After two weeks of oral administration, on termination, five bees were collected and dissected from each cage, and their midguts were cut into 8 μm thick sections by microtome. Subsequently, these histologically processed preparations were observed under camera fitted microscope. It was observed that the experimental workers were provided with diets: (pollen+ 50% w/v sucrose in 1.96% acetic acid, pollen+ L. rhamnosus in 50% w/v sucrose in distilled water, pollen+ L. rhamnosus in 50% w/v sucrose in 2.99% lactic acid, pollen+ L. rhamnosus in 50% w/v sucrose in 2.91% acetic acid, pollen+ L. rhamnosus in 50% w/v sucrose in 1.96% acetic acid) had a considerable quantity of peritrophic membranes. The mean midgut lumen diameters (µm2) were 373.33 ± 98.38, 296.67 ± 23.33, 243.33 ± 71.72, 426.67 ± 40.55, 576.67 ± 93.87 as compared to control’s 240.00 ± 30.55. The provision of probiotic and organic acids resulted in a slightly disturbed midgut epithelial wall, the presence of more quantity of peritrophic membranes, saved regeneration crypts, more gastric cells discharging, and some cytoplasmic vacuolization of caged worker bees. Our study suggests that probiotics and organic acids can be used as an environmentally friendly apipromotor, but verification by field studies is needed.Keywords: Probioticsorganic acidsmidgutApis melliferaHistological changes AcknowledgmentsThe role of Dr. Sohail Ahmed, lecturer, department of poultry science, University of Veterinary and animal sciences Lahore is much appreciable for assisting in statistical analyses.Disclosure statementThe authors declare that they have no competing interests.","PeriodicalId":15006,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Apicultural Research","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136113201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Profound effects are inevitable in global agriculture, and beekeeping is certainly no exemption. Indeed, extreme weather and natural disasters have already had an impact on honey bees. Thus, it appears evident that climate change will constitute a key stress factor for managed bees and beekeepers alike contributing to increased colony losses and reduced income. Here, we review the literature on the impact of climate change on honey bees and beekeeping. Based on the literature, it is evident that at present there is no inclusive strategy for beekeeping to adequately deal with the challenges global climate change will bring. Here, we call for such a strategy and briefly list the main challenges for future beekeeping due to a changing climate as well as suggest possible countermeasures. Ultimately, the impact of climate change and its mitigation are at present insufficiently understood in the beekeeping context. This calls for respective concerted efforts of scientists, beekeepers, and other stakeholders to find a sustainable future for beekeeping. Such efforts will inevitably require evidence-based mitigation measures to deal with the increasing global impact of climate change.","PeriodicalId":15006,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Apicultural Research","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135481786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we compared the concentration and quality of DNA extracted from queen spermatheca using four commercial kits to determine the best method to obtain DNA suitable for single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping by next-generation sequencing. The four kits were tested with different adjustments in the lysis incubation time, use of RNA-carrier, elution conditions and number of re-elutions. Only the use of QIAamp DNA Microkit with 3 h of lysis incubation, the addition of RNA-carrier and multiple re-elutions produced a DNA concentration over the required threshold.Keywords: Honey beespermathecagenomic DNA isolationDNA extraction Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingContributions of Jakob Wegener and Eduard Musin were supported by funds of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture based on a decision of the Parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany via the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food, grant number 2818BM040.
