arise from community-level interactions. Here, we leveraged the honey bee (Apis mellifera) as a ...

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...

TranscriptomicsNutrigenomics in honey bees: the impact of pollen nutrients on bee health
We studied the molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of pollen nutrients on honey bee (Apis mellifera) health and how those nutrients improve resistance to parasites. Using digital gene expression, we determined the changes in gene expression induced by pollen intake in worker bees parasitized ...

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...
