Commonly referred to as yellow or Carolina jasmine/jessamine, Gelsemium sempervirens is a flowering plant that serves as a model for the study of plant-pollinator interactions. The plant produces abundant, fragrant flowers during the early spring that may be visited by honey bees (Apis mellifera), p... Integration of Physical and Chemical Tactics for Managing Systena frontalis [F. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)] at Ornamental Nurseries The Red-headed Flea Beetle [Systena frontalis (F.); RHFB] is native to the central and eastern U.S. and has become a costly multivoltine pest of containerized nursery plants. We tested discs of long-lasting insecticidal netting (LLIN) secured over rims of plant containers in spring of 2023, using fo... Assessment of Mitochondrial Function in the AmE-711 Honey Bee Cell Line: Boscalid and Pyraclostrobin Effects There is a growing concern that chronic exposure to fungicides, as well as their interaction with pathogens and other pesticides, contributes to an array of negative effects on honey bee development, lifespan, and behavior. Field and caged-bee studies help characterize the outcome of field-relevant ... Honey bee Apis mellifera L. responses to oxidative stress induced by pharmacological and pesticidal compounds The western honey bee, Apis mellifera L., is a eusocial insect that plays major roles in ecosystem balances and pollination of plants and food crops. Honey bees face multiple biotic and abiotic stressors, such as pathogens, diseases, chemical pesticides, and climate change, which all contribute to h... Honey bee Apis mellifera L. Responses to Oxidative Stress Induced by Pharmacological and Pesticide Compounds The western honey bee, Apis mellifera L., is a eusocial insect that plays major roles in ecosystem balances and pollination of plants and food crops. Honey bees face multiple biotic and abiotic stressors, such as pathogens, diseases, chemical pesticides, and climate challenges which all contribute ... Evaluation of genotoxic and genoprotective effects of Agaricus bisporus extract on AmE-711 honey bee cell line in the Comet assay. The aim of the present study was to evaluate, for the first time, genotoxic and antigenotoxic potential of Agaricus bisporus on honey bee cell line AmE-711 using the comet assay. Three increasing concentrations of A. bisporus water extract (100, 200, 400 µg/ml) were tested. The cells in negative co... Using the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) cell line, AmE-711, to evaluate pesticide toxicity Pesticides have been identified as a leading contributor to poor performance and elevated mortality of honey bee colonies in many parts of the world. Exposure of honey bees to pesticides may occur in and around treated landscapes, but also within the hive environment, where pesticide residues may ac... An insight into the microRNA profiles of an ectoparasite mite Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae), the primary vector of Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) of the honey bee Apis mellifera L The remarkably adaptive mite Varroa destructor is the most important honey bee ectoparasite. Varroamites are competent vectors of deformed wing virus (DWV), and the Varroa-virus complex is a major determinant of annual honey bee colony mortality and collapse. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 22-24 nucleotide ... Disease-Mitigating Innovations for the Pollination Service Industry: Challenges and Opportunities. Bees are important pollinators of cultivated and wild flowering plants that humans and other organisms utilize for food, fiber, medicine, and shelter. Increases in crop yield and quality due to bee pollination leads to significant human associated gains in income, nutrition, and ecosystem health. Ho... Social fever or general immune response? Revisiting an example of social immunity in honey bees Honey bees use several strategies to protect themselves and the colony from parasites and pathogens. In addition to individual immunity, social immunity involves the cumulative effort of some individuals to limit the spread of parasites and pathogens to uninfected nestmates. Examples of social imm... The pathogen profile of a honey bee queen does not reflect that of her workers Throughout a honey bee queen’s lifetime, she is tended by her worker daughters that feed and groom her. Such interactions provide possible horizontal transmission routes for pathogens from the workers to the queen, and as such a queen’s pathogen profile may be representative of the workers within a ... Social-medication in bees: the line between individual and social regulation We use the term social-medication to describe the deliberate consumption or use of plant compounds by social insects that are detrimental to a pathogen or parasite at the colony level, result in increased inclusive fitness to the colony, and have potential costs either at the individual- or colony-l... Gamma irradiation inactivates honey bee fungal, microsporidian, and viral pathogens and parasites Managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) populations are currently facing unsustainable losses due to a variety of factors. Colonies are challenged with brood pathogens, such as the fungal agent of chalkbrood disease, the microsporidian gut parasite Nosema sp., and several viruses. These pathogens may be ...
