Unique brood ester profile in a Varroa destructor resistant population of European honey bee (Apis mellifera)

https://doi.org/10.5878/h2hc-h513
Data of chemical compounds extracted from honey bee (Apis mellifera) brood in a varroa resistant and varroa susceptible population. Samples were taken 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 hours after brood capping by immersing pupae in pentane for 10 minutes. 6 hives from each population were used, and 3 replicates were taken per hive per time point. The FAME column was calculated by adding Methyl Palmitate, Linoloate, and Stearate together, while the FAEE columb was calculateed by adding Ethyl Palmitate, Linoloate, and Stearate together. Samples were analyzed using gas chromatography. R version 4.4.0 and RStudio version 1.4.1.748 were used to analyze the data. All packages and their version is listed in the attached R script.

Mode of collection:

Physical measurements and tests

Description of the mode of collection:

Pupae at pre-designated times (0, 6, 12, 18, 36 hours after brood capping) were removed and submerged in n-pentane for 10 minutes to remove voltile and semi-voltile compounds from the cuticular. These compounds were analysed using gas chromatography. Full description of methods available in manuscript.

Sample

Name:

Brood cuticular compounds

Description of sample:

Cuticular compounds extracted from Apis mellifera pupae in n-pentane

Instrument

Name:

Gas Chromatography

Description of the instrument:

A machine that vaporizes compounds, which flows along a long tube, with different chemicals in the compound reaching a sensor at different times. By comparing to documented times it takes a chemical to reach the sensor, chemicals can be quantified
