Its purpose is to introduce the background and application of breeding values in honey bees to a readership that is not trained in quantitative genetics. Breeding values are currently not widely used in honey bee breeding. This is in contrast to farm animals, where nearly all breeding programs make use of breeding values. The limited use of breeding values in honey bees has various reasons. One reason is that many honey bee programs just aim at the multiplication of stock obtained from other breeders instead of gradually improving the population. However, for honey bee breeding programs that aim to improve the population, not using breeding values seems a missed opportunity. A second reason is that the use of breeding values is more complicated in honey bees than in farm animals. This is because controlled mating is a challenge (Uzunov et al., 2022b), and queens are mated to several drones from multiple queens. Moreover, traits like honey yield and varroa resistance are not measured on single bees but on colonies as a group of related individuals (known as superorganism) from two generations (mother and daughters).","PeriodicalId":8783,"journal":{"name":"Bee World","volume":"17 1","pages":"9 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87380270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, some cases of anthropogenic pollution would not have been successfully traced without the use of insects to identify artificial sources of its origin (Porrini et al., 2003). Furthermore, due to the constant threat of global warming and climate change, there is an ever-increasing demand to employ the services of insects as bioindicators because they are inextricably linked to the ecosystem they belong to and could reveal even the smallest changes occurring around them (Skorbiłowicz et al., 2018). Insects are even well recognized for their roles in showing toxicity due to agricultural usage of pesticides (Kavanagh et al., 2021). The presence or absence of insects on food crops could play key roles in saving lives from acute toxicity; the former indicating safe to eat while the latter, a warning sign of imminent danger due to the absence of insect life on it (Soldano et al., 2016). This indicates that the knowledge of the use of insects as bioindicators has great implications for saving human lives by preventing the consumption of toxic food grains.","PeriodicalId":8783,"journal":{"name":"Bee World","volume":"23 1","pages":"31 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87709825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It Will Be Cold, and Then It Will Be Warm Again Three authors from Kyiv, Ukraine, managed under the current circumstances to continue their work on honey bees, submit, and edit a paper in Bee World. Roman Dvykaliuk and colleagues are interested in increasing propolis collection and in learning more about the behaviour of bees as they propolize a structure within the hive. In their study, they compared how bees propolize one frame covered with mesh and two other frame types, presenting the bees with additional stimuli to propolize. The first is an essential oil, and the second is a draught created by inducing a chimney effect. The authors found regularly sized propolis drops on all three frame types in spaces that were inaccessible to bees for further use. How did the propolis drops get there? The authors speculate that the bee’s mandibular gland enzymes may dilute the propolis to an almost liquid phase during the process of propolization. They reference research by the Hungarian author Örösi-Pal, published in Bee World in 1957, who showed that wax and propolis are soluble in a mandibular gland secretion. The drops Dvykaliuk et al. found in the collectors could simply be the result of bees losing the propolis while working with it. This is a very keen hypothesis, and I hope that we will learn more about this exciting behaviour in the future.","PeriodicalId":8783,"journal":{"name":"Bee World","volume":"82 1","pages":"109 - 109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88836461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
