2017 journal article

Levels of selection shaping caste interactions during queen replacement in the honey bee, Apis mellifera

INSECTES SOCIAUX, 64(2), 227–240.

By: K. Long *, T. Cao*, J. Keller n, D. Tarpy n , M. Shin* & S. Schneider*

author keywords: Caste interactions; Vibration signal; Queen replacement; Kin selection; Colony level selection
TL;DR: The outcome of queen replacement in honey bees may be determined primarily by a combination of a queen’s inherent fighting ability coupled with the rate at which she receives some interactions (particularly vibration signals) from workers. (via Semantic Scholar)

2012 journal article

The effects of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) queen reproductive potential on colony growth

INSECTES SOCIAUX, 60(1), 65–73.

By: J. Rangel  n, J. Keller n & D. Tarpy n 

author keywords: Apis mellifera; Colony growth; Expanded phenotype; Honey bees; Reproduction; Queen quality
TL;DR: The present study supports the idea that a honey bee colony can be viewed (at least in part) as the expanded phenotype of its queen, and thus selection acting predominantly at the colony level can be congruent with that at the individual level. (via Semantic Scholar)

2011 journal article

Experimentally induced variation in the physical reproductive potential and mating success in honey bee queens

INSECTES SOCIAUX, 58(4), 569–574.

By: D. Tarpy n , J. Keller n, J. Caren n & D. Delaney *

author keywords: Honey bees; Queen reproductive quality; Mating behavior
TL;DR: It is shown, for the first time, that low-quality queens mate with significantly fewer males, which significantly influences the resultant intracolony genetic diversity of the worker force of their future colonies. (via Semantic Scholar)

2010 journal article

The physical, insemination, and reproductive quality of honey bee queens (Apis mellifera L.)

APIDOLOGIE, 42(1), 1–13.

By: D. Delaney n, J. Keller n, J. Caren n & D. Tarpy n 

author keywords: honey bee queens; reproductive potential; insemination; parasitism; effective mating frequency
TL;DR: Significant variation is found in the physical, insemination, and mating quality of commercially produced queens, and significant correlations are detected within and among these various measures. (via Semantic Scholar)

2007 journal article

Comparison of parasitic mites in Russian-Hybrid and Italian honey bee (Hymenoptera : Apidae) colonies across three different locations in north Carolina

JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 100(2), 258–266.

By: D. Tarpy n , J. Summers n & J. Keller n

author keywords: honey bees; Russian stock; varroa mite; tracheal mite; integrative pest management
TL;DR: Beekeepers may benefit by incorporating commercially purchased mite-tolerant stocks into their existing integrated pest management programs, and statistically significant differences between the stocks in varroa mite intensity and daily mite drop are found. (via Semantic Scholar)
