This study quantifies Varroa destructor host residence time, finding it increases with days post-exposure, driven by initial exposure rather than host type or density, with implications for pathogen transmission and control.

This study compares scototaxis behavior in four honey bee species, finding stronger orientation in open-nesting species and suggesting ancestral trait reduction in cavity-nesting lineages.

This study shows that Nosema ceranae infection reduces nestmate recognition in honey bees by altering cuticular hydrocarbon profiles and decreasing rejection rates in behavioral assays.
