Evidence For Associative Learning In Newly Emerged Honey Bees
Evidence For Associative Learning In Newly Emerged Honey Bees

The honey bee is a model organism for studies on the neural substrates of learning and memory. Associative olfactory learning using sucrose rewards is fast and reliable in foragers and older hive bees. However, researchers have so far failed to show any signiWcant learning in newly emerged bees. It is generally argued that in these bees only part of the brain structures important for learning are fully developed.

Biodiversity Conservation And Current Threats To European Honeybees
Biodiversity Conservation And Current Threats To European Honeybees

 Europe harbours several endemic honeybee (Apis mellifera) subspecies. Yet the distribution of these subspecies is nowadays also much influenced by beekeeping activities. Large scale migratory beekeeping and trade in queens, coupled with the promiscuous mating system of honeybees, have exposed native European honeybees to increasing introgressive hybridization with managed non-native subspecies,

Potential Of Honey In The Treatment Of Wounds And Burns
Potential Of Honey In The Treatment Of Wounds And Burns

There has been a renaissance in recent times in the use of honey, an ancient and traditional wound dressing, for the treatment of wounds, burns, and skin ulcers. In the past decade, there have been many reports of case studies, experiments using animal models, and randomized controlled clinical trials that provide a large body of very convincing evidence for its effectiveness, and biomedical research that explains how honey produces such good results

Honey For Wound Healing, Ulcers, And Burns; Data Supporting Its Use In Clinical Practice
Honey For Wound Healing, Ulcers, And Burns; Data Supporting Its Use In Clinical Practice

The widespread existence of unhealed wounds, ulcers, and burns has a great impact on public health and the economy. Many interventions, including new medications and technologies, are being used to help achieve significant wound healing and to eliminate infections.

Comparison Of The Antibacterial Activity Of Honey From Different Provenance Against Bacteria Usually Isolated From Skin Wounds
Comparison Of The Antibacterial Activity Of Honey From Different Provenance Against Bacteria Usually Isolated From Skin Wounds

The antibacterial activity of honey samples provided by apiarists and honey packers was tested against microorganisms usually isolated from skin wounds. The antibacterial activity was tested using the well-agar diffusion assay. The honey samples were tested without dilution, and at 75, 50, 30, and 10% (w/v) dilution

Queen Promiscuity Lowers Disease Within Honeybee Colonies
Queen Promiscuity Lowers Disease Within Honeybee Colonies

Most species of social insects have singly mated queens, but in some species each queen mates with numerous males to create a colony with a genetically diverse worker force. The adaptive significance of polyandry by social insect queens remains an evolutionary puzzle. Using the honeybee (Apis mellifera), we tested the hypothesis that polyandry improves a colony’s resistance to disease.

Genetic Diversity Within Honeybee Colonies Prevents Severe Infections And Promotes Colony Growth
Genetic Diversity Within Honeybee Colonies Prevents Severe Infections And Promotes Colony Growth

Multiple mating by social insect queens increases the genetic diversity among colony members, thereby reducing intracolonic relatedness and lowering the potential inclusive fitness gains of altruistic workers. Increased genetic diversity may be adaptive, however, by reducing the prevalence of disease within a nest. Honeybees, whose queens have the highest levels of multiple mating among social insects, were investigated to determine whether genetic variation helps to prevent chronic infections.

Fever In Honeybee Colonies
Fever In Honeybee Colonies

Honeybees, Apis spp., maintain elevated temperatures inside their nests to accelerate brood development and to facilitate defense against predators. We present an additional defensive function of elevating nest temperature: honeybees generate a broodcomb fever in response to colonial infection by the heat-sensitive pathogen Ascosphaera apis.

Adaptive Significance Of The Age Polyethism Schedule In Honeybee Colonies
Adaptive Significance Of The Age Polyethism Schedule In Honeybee Colonies

The adaptive origins of the honeybee's age polyethism schedule were studied by testing whether the schedule for labor inside the nest reflects a compromise between efficiency in locating tasks and efficiency in performing tasks.

The Value Of Honeybee Pollination To Society
The Value Of Honeybee Pollination To Society

The agronomic and economic value of honeybee effected pollination has been an internationally contentious issue since at least the turn of the century. As early as 1913 horticultural scientists were urging cherry growers in Oregon State of the USA to employ bees for pollination: “…There is little question… that many cherry orchards would be rendered much more productive if their owners would give proper recognition to the known facts regarding the importance of bees in the orchard.” (Oregon Agricultural College Experiment Station 1913).
