For identification advice please use our UK Bees, Wasps and Ants Facebook page where helpful advice from experts is usually quickly available. Once you know the identification then please upload your photo(s) to iRecord along with (who,what, where and when) record data. Key works for the id...
HONEYBEESHoney bee colony health has received considerable attention in recent years, with many studies highlighting multifactorial issues contributing to colony losses. Disease and weather are consistently highlighted as primary drivers of colony loss, yet little is understood about how they interact. ...
Genetic, individual, and group facilitation of disease resistance in honey bees (Apis mellifera) and two species of paper wasps (Polistes dominulus and P. ... Social insects are remarkable for their extreme form of group living. This includes a reproductive division of labor, overlap of generati...
2018). Perhaps this is partly related to overarching focus on bees (Apidae) and willingness to fund bee-related research programmes, having strong ties with food security (Porto et al. 2020). There is less recognition that other families in this order are equally important, both economically ...

The Carniolan honey bee (Apis mellifera carnica) plays an essential role in crop pollination, environment diversity, and the production of honey bee products. However, the health of individual honey bees and their colonies is under pressure due to multiple stressors, including viruses as a ...
In other insects, m6A was found to regulate insecticide resistance in Bemisia tobaci [21] and diapause-related genes in silkworms [22] and impact caste differentiation and larval development in honey bees [20,33]. However, the biological roles of m6A mRNA in other insects, including mosquitoes...
To summarize, we find three types of multiple affiliations that can be classified as (A) a highly internationalized, HEI cantered affiliation distribution as represented by researchers in the UK, (B) a balanced affiliation distribution as seen in Germany, and (C) a domestic, cross-sector ...
