Journal ArticleDOI
Diet effects on honeybee immunocompetence
TL;DR: A link between protein nutrition and immunity in honeybees and the critical role of resource availability on pollinator health is suggested and the importance of diet diversity is underscored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic dissection of behavioral maturation in the honey bee
Charles W. Whitfield,Yehuda Ben-Shahar,Charles Brillet,Isabelle Leoncini,Didier Crauser,Yves LeConte,Sandra L. Rodriguez-Zas,Gene E. Robinson +7 more
TL;DR: A successful dissection of gene expression indicates that, for social behavior, gene expression in the brain can provide a robust indicator of the interaction between hereditary and environmental information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of behavioral maturation by a primer pheromone produced by adult worker honey bees
Isabelle Leoncini,Yves Le Conte,Guy Costagliola,Erika Plettner,Amy L. Toth,Mianwei Wang,Zachary Y. Huang,Jean Marc Bécard,Didier Crauser,Keith N. Slessor,Gene E. Robinson +10 more
TL;DR: The identification of a substance produced by adult forager honey bees, ethyl oleate, that acts as a chemical inhibitory factor to delay age at onset of foraging is reported, suggesting that worker behavioral maturation is modulated via trophallaxis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential gene expression of the honey bee Apis mellifera associated with Varroa destructor infection
Maria Navajas,Alain Migeon,Cédric Alaux,Marie-Laure Martin-Magniette,Marie-Laure Martin-Magniette,Gene E. Robinson,Jay D. Evans,S. Cros-Arteil,Didier Crauser,Y. Le Conte +9 more
TL;DR: Differences in behavior, rather than in the immune system, underlie Varroa tolerance in honey bees, and provide a first step toward better understanding molecular pathways involved in this important host-parasite relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Honey bee colonies that have survived Varroa destructor
Yves Le Conte,Gérard de Vaublanc,Didier Crauser,François Jeanne,Jean-Claude Rousselle,Jean-Marc Bécard +5 more
TL;DR: Results provide evidence that untreated local honey bee colonies can survive the mite, which may be the basis for integrated Varroa management.
