The hydrolysis of glucosidic linkage catalyzed by every carbohydrate-hydrolase is a reaction
in which the product retains (α→ α or β→ β) or inverts (α→ β or β→ α) the anomeric …

Honey bees can be found all around the world and fulfill key pollination roles within their
natural ecosystems, as well as in agriculture. Most species are typically docile, and most …

The microsporidium Nosema ceranae is a newly prevalent parasite of the European honey
bee (Apis mellifera). Although this parasite is presently spreading across the world into its …

The characterization of major proteins of honeybee larval jelly (49–87 kDa) was performed
by the sequencing of new complementary DNAs (cDNAs) obtained from a honeybee head …

Across the globe, honey bee populations have been declining at an unprecedented rate.
Managed honey bees are highly social, frequent a multitude of environmental niches, and …

Although nectar is consumed, primarily as a supplemental food, by a broad range of insects
spanning at least five orders, it is processed and stored by only a small number of species …

Worker honeybees change their behaviour from the role of nurse to that of forager with age.
We have isolated cDNA clones for two honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) genes, encoding α …

Royal jelly, a honey bee secretion, plays a critical role in caste determination in honey bees
because it serves as the source of nutrition for young larvae destined to become queens. It is …

To identify candidate genes involved in the aggressive behavior of worker honeybees, we
used the differential display method to search for RNAs exclusively detected in the brains of …

Carbohydrate‐metabolizing enzymes may have particularly interesting roles in the honey
bee, Apis mellifera, because this social insect has an extremely carbohydrate‐rich diet, and …
