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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

TranscriptomicsTranscription profiling of brains of 10 day old virgin queen, sterile worker, and reproductive worker honey bees
We used microarrays to monitor expression patterns of several thousand genes in the brains of same-aged (10 day old) virgin queens, sterile workers, and reproductive workers in honey bees (Apis mellifera).

TranscriptomicscGMP modulates responses to queen mandibular pheromone in worker honey bees
Responses to social cues, such as pheromones, can be modified by genotype, physiology, or environmental context. Honey bee queens produce a pheromone (queen mandibular pheromone; QMP) which regulates many aspects of worker bee behavior and physiology. Forager honey bees are less responsive to QMP t...

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...

ProteomicsImidacloprid increases the prevalence of Lotmaria passim in honey bee workers
This dataset contains nanoLC-MS/MS results of heads of honey bee workers. All the heads were from 13 days old bees that were 11 days postinfection (DPI) that lasted 24 hours. Abdomens of bees were analyzed using qPCR to determine parasite load. Further, corresponding selected heads were subjected to...

TranscriptomicsParallel Epigenomic and Transcriptomic Responses to Viral Infection in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera)
Here, we examined the transcriptional and epigenetic (DNA methylation) responses to viral infection in honey bee workers. One-day old worker honey bees were fed solutions containing Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV), a virus which causes muscle paralysis and death and has previously been associa...
