The paper investigates seasonal changes in cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) of European honey bee subspecies, finding task-specific profiles are more consistent than seasonal shifts.

This study shows that molybdenum supplementation reduced honey bee winter mortality by 44% on average and up to 75% in some locations, with no adverse effects on bee health or honey composition.

This study shows that supplementing honey bees with molybdenum complexes improves their health, reduces mite infestation, and increases honey production.

The paper compares cuticular hydrocarbon profiles across six European honey bee subspecies to assess adaptation to climate and social roles, finding subspecies-specific differences and task-related variations.
