Description
Summary:The work studies thresholds of sensitivity in the honeybee Apis mellifera in connection with action of different periods of starvation on biochemical and cellular parameters of protective reactions. Intraspecies differences are shown during additional action of a bacterial preparation at the physiological level. An importance of the hidden (latent) phase for the insects is evaluated in manifestation of the general adaptive syndrome, which precedes the phase of anxiety development. The intraspecies peculiarities of response of protective systems in the honeybee consist not only in the activity level of physiological processes, but also in the rate of overcoming the sensitivity threshold to pathogen.
