Protein feed stimulates the development of mandibular glands of honey bees (Apis mellifera)
(Journal of Apicultural Research, 2020) [Resenha]This study assessed the effects of different protein levels on the development of the mandibular gland (MG) in six-day-old worker bees (Apis mellifera) during the dearth period. Twenty colonies were randomly assigned to ... -
Mineral iron affects the development of mandibular gland in Apis mellifera
(Journal of Apicultural Research, 2020) [Artigo]In this study the effects of inorganic iron (Fe) supplementation on the morphology of mandibular glands in Apis mellifera were investigated. We randomly assigned 12 beehives to four treatment groups (with three hives in ... -
Seasonal variation of flavonoid content in bee bread: Potential impact on hypopharyngeal gland development in Apis mellifera honey bees
(Journal of Apicultural Research, 2020) [Artigo]Bee bread is the main source of proteins necessary for the development of hypopharyngeal glands in nurse bees. However, the seasonal chemical composition and its effects on honey bee physiology are poorly understood. Thus, ... -
Effects of feeding increasing levels of yerba mate on lamb meat quality and antioxidant activity
(Animals, 2020) [Artigo]The present study investigated the inclusion of yerba mate extract (YME) in the lamb’s diet on meat quality traits, antioxidant activity, and shelf-life. Thirty–six lambs were distributed according to a block design with ... -
Defense Response in Brazilian Honey Bees (Apis mellifera scutellata × spp.) Is Underpinned by Complex Patterns of Admixture
(Genome biology and evolution, 2020) [Artigo]In 1957, an invasive and highly defensive honey bee began to spread across Brazil. In the previous year, Brazilian researchers hoped to produce a subtropical-adapted honey bee by crossing local commercial honey bees (of ... -
