Royal jelly (RJ) is a secretion of the hypopharyngeal glands (HGs) of honeybee workers.
High royal jelly producing bees (RJBs), a stock of honeybees selected from Italian bees (ITBs), …

Objectives: 10-hydroxydec-2-enoic acid (10-HDA), a unique component of royal jelly
existing only in nature, has the potential to promote human health. Knowledge of 10-HDA in …

Behavioral specialization is key to the success of social insects and leads to division of
labor among colony members. Response thresholds to task-specific stimuli are thought to …

Ectoparasitic mites of the genera Varroa and Tropilaelaps have evolved to exclusively
exploit honey bees as food sources during alternating dispersal and reproductive life history …

Although the antimicrobial, nutritional, and health-promoting properties of royal jelly (RJ)
have been widely confirmed, the effects of storage temperature and time on RJ quality remain …

Reproduction involves the investment of resources into offspring. Although variation in
reproductive effort often affects the number of offspring, adjustments of propagule size are also …

10-Hydroxydec-2-enoic acid (10-HDA), an unsaturated hydroxyl fatty acid from the natural
food royal jelly, can protect against cell and tissue damage, yet the underlying mechanisms …

The eastern Apis cerana (Ac) and the western Apis mellifera (Am) are two closely related and
most economically valuable honeybee species managed extensively worldwide. However, …

The neuronal basis of complex social behavior is still poorly understood. In honeybees,
reproductive investment decisions are made at the colony-level. Queens develop from female-…

A gradient heterosturcture is one of the basic methods to control the charge flow in perovskite
solar cells (PSCs). However, a classical route for gradient heterosturctures is based on the …
