Functional annotation for 15 diverse arthropod genomes
We present the annotation results of 15 arthropod proteomes using an open source, open access and containerized pipeline for genome-scale functional annotation of insect proteomes and apply it to a diverse range of arthropod species.
Data from: Long-Distance Transportation Causes Temperature Stress in the Honey Bee, Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
To test how temperature may contribute to bee (*Apis mellifera*) transportation stress, temperature sensors were placed in hives in different locations and orientations on the trailer during shipping. Colony size prior to shipping significantly contributed to loss of population immediately after shipping which contributed to colony failure with smaller colonies more likely to fail and fail faster. Colony size also affects thermoregulation and temperature stress.
Data from: Genome of the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida, Coleoptera: Nitidulidae), a worldwide parasite of social bee colonies, provides insights into detoxification and herbivory
The small hive beetle (Aethina tumida, ATUMI) is an invasive parasite of bee colonies. ATUMI feeds on both fruits and bee nest products, facilitating its spread and increasing its impact on honey bees and other pollinators. The ATUMI genome has been sequenced and annotated, providing the first genomic resources for this species and for the Nitidulidae.
Data from: How Hives Collapse: Allee Effects, Ecological Resilience, and the Honey Bee
A mathematical model is constructed to quantify the loss of resilience in collapsing honey bee colonies due to the presence of a strong Allee effect. In the model, recruitment and mortality of adult bees have substantial social components, with recruitment enhanced and mortality reduced by additional adult bee numbers.

HoloBee Database v2016.1
To improve the accuracy and consistency of honey bee holobiont research, we have developed HoloBee: a curated database of publicly accessioned nucleotide sequences from the honey bee holobiont community. Except in rare and noted exceptions made by curators, sequences used in HoloBee were obtained from, or in association with, *Apis mellifera* (Western honey bee) as well as other honey bee species where available (e.g. *Apis cerana*, *Apis dorsata*, *Apis laboriosa*, *Apis koschevnikovi*, *Apis florea*, *Apis andreniformis* and *Apis nigrocincta*). Sources include: within or on the surface of honey bees (adult, pupae, larvae, egg), corbicular pollen, bee bread, royal jelly, honey, comb, hive surfaces (e.g. bottom board debris, frames, landing platforms), and isolates of microbes, parasites and pathogens from honey bees. HoloBee contains two non-overlapping sets of sequence data, HoloBee-Barcode and HoloBee-Mop, each of which have distinct intended uses.
Data from: Genomic survey of the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor, a major pest of the honey bee Apis mellifera
These data represent V. destructor genomic annotations to be used for evolutionary comparison with other arthropods.

Data from: Pathogen webs in collapsing honey bee colonies
What is the role of pathogens in Honey Bee Colony Collapse Disorder? Deep RNA sequencing was used to study microbial diversity and seek answers.
