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
Influence of pollen nutrition on honey bee health: do pollen quality and diversity matter?
Garance Di Pasquale,Marion Salignon,Yves Le Conte,Luc P. Belzunces,Axel Decourtye,André Kretzschmar,Séverine Suchail,Jean Luc Brunet,Cédric Alaux +8 more
TL;DR: The results support the idea that both the quality and diversity (in a specific context of pollen can shape bee physiology and might help to better understand the influence of agriculture and land-use intensification on bee nutrition and health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Varroa mites and honey bee health: can Varroa explain part of the colony losses?
TL;DR: This work addresses the question of how Varroa contributes to the recent surge in honey bee colony losses and describes the interactions between different stresses involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between Nosema microspores and a neonicotinoid weaken honeybees (Apis mellifera)
Cédric Alaux,Jean-Luc Brunet,Claudia Dussaubat,Fanny Mondet,Sylvie Tchamitchan,Marianne Cousin,Julien Brillard,Aurélie Baldy,Luc P. Belzunces,Yves Le Conte +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the interaction between the microsporidia Nosema and a neonicotinoid (imidacloprid) significantly weakened honeybees, providing the first evidences that interaction between an infectious organism and a chemical can also threaten pollinators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primer Pheromones in Social Hymenoptera
Yves Le Conte,Abraham Hefetz +1 more
TL;DR: The role of primer pheromones in the regulation of reproduction, social policing, and task allocation of social insects is discussed in this article. But, only a few PPhs have been identified, and only few of them have been found in multiple species of social Hymenoptera.
