Albert Cardona<a href="https://ecoevo.social/@entsocamerica" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@entsocamerica</a> Interesting:"Varroa mites originally evolved to parasitize Apis cerana, the honey bee species native to Asia, and only affected drones of that species. When Varroa mites infect worker brood in Asian bees, the larva dies and the Varroa mite can’t reproduce.""As they adapted to the honey bees (Apis mellifera) common in Europe and North America, however, Varroa mites became able to parasitize drone, queen, or worker bees. However, there is a still a large preference for drone brood. Varroa mites are often 5–10 times more abundant in drone brood cells than worker or queen cells. Since drones take longer to mature into adults and the drone brood are bigger, the Varroa mites can produce more offspring in these cells. By removing excess drone brood, a beekeeper can eliminate a large portion of their Varroa mite population."<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/honeybees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#honeybees</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Varroa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Varroa</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/mites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mites</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/BeeKeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BeeKeeping</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Hymenoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hymenoptera</a>

Entomological Soc. of AmericaNew on Entomology Today: In honey bee hives, drone brood is often discarded because the male bees sap resources. However, a new study suggests drone brood can be recycled into flour patties rich with protein, fats, and essential minerals that can be fed back to the rest of the hive as a pollen substitute. <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#entomology</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#insects</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/HoneyBees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HoneyBees</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/beekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#beekeeping</a> <a href="https://entomologytoday.org/2025/03/24/honey-bees-drone-brood-recycling-flour-patties-pollen-substitute/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://entomologytoday.org/2025/03/24/honey-bees-drone-brood-recycling-flour-patties-pollen-substitute/</a>
