“…Odor detection is facilitated by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) located below various sensillae 16 . Sensillae types and distribution in honey bee species are well described through Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) studies 17 18 19 . In order to comprehend the neuronal processes fundamental to olfactory learning, biophysical properties such as ion channel activity and calcium ion (Ca 2+ ) in particular have also been reported within the neurons of the olfactory pathway in the honey bee brain 20 21 22 .…”

Little information is available regarding the adverse effects of pesticides on natural honey bee populations. This study highlights the detrimental effects of pesticides on honey bee olfaction through behavioural studies, scanning electron microscopic imaging of antennal sensillae and confocal microscopic studies of honey bee brains for calcium ions on Apis cerana, a native Indian honey bee species. There was a significant decrease in proboscis extension response and biologically active free calcium ions and adverse changes in antennal sensillae in pesticide exposed field honey bee populations compared to morphometrically similar honey bees sampled from low/no pesticide sites. Controlled laboratory experiments corroborated these findings. This study reports for the first time the changes in antennal sensillae, expression of Calpain 1(an important calcium binding protein) and resting state free calcium in brains of honey bees exposed to pesticide stress.Pesticide exposure can have direct effects on individual bees as well as indirect effects on entire colonies 1 and has been cited as one of the potential causes for global honey bee loss through colony collapse disorder 2,3

“…The numbers of each sensilla organ type were counted at fixed-size areas (70x60 µm) over four different flagellomeres (2 nd , 3 rd , 9 th & 10 th ), calculated and expressed as the mean numbers and mean measurements (Gupta, 1992;Naik et al, 1995 andStort &Rebustini, 1998). The mean surface areas (µm 2 ) were determined according to formula of Maurizio (1954).…”

Keywords:Ultrastructure -antennae -stinghoney bee workers Ultrastructure of antennae and sting of the honey bee workers in three subspecies of Apis mellifera; Egyptian A. m. lamarckii, Carniolan A. m. carnica and Italian A. m. ligustica was investigated. Twelve types of sensilla were recorded on the worker antennae; placodea, basiconica, trichodea types (A, B, C and D), ampullaceal, coeloconica, coelococapitular, non-innervated hair seta, campaniformia and sensilla chaetica. The latter is recorded for the first time on antennae of A. mellifera. The number and distribution of the various types of sensilla are recorded. Sensilla trichodea were found most frequently and were present on all the antennal segments. Sensilla placodea were present on the distal eight flagellomeres. Sensilla ampullaceal and sensilla coeloconica were present on the distal five while sensilla campaniformia were confined to the distal seven flagellomeres. The barbs carried on the lancets of sting differ in numbers among the workers of the three subspecies; 10, 9 and 7 in A. m. lamarckii, A. m. carnica and A. m. ligustica, respectively. Depending on morphometrical analysis, a dendrogram separated the Egyptian subspecies from the other two subspecies with a highly genetic distance of 0.25 between them. The Italian and the Carniolan subspecies were grouped into one main cluster with a genetic distance of 0.01 between them.
