Varroa destructor has been identified as a major culprit responsible for the losses of millions of honeybee colonies. Varroa sensitive hygiene (VSH) is a suite of behaviors from adult bees to suppress mite reproduction by uncapping and/or removing mite infested pupae from a sealed brood. Despite the efforts to elucidate the molecular underpinnings of VSH, they remain largely unknown. We investigated the proteome of mushroom bodies (MBs) and antennae of adult bees with and without VSH from a…

Proteome Comparisons between Hemolymph of Two Honeybee Strains (Apis mellifera ligustica) Reveal Divergent Molecular Basis in Driving Hemolymph Function and High Royal Jelly Secretion.
TLDR
This work characterized and compared hemolymph proteomes across the larval and adult ages of Italian bees and Royal Jelly bees and found that RJbs and ITbs have adapted their proteome to initiate different developmental trajectories and high RJ secretion in response to selection for enhanced RJ production.
2D-DIGE proteomic analysis reveals changes in haemolymph proteome of 1-day-old honey bee (Apis mellifera) workers in response to infection with Varroa destructor mites
TLDR
Changes in 44 haemolymph proteins in response to the Varroa parasitism were identified, including carbohydrate metabolism, detoxification and oxidative stress response, nutrient reservoir activity, oxidoreductase activity and the olfactory system.
Quantitative proteomics reveals divergent responses in Apis mellifera worker and drone pupae to parasitization by Varroa destructor.
A Varroa destructor protein atlas reveals molecular underpinnings of developmental transitions and sexual differentiation
TLDR
This work provides a first-of-its-kind interrogation of the patterns of gene expression that govern the Varroa life cycle and the tools developed will support further research on this threatening honey bee pest.
A Varroa destructor protein atlas reveals molecular underpinnings of developmental transitions and sexual differentiation*
TLDR
A first-of-its-kind interrogation of the patterns of protein expression that govern the Varroa life cycle is provided and functional enrichment analysis suggests that chromatin remodeling may be a key feature of sex determination.
Honey bee survival mechanisms against the parasite Varroa destructor: a systematic review of phenotypic and genomic research efforts.
Suitability of drone olfactory sensitivity as a selection trait for Varroa-resistance in honeybees
TLDR
While the drone PER conditioning results were not significantly reflected in the VSH results of the respective offspring, the genetic origin of the participating queens/drones was crucial for VSH manifestation.
Honey bee predisposition of resistance to ubiquitous mite infestations
TLDR
The results suggest that the brood pheromone-dependent mite oogenesis is disrupted in resistant hosts, and the identified genetic markers have a considerable potential to contribute to a sustainable global apiculture.
Varroa destructor: how does it harm Apis mellifera honey bees and what can be done about it?
TLDR
This synthetic review of V. destructor biology and its impact on the health of the honey bee, A. mellifera, highlights the main advances made between 2015 and 2020 and places a special focus on new methodological developments, which point to integrated pest management strategies for the control of Varroa in honey bee colonies.
In-depth Proteome of the Hypopharyngeal Glands of Honeybee Workers Reveals Highly Activated Protein and Energy Metabolism in Priming the Secretion of Royal Jelly*
TLDR
This work comprehensively characterized and compared the proteome across the life span of worker bees between the ITBs and RJBs, uncovering distinct molecular landscapes that regulate the gland ontogeny and activity corresponding with age-specific tasks.

Proteome analysis of hemolymph changes during the larval to pupal development stages of honeybee workers (Apis mellifera ligustica).
TLDR
Analysis of the proteome changes of the honeybee hemolymph during the transition from newly hatched larvae to five-day-old pupae provides new evidence that changes in the hemophilia level match the processes during life transitions in the honey bee.
Genome-Wide Association Study of a Varroa-Specific Defense Behavior in Honeybees (Apis mellifera).
TLDR
An Affymetrix 44K SNP array was used to analyze SNPs associated with detection and uncapping of Varroa-parasitized brood by individual worker bees (Apis mellifera) and 6 SNP markers had highly significant associations with the trait investigated, leading to the discovery of putative candidate genes.
Hemolymph proteome changes during worker brood development match the biological divergences between western honey bees (Apis mellifera) and eastern honey bees (Apis cerana)
TLDR
These disparate findings constitute a proof-of-concept of molecular details that the ecologically shaped different physiological conditions of different bee species match with the hemolymph proteome during the brood stage, and provides a starting point for future research on the specific hemologic pathways related to the differential phenotypes or physiology.
Antennae hold a key to Varroa-sensitive hygiene behaviour in honey bees
TLDR
Comparisons with the antennal transcriptome of nurse and forager bees suggest that VSH profile is more similar to that of nurse bees than foragers, and indicates that antennae likely play a key role in the expression of VSH behaviour.
Impact of an ectoparasite on the immunity and pathology of an invertebrate: evidence for host immunosuppression and viral amplification.
TLDR
This work has demonstrated an example of an ectoparasite immunosuppressing its invertebrate host with the evidence that parasitization significantly suppressed expression of these immunity-related genes, indicating that immunOSuppression of hosts may be a common phenomenon in the interaction and coevolution between ectoporasites and their vertebrate and invertebrates.
Correlation of proteome-wide changes with social immunity behaviors provides insight into resistance to the parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, in the honey bee (Apis mellifera)
TLDR
The results provide, for the first time, some insight into how complex behavioural adaptations manifest in the proteome of honey bees, and the most important biochemical correlations provide clues as to the underlying molecular mechanisms of social and innate immunity of bees.
An integrated proteomics reveals pathological mechanism of honeybee (Apis cerena) sacbrood disease.
TLDR
The data, for the first time, comprehensively decipher the molecular underpinnings of the viral infection of the Acc and are potentially helpful for sacbrood disease diagnosis and medicinal development for the prevention of this deadly viral disease.
Social immunity in honeybees (Apis mellifera): transcriptome analysis of varroa‐hygienic behaviour
TLDR
A set of genes involved in social immunity are identified by analysing the brain transcriptome of highly varroa‐hygienic bees, who efficiently detect and remove brood infected with the Varroa destructor mite.
In-depth Proteomics Characterization of Embryogenesis of the Honey Bee Worker (Apis mellifera ligustica) *
TLDR
Novel understanding is added to the molecular details of honey bee embryogenesis, in which the programmed activation of the proteome matches with the physiological transition observed during embryogenesis.
