• Weeds for bees? A review (2015, background): “Honeybees only store tiny quantities of pollen in the colony because it deteriorates rapidly (Pernal and Currie 2000).”
• Standard methods for maintaining adult Apis mellifera in cages under in vitro laboratory conditions (2013, methodology): “…source and type of protein (i.e. protein content and amino acid composition) can significantly influence honey bee development, longevity, and immunity (e.g. Haydak, 1970; Pernal and Currie, 2000; Brodschneider and Crailsheim, 2010; DeGrandi-Hoffman et al., 2010; Alaux et al., 2011a).”
• Consequences of a nectar yeast for pollinator preference and performance (2017, background): “Measuring offspring production and quality (size) allowed us to assess protein assimilation and caloric intake (Simpson & Raubenheimer 1995; Pernal & Currie 2000; Manson & Thomson 2009).”
• Influence of different pollen diets on the development of hypopharyngeal glands and size of acid gland sacs in caged honey bees (Apis mellifera) (2017, methodology): “For this calculation, the percentage of evaporation was subtracted from the recorded amount of the protein diet consumed (Pernal and Currie 2000; Williams et al. 2013).”
• The effect of pollen protein concentration on body size in the sweat bee Lasioglossum zephyrum (Hymenoptera: Apiformes) (2004, background): “Stored pollen loses some of its attractiveness and nutritional content for honey bees under some conditions (reviewed in Herbert, 1992, see Pernal and Currie, 2000; Fernandes da Silva and Serrao, 2000).”
• Influence of Pollen Nutrition on Honey Bee Health: Do Pollen Quality and Diversity Matter? (2013, background): “This tends to confirm previous studies that showed that the hypopharyngeal gland development is linked to the level of proteins in the diet [29,31].”
• Bee Food: The Chemistry and Nutritional Value of Nectar, Pollen and Mixtures of the Two (2011, background): “Sunflower pollen is considered to be of poor quality for bees because of its low protein content of 13–15% after collection by bees (Pernal & Currie 2000; Somerville & Nicol 2006; S.W. Nicolson & H. Human, unpubl. data).”
• Diet effects on honeybee immunocompetence (2010, background): “…essential amino acids for their development (de Groot 1953), can influence longevity, the development of hypopharyngeal glands (HPG) and ovaries (Pernal & Currie 2000) and the susceptibility to pathogens (Rinderer et al. 1974; Rinderer & Elliott 1977); but to what extent pollen can affect IC is…”
