The evolutionary transition from bee-to bird-pollinated plants is usually associated with multiple modifications in floral traits,such as color,size,nectar and pollen presentation mode (Thomson and Wilson,2008).Compar...
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are important pollinators of flowering plants and agricultural crops contributing annually to billions of dollars in revenues to crop production. Honeybees have an average lifespan between 8...
The antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of honey are well-established and recently the potential of honey for biotechnological and food preservative applications appeared promising.According to that,the present s...

Apis mellifera filamentous virus(Am FV)is a large DNA virus that is endemic in honeybee colonies.The genome sequence of the Am FV Swiss isolate(Am FV CH–C05)has been reported,but so far very few molecular studies hav...
Plant-pollinator in teractio ns have a fundame ntal in fluence on flower evolution. Flower color signals are frequently tuned to the visual capabilities of important pollinators such as either bees or birds, but far l...
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) have haplodiploid sex determination: males develop from unfertilized eggs and females develop from fertilized ones. The differences in larval food also determine the development of females. ...
This work was done at the experimental station of the Federal Rural University of the Semi-arid Region (UFERSA) in Mossoró, Brazil. This work aimed to evaluate the surface temperature of the bees and heat transfer ...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic variability in bees Apis mellifera from Benin by using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as a molecular marker in their cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and II (COI-COI1) in...

Aims Worldwide,evidence suggests that exotic pollinators can disrupt plant mating patterns.However,few studies have determined if pol-lination by the honeybee Apis mellifera(the world’s most widely introduced pollina...
Honeybees have received public attention for their remarkable performance in low-altitude flying and their outstanding airborne hovering capability. However, minimal attention has been given to their capability to fly...
