This study uses clodronate liposomes to deplete hemocytes in honey bees, revealing age- and temperature-dependent effects on immune response and survival to bacterial infections.

This study identifies differentially expressed miRNAs in honey bee cells infected with Acute bee paralysis virus, suggesting roles in antiviral defense or viral pathogenesis.

The paper successfully delivers CRISPR-Cas9 via a baculovirus vector to knock down AmOctβ2R in honey bee brain neurons, leading to appetite suppression.
