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...
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...

Chryseobacterium sp. 'Rf worker isolate 10' Genome sequencing
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 
This experiment examines differences in gene expression between wildtype and an experimental strain (anarchistic) of worker honey bees (Apis mellifera). Mature wildtype and anarchistic workers tend to have non-active and active ovaries, respectively. Thus young workers from these strains are expecte...

Analysis used total RNA samples of individual brains of low hygienic strain worker bees that were derived from experimental colonies combined of low hygienic genotypes (L pure colonies) resp. low and high hygienic genotypes (L/H mixed colonies). Four-condition experiment: individuals that did perfor...

Characterization of naturally-occurring RNAs (up to 200nt) in the honey bee worker and royal jelly
ORGANISM(S): Apis mellifera 
The drug phenobarbital induces cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) gene expression in many animals, but no changes in P450 expression, or expression of any detoxification genes, were observed in worker honey bees fed on phenobarbital-candy relative to bees fed plain candy. Keywords: Expression pro...

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...

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 microRNA gene-microarray, and observed that both worker jelly and royal jelly...
