• Standard methods for rearing and selection of Apis mellifera queens (2013, methodology): “The spermathecae of mated queens can be dissected (see the BEEBOOK paper on anatomy and dissection of the honey bee (Carreck et al., 2013)); to estimate the number of stored spermatozoa see the BEEBOOK paper on miscellaneous research methods (Human et al., 2013).”
• Standard methods for Nosema research (2013, background): “DNA extraction can be performed from specific tissue (e.g. ventriculus, rectum, fat body), subdivided bee sections (e.g. metasoma), whole bees, or homogenates from pooled samples (see the BEEBOOK paper on bee anatomy and dissection (Carreck et al., 2013)).”
• Standard methods for research on Apis mellifera gut symbionts (2013, background): “The tissue should be dissected (see Carreck et al., 2013) in an isotonic solution, such as phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or Insect Ringer’s solution, before being fixed, as this will facilitate the infiltration of reagents into tissue later.”
