Project description:The Varroa mite represents the main threat of honey bees (Apis mellifera). Bees from some colonies can limit the proliferation of this parasite by detecting and removing parasitized brood, such behavior is defined as Varroa sensitive Hygiene (VSH). This is an important issue for selecting colonies that can survive Varroa outbreaks. We therefore study the molecular meachnisms underlying this behavior by comparing the antennae transcriptomic profile of VSH and non-VSH bees. Those profiles were further compared to to the profiles of nurses and forager profiles involved in brood care and food collection, respectively.

Project description:To study the underlying molecular mechanisms during the Varroa destructor life cycle, we carried out transcriptomic profiling of seven stages: young mites (collected from P8 to P9 brood cells), phoretic mites (collected on adult bees), arresting mites (collected in unsealed L5 brood cells), pre-laying mites (collected from sealed brood cells containing moving larva), laying mites (collected from sealed brood cells containing pre-pupae), post-laying mites (collected from capped brood cells containing purple-eye and white-body pupae P5), emerging mites (collected from P8 to P9 brood cells). In addition, we sampled non-reproducing mites (collected from P5 brood cells, but without offspring), males (collected from P8 to P9 brood cells), and phoretic mites artificially reared in cages with adult bees. This study was performed using Apis mellifera L. honey bee colonies naturally infested by Varroa destructor mites. Adult mites were collected from 4 unrelated colonies.

Project description:This experiment was designed to identify gene expression differences in young bees raised in colonies with a queen, with queen mandibular pheromone (QMP), or without a queen. The source colony was split into three colonies, allocating roughly equal quantities of adult bees, brood, and pollen and nectar stores. One colony retained the original queen (QR), one was left queenless (QL), and the third was given a strip that contained 10 Qeq (QMP+), a dose shown to mimic a live queen (20). The three colonies were transferred to a different apiary > 2 mi away so they would not return to the site of their natal hive. Prior to the colony split, bees (N ~1500) were collected 0-36 h after eclosion, marked on the dorsal thorax with a paint dot (Testors Paint), and ~500 were placed in each of the three colonies. Two days later, the marked bees were collected (N = 100). Bees were collected into liquid nitrogen, and heads were stored as above.

Project description:Responses to social cues, such as pheromones, can be modified by genotype, physiology, or environmental context. Honey bee queens produce a pheromone (queen mandibular pheromone; QMP) which regulates many aspects of worker bee behavior and physiology. Forager honey bees are less responsive to QMP than young nurse bees engaged in brood care, suggesting that physiological changes associated with behavioral maturation may modulate response to this pheromone. Since cGMP is a major regulator of behavioral maturation in honey bee workers, we examined its role in modulating worker responses to QMP. Treatment with a cGMP analog, 8-Br-cGMP, resulted in significant reductions in both behavioral and physiological responses to QMP in young caged workers. Treatment significantly reduced attraction to QMP (the retinue response) and inhibited the QMP-mediated increase in vitellogenin levels in the fat bodies of worker bees. Genome-wide analysis of brain gene expression patterns demonstrated that cGMP has a larger effect on expression levels than QMP, and that QMP has specific effects in the presence of cGMP, suggesting that some responses to QMP may be dependent on an individual beesM-^R physiological state. Several functional gene categories were significantly differentially expressed, including genes involved in regulating GTPase activity, phototransduction, immunity, and carboxylic acid transmembrane transporter activity. Overall, our data suggest that cGMP-mediated processes play a large role in modulating responses to queen pheromone in honey bees, at the behavioral, physiological and molecular levels.

Project description:The microsporidia Nosema ceranae are intracellular parasites that proliferate in the midgut epithelial cells of honey bees (Apis mellifera). To analyze the pathological effects of those microsporidia, we orally infected honey bee workers 7 days after their emergence. Bees were flash frozen 15 days after the infection. Then, the effects on the gut ventriculi were analyzed and compared to non-infected (control) bees.

Project description:There were important gaps in our knowledge of Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV), when IAPV was tightly linked to bee Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), the mysterious disease that, starting in 2006-2007, has been wiping out honey bees in the US. To fill in these gaps we studied the molecular basis of transmission, pathogenesis, and genetic diversity of IAPV infection in honey bees. We investigated the impact of IAPV infection on colony losses and host transcriptional response to IAPV infections, and exploited the potential of RNAi-based strategies for treating viral diseases in honey bees. Our study clearly shows that IAPV has become established as a persistent infection and is highly prevalent in the honey bee population. The existence of both horizontal and vertical transmission pathways of the virus likely accounts for the high prevalence of IAPV in bees. While IAPV is probably not the only culprit responsible for CCD, its ability to cause increased mortality in honey bees is firmly demonstrated. The phenotypic differences in pathology among different strains of IAPV may be due to their high level of standing genetic variation. The JAK-STAT pathway, along with other signaling events such as mTOR and MAPK pathways, likely involves honey bees’ antiviral immune responses to the IAPV infection. The identification of IAPV-encoded putative suppressor of RNAi and evidence that silencing the RNAi suppressor led to a significant reduction in IAPV replication in infected bees illustrates the therapeutic potential of targeting viral suppressor protein to reduce virus replication. Our study gives direction for developing strategies to reduce colony losses due to viral diseases. Adult worker bees and brood were collected from colonies that were declining and identified with IAPV infections and its control with 6 replications per group.
