Data for: The significance of Apis cerana cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae) gnawing off the old brood cells
<p><em>Apis cerana cerana</em> has the biological characteristic of gnawing off the old brood cells for rearing multiple generations of workers. This study investigated the internal structure of newly built, old, and semi-rebuilt brood cells and their effects on the morphological development of workers to understand the significance of <em>Apis cerana cerana</em> gnawing off the old brood cells. The structural dimensions of the brood cells and the morphological characteristics of the newly emerged workers were measured. The results showed that <em>Apis cerana cerana</em> gnaw off the old brood cells mainly in two ways either by removing the whole cell or only the cell walls keeping the bases. The workers construct semi-rebuilt brood cells on the foundation of these old cell bases. The main shapes of the newly built, old, and semi-rebuilt brood cells are hexagonal prism, hexagonal prismatic table, and hexagonal prism having three rhombuses, hemisphere, and hemisphere-shaped bases, respectively. The average thickness of the newly built or semi-rebuilt brood comb was significantly smaller than that of the old brood comb (<em>P</em><0.05), while it was almost the same for the newly built and semi-rebuilt brood combs (<em>P</em>>0.05). The depth of brood cells showed no significant difference between the three types of brood cells (<em>P</em>>0.05), but the brood cell volumes were significantly different (<em>P</em><0.05). There was no significant difference among the three diameters (at the top, middle, and bottom positions) of newly built or semi-rebuilt brood cells (<em>P</em>>0.05), but these changed within the old brood cells (<em>P</em><0.05). The top, middle, and bottom diameters of the newly built or semi-rebuilt brood cells were significantly larger than those of the old brood cells (<em>P</em><0.05), but were almost the same between the newly built and the semi-rebuilt brood cells (<em>P</em>>0.05). The weight and base thickness of the cocoon were significantly greater in the old brood cells than those in the semi-rebuilt brood cells (<em>P</em><0.05). Importantly, the birth weight, body length, and the tested 6 external morphological indices did not show a significant difference between the newly built and the semi-rebuilt brood cells (<em>P</em>>0.05), but were significantly larger than those of old brood cells (<em>P</em><0.05). The size of brood cell and the external morphology of the workers showed a positive correlation. This study highlights the significance of <em>Apis cerana cerana</em> gnawing off the old brood cells providing a reference for its scientific breeding.</p>

Effects of Nosema ceranae (DISSOCIODIHAPLOPHASIDA: Nosematidae) and flupyradifurone on olfactory learning in honey bees, Apis mellifera (HYMENOPTERA: Apidae)
<p>The health of insect pollinators, particularly the honey bee, <em>Apis mellifera </em>(Linnaeus, 1758), is a major concern for agriculture and ecosystem health. In response to mounting evidence supporting the detrimental effects of neonicotinoid pesticides on pollinators, a novel “bee safe” butenolide compound, flupyradifurone (FPF) has been registered for agricultural use. Although FPF is not a neonicotinoid, like neonicotinoids, it is an excitotoxic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. In addition, <em>A. mellifera</em> faces threats from pathogens, such as the microsporidian endoparasite,<em> Nosema ceranae</em> (Fries et al., 1996). We therefore sought (1) to increase our understanding of the potential effects of FPF on honey bees by focusing on a crucial behavior, the ability to learn and remember an odor associated with a food reward, and (2) to test for a potential synergistic effect on such learning by exposure to FPF and infection with <em>N. ceranae. </em>We found little evidence that FPF significantly alters learning and memory at short-term field-realistic doses. However, at high doses and at chronic, field-realistic exposure, FPF did reduce learning and memory in an olfactory conditioning task. Infection with <em>N. ceranae</em> also reduced learning, but there was no synergy (no significant interaction) between<em> N. ceranae</em> and exposure to FPF. These results suggest the importance of continued studies on the chronic effects of FPF.</p>
Data from: How efficient is Apis cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in pollinating cabbage, Brassica oleracea var. capitata? pollination behavior, pollinator effectiveness, pollinator requirement, and impact of pollination
Cabbage is a cross-pollinated crop because of sporophytic self-incompatibility, and honey bees play an important role in its pollination. Though Asian honey bees, Apis cerana F., are used in pollination of cabbage, the rate of visitation, behavior, pollinator efficacy, and impact on seed-set are to be determined. Apis cerana occupy a share of 19.18% of all the flower visitors of cabbage in natural habitat of North Western Indian Himalayas. Pollination behavior in terms of peak activity, flowers processed per unit time, time spent per flower, and time spent in search of flowers are studied separately for both pollen and nectar foragers. Pollinator effectiveness as measured by seed set in flowers excluded from bee visitation, single bee visit, and unrestricted pollinator visits was 0.11. Studies on the impact of A. cerana bee pollination in cabbage seed production revealed an increase of 17.28% in siliqua per panicle, with 26.11% increase in seed yield. For assessing the requirement of A. cerana to pollinate one hectare of cabbage, flower availability and the speed with which the pollen and nectar foragers process the flowers are taken into consideration. A forager is estimated to pollinate 4,780 flowers a day, but cabbage flower requires 9.09 visits of A. cerana for optimum seed set. Thus, a maximum of 4,999 bee foragers or 8.33 colonies are needed to effectively pollinate 1 ha of cabbage. Though A. cerana is a good pollinator, our findings suggest that it is not an ideal pollinator of cabbage.
Data from: Phantom alternatives influence food preferences in the eastern honey bee Apis cerana
1. Most models of animal choice behaviour assume that desirable but unavailable options, such as a high quality, but inhabited nest site, do not influence an individual's preferences for the remaining options. However, experiments suggest that in mammals such 'phantom' alternatives can alter, and even reverse, an individual's preferences for other items in a choice set. 2. Here we investigate the effect of phantom alternatives on feeder preferences in the eastern honey bee, Apis cerana. 3. First, we tested the effects of unattractive and attractive phantom by presenting individual bees with either a binary choice set containing two feeders that differed strongly in two qualities, but were equally preferred overall ('the target' and 'the competitor'), or a trinary choice set containing the target, the competitor and one of two phantom types (unattractive and attractive). Second, we determined whether phantoms change preferences between the competitor and target by increasing preference towards or away from the phantom-similar available choice. 4. Attractive phantoms consistently changed individual bee preferences in favour of the phantom-similar choice. 5. Our study shows that the phantom alternative effect is not limited to mammals. Moreover, the phantom effect can shift individual preference in a consistent and predictable way. Our results highlight the importance of considering the potential for phantom effects when considering the foraging behaviour of animals in natural environments.
Recapping behavior in Apis cerana: does it contribute to resistance against Varroa destructor?
<p><span>The invasion of the ectoparasitic mite <em>Varroa</em> <em>destructor</em> in the European honey bee, <em>Apis</em> <em>mellifera</em>, populations has led to the collapse of most wild stocks and to economic losses in beekeeping operations. Understanding how some <em>A. mellifera</em> populations survive infestations by this parasite is of high fundamental and practical interest and has led to numerous studies of potential resistance mechanisms. One of these mechanisms is the uncapping and recapping of comb cells containing infested individuals b</span><span>y</span><span> nurse bees. Recapping was observed in most surviving populations, but its link to <em>V. destructor</em> resistance remains unclear. Investigating the occurrence of recapping in the Eastern honey bee, <em>Apis</em> <em>cerana</em>, the original host of the parasite, could provide a better understanding of the evolution and function of this behaviour in the genus <em>Apis</em>. We here determined the frequency of recapping in two <em>A. cerana</em> populations in China and Thailand and compared them with a sympatric <em>A. mellifera</em> population in China. The species, which differ in their susceptibility to infestations, did not show significant differences in recapping frequency. A specific association between recapping and resistance to <em>V. destructo</em>r in <em>A.</em> <em>cerana</em> is thus not supported. We discuss possible evolution scenarios and functions for this behaviour.</span></p>
