Abstract

The 2019 American Bee Research Conference (ABRC) was held January 10-12, 2019 in conjunction with the annual convention of the American Honey Producers Association in Tempe, AZ. Over the three-day conference, a total of 45 oral presentations and 13 poster presentations were given, representing work done from over 27 institutions and 34 different research groups from throughout the United States and Canada. This proceedings contains and overview of the conference and the submitted abstracts for presentations given at the 2018 American Bee Research Conference.

Keywords: American Association of Professional Apiculturists; Apis mellifera; apiculture; honey bee biology.

The figure represents a total ion chromatograph of a representative sterol standard mix (75 μm). The sterol peaks identified are as follows: (a) desmosterol; (b) ergosterol; (c) 24-methylenecholesterol; (d) stigmasterol; (e) brassicasterol; (f) Δ5-avenasterol; (g) cholesterol; (h) campesterol; (i) β-sitosterol; (j) campestanol and (k) sitostanol.
