Uncovering Markers for Honey Production and Defensive Behaviour Using Pooled Genome-Wide Data with the Honeybee (Apis Mellifera)
The honeybee (Apis mellifera) has been an important insect for both the study of social insect behaviour and agriculture. Honey production and defensive behaviour are honeybees two notable and economically valuable traits. Here we perform a genome-wide association study on 925 honeybee colonies …

HONEY BEES, BIODIVERSITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital pollinators for both natural ecosystems and agricultural productivity. However, their populations are threatened by factors such as habitat loss, pathogens, climate change, and the genetic risks associated with selective breeding. This thesis explores the …

Elucidating the molecular basis of dihydroxyacetone (DHA) production in Leptospermum nectar
… compound underpinning the high value of mānuka honey and forming the basis of the Aotearoa-New Zealand honey industry. This trait is unique to some species within the Myrtaceae. The molecular basis of this high-value trait is unknown and identifying it would allow development of gene-based tools …

Understanding the role and impact of introduced honey bees in a submontane indigenous forest ecosystem
… of native ecosystems are less easy to discern. Honey bees (Apis mellifera) have a suite of potential impacts, both positive and negative, on native plants and flower visitors in native ecosystems. This research aimed to investigate the impact of managed introductions of Apis mellifera in native …

CHARACTERIZATION OF AGROBIODIVERSITY PRODUCTS FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF MARGINAL AND MOUNTAIN ENVIRONMENTS
… The pristine habitats are spaces to enhance the production of high-quality food, agricultural products and non-timber goods (as spices or medicinal plants). Very often agrifood products turn into a gastronomic portrayal of landscapes, as in the case of honey, that is also a useful tool to monitor …

BEES, HONEY AND TERRITORY: A COMPLEX NETWORK OF INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LANDSCAPE, BEEKEEPING AND HONEY QUALITY
… central role in pollination pro-cesses and the production of numerous hive products. The genus Apis and the tribe Meliponini, which includes stingless bees, are fundamental components of natural and agricultural systems. Through pollination, they contribute to main-taining plant biodiversity and …
