The genetic selection of a high royal jelly (RJ)-producing strain of bees (RJBs) from Italian
bees (ITBs) has been conducted for nearly four decades in China since the 1980s. RJBs are …

The discovery of new drugs has benefited significantly from the development of research in
venomics, increasing our understanding of the envenomation processes. It has been …

During oviposition, ectoparasitoid wasps not only inject their eggs but also a complex
mixture of proteins and peptides (venom) in order to regulate the host physiology to benefit …

The term “venomics” was coined to describe the global study of venom and venom glands,
targeting comprehensive characterization of the whole toxin profile of a venomous animal by …

Bee venom (BV) is the most valuable product harvested from honeybees (30- 300 USD per
gram) but marginally produced in apiculture. Though widely studied and used in alternative …

Honeybee (Apis mellifera) venom (HBV) has been a subject of extensive proteomics
research; however, scarce information on its metabolite composition can be found in the …

We investigated pathogens in the parasitic honeybee mite Varroa destructor using nanoLC-
MS/MS (TripleTOF) and 2D-E-MS/MS proteomics approaches supplemented with affinity …

To identify and compare venom components and expression patterns, venom gland-specific
transcriptome analyses were conducted for 14 Aculeate bees and wasps. TPM (transcripts …

Organic acids are important active small molecules present in venoms and toxins, which
have not been fully explored yet. The aim of the study was the determination of organic acids …

Abstract Polybia paulista (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) is a neotropical social wasp from
