Article Abstract
is a highly prevalent parasite of honey bees. Herein is reported the draft genome sequences of C2 and C3 strains of 27.15 Mbp and 26.94 Mbp, respectively. The genomes were sequenced using Illumina MiSeq platform and will allow for further comparative and functional genomics studies.

Pollinators: Honey bees shift tolerance to attacks with seasonal decline in flower availability.
Curr Biol

Department of Entomology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA, USA. Electronic address:
A new study shows that, as floral resources decline over the season, honey bees gradually increase their tolerance to attacks when foraging, a shift that may enable them to exploit other colonies' honey stores during robbing season.

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are essential pollinators threatened by sublethal effects of pesticides such as imidacloprid, a widely used neonicotinoid that disrupts the central nervous system. However, many of the systemic effects are poorly understood, especially on the physiological homeostasis of the honey bee. We evaluated the effects of oral administration of imidacloprid and the flavonol rutin on the properties of extracellular fluid (ECF) in Apis mellifera.

In social species, group functions often benefit from variation among individual group members. Many highly integrated social insect colonies rely on division of labour among colony members and emergent properties of their collective behaviour and physiology. Response threshold models are a prominent proximate explanation of division of labour, but how variation in response thresholds arise is largely unexplored.

The diamide insecticide cyantraniliprole (CYA) and the triazole fungicide difenoconazole (DIF) are frequently co-detected in bee-related matrices. However, the interactive effects of these compounds on honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) physiology remain insufficiently elucidated.

Honey bee health is affected by a variety of environmental factors, with Varroa destructor parasitism and pesticide exposure being important factors contributing to colony decline. In this study, we assessed the effects of V. destructor infestation in combination with imidacloprid exposure on honey bees.
