Age‑performance and intensity of grooming behavior toward Varroa destructor in resistant and susceptible Apis mellifera colonies
(Springer, 2022-10)Grooming behavior confers resistance to honey bees against Varroa destructor, being of interest to social immunity studies and breeding programs. The objective of this study was to characterize at the individual level the ... -
Agricultural intensification impairs behavioral abilities and the expression of genes associated with social responsiveness in honeybees
(Cell Press, 2024-08-12)The honeybee Apis mellifera is one of the main pollinators in agroecosystems, and, consequently, its colonies are exposed to agrochemicals and more fragmented and homogeneous habitats. As a social insect, this could lead ... -
Bacterially expressed dsRNA induces Varroa destructor gene knockdown by honey bee-mediated oral administration
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-02)The ectoparasite Varroa destructor causes serious losses of Apis mellifera colonies and negatively impacts the beekeeping industry around the world. New control methods have been proposed based on the RNA interference ... -
Bases genéticas del comportamiento defensivo de colonias de Apis mellifera adaptadas a clima subtropical
(Facultad de Cs. Naturales e Instituto “Miguel Lillo”, Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, 2022)La abeja de la miel, Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) es considerada a nivel mundial como el principal insecto polinizador de cultivos y productor de miel para consumo humano. También es un importante modelo para ... -
Caracterización de la variabilidad genética de colonias comerciales y silvestres de Apis mellifera en Argentina
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, 2018-09)La abeja doméstica o abeja melífera, Apis mellifera (Linnaeus, 1758) , es un insecto social perteneciente al orden Hymenoptera, familia Apidae. Esta especie está estrechamente relacionada con la actividad humana a través ... -
Complete genome sequence of deformed wing virus and black queen cell virus isolated from honeybees (Apis mellifera) in Argentina
(American Society for Microbiology, 2024-03)We report the complete genome sequence of deformed wing virus and black queen cell virus isolated from Argentinean’s honeybees. These sequence data will be valuable for future research on the viral variants present in the ... -
El comportamiento de acicalamiento de Apis mellifera hacia el ácaro Varroa destructor : Bases fenotípicas y genéticas e implicancia sobre la resistencia a la varroosis
(Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2023-08)Apis mellifera es un insecto polinizador clave y constituye el mayor productor de miel para consumo humano. Uno de los principales patógenos de las abejas melíferas es el ácaro Varroa destructor. Este ectoparásito generalmente ... -
Contribution of honeybees to soybean yield
(Springer, 2018-02)Despite the economic importance of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], knowledge on the contribution of entomological pollination on seed yield is scarce. This study estimates the production of soybean resulting from pollination ... -
Current status of the small hive beetle Aethina tumida in Latin America
(Springer Nature, 2023-03)The small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida, is a parasitic pest and scavenger of social bees native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is a generalist species which can also reproduce in association with nests of stingless bees, ... -
Defensive Behavior and Morphometric Variation in Apis mellifera Colonies From Two Different Agro-Ecological Zones of North-Western Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2021-09-14)European lineages of Apis mellifera were first introduced into America for beekeeping purposes. A subsequent introduction and accidental release of A. m. scutellata resulted in hybridization events that gave rise to ... -
Detection and characterization of Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) in apiaries with stationary and migratory management in the province of Entre Ríos, Argentina
(Springer Nature, 2024-07)In Argentina, migratory activity in search of floral diversity has become a common approach to maximizing honey production. The Entre Ríos province possesses a floral diversity that allows beekeepers to perform migratory ... -
Detection of adulterations in native stingless bees honey from Argentina using UV–Vis spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics
(Springer, 2024-07)Stingless bee honeys are appreciated in the world market due to their nutritional and biological properties. In Argentina, the most commercially exploited species of stingless bee is Tetragonisca fiebrigi whose honey is ... -
Determination of imidacloprid in beehive samples by UHPLC-MS/MS
(2018)Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid family. It was the first neonicotinoid introduced in the mid-1990s, and since then, its use has grown rapidly to control pests in a variety of agricultural ... -
Detoxification response in honey bee larvae exposed to agricultural intensification
(Elsevier, 2025-05)Honey bee Apis mellifera colonies located in agroecosystems are exposed to pesticides and more fragmented habitats. The resources that bees obtain in these environments may be exposed to agrochemicals, which can accumulate ... -
