Abstract: Proteomics is one of the most important biotechnologies in post-genomic era. The advances of proteomics are driven by the fast development of technologies related to chromatography with ultrahigh pressure and mass spectrometry with high resolution and high sensitivity. It now becomes a public research platform to delineate mechanism of the important biological characteristics of the honeybees, and to identify previously unknown protein components in bee-products. This new technology has made great contribution to scientific innovation for beekeeping industry of China. We review the latest advances in honeybee proteomics research around the global in order to promote development of honeybee biology and beekeeping industry of China.

Key words: honeybee biology, bee-products, proteomics
