Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The honey bee (Apis mellifera) plays an important role in agriculture and ecosystem function. Understanding honey bee genetics and physiology is the first step toward protecting this important species from a variety of threats, including pesticides, electromagnetic fields, introduced parasites and pathogens, nutrition, introgressive hybridization, and climate change. Different threats may affect honey bees in different ways, including changes in physiology, as well as gene expression. This Special Issue (SI) welcomes manuscripts that use genetics and/or physiology to understand the status of honey bee populations, as well as the impact of various threats on honey bee populations.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
