RESEARCH PROJECT PROPOSAL: Comparing differential gene expression of the European honey bee Apis mellifera and the Asian honey bee Apis Cerana when infected with Varroa destructor SCIENTIFIC ABSTRACT: The European honey bee Apis mellifera is in serious decline as colonies worldwide are wiped out by the Varroa mite, Varroa destructor.
