Honey bees (Apis mellifera) exhibit remarkable genetic diversity shaped by millennia of natural selection, migratory events and human‐mediated management. This diversity underpins their adaptability ...

Queen bees emit a pheromone that attracts worker bees — the queen's daughters — to her side. The differentiation of bee larvae into either workers or queens has baffled researchers, and now a team led ...

An interesting genetic study has unlocked key variations in the West African honey bee (Apis mellifera adansonii), shedding light on its molecular diversity across urban and rural environments in ...

The molecular mechanisms driving honey bee fate have been revealed. Despite having identical genetic instructions, female honey bee larvae can develop into either long-lived reproductive queens or ...
