Abstract Many organisms undergo extreme physiological and behavioral changes that dictate their responses to different stimuli during their life cycle. Bumble bees (Bombus sp.) display an annual life cycle, in which the virgin gynes emerge, disperse, mate, and undergo several months of winter diapause before establishing new colonies in the spring. CO2 narcosis induces a direct transition from mating to reproduction, thus diapause can be bypassed. The mechanism underlying the response to CO2 narcosis remains unclear. Here, we used Bombus terrestris gynes in different reproductive statuses (virgin, mated, and post-diapause) to examine the effect of CO2 narcosis on ovarian development, body mass, protein uptake, and metabolic rate. We found that the impact of CO2 narcosis on gynes was inhibited by mating, with virgin gynes showing the strongest effect of CO2 narcosis on ovary activation and protein turnover. We show that mating inhibits the effect of CO2 narcosis prior to the diapause period, suggesting that this effect is upstream to that of CO2 narcosis.

Abstract Multiple viral infections are one of the main drivers of honey bee colony losses and threaten the sustainability of colony health. The Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV) is one of the common honey bee viruses that can induce overt and/or covert infections in bee colonies. Globally more knowledge is needed about its effects leading to colony losses. ABPV-related pathology includes paralytic, trembling bees, unable to fly and, in some cases, ABPV causes the death of the bee colonies. The molecular phylogenetic of ABPV isolates obtained from apiaries suffering colony losses and/or with CCD-like complaints in Türkiye was performed in this study. The isolates’ structural and non-structural gene regions were analyzed phylogenetically and compared according to sampling years and apiaries. According to the results, the nucleotide identity of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene in Turkish ABPV field isolates is more conserved than the capsid gene. The evaluation of molecular differentiation among the ABPV field isolates can be used for determining the origin and relatedness of ABPV strains and periodic monitoring of ABPV infections in apiaries.
