Africanized Honey Bees and Agromedicine

Journal of Agromedicine, 1995
Worldwide, honey bees are integral to agriculture because they are the most plentiful and often the most efficient pollinators of crops. Maintaining commercial populations of pollinating honey bees is vital to US agriculture. However, beekeeping is beset with many problems, including those arising from accidental importation of parasitic mites and the ...

The Africanized honey bee dispersal: a mathematical zoom

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2005
A general mathematical model for population dispersal featuring long range taxis is presented and exemplified by the dispersal episode of the Africanized honey bees (Apis mellifera adansonii) throughout the American Continent. The mathematical model is a discrete-time and nonlocal model represented by an integrodifference recursion. A new taxis concept

Territoriality and the Africanized honey bee

Bee World, 1999
Unlike domesticated European honey bees, Africanized honey bee (AHB) colonies can be extremely defensive. Extremely defensive colonies appear to practice territorial defence wherein members of the colony aggressively patrol and defend territories that extend well beyond the nest entrance.

Female parasitism of European honey bees by Africanized honey bee swarms in Mexico

Journal of Apicultural Research, 1993
SUMMARYFemale reproductive parasitism, or queen usurpation, was observed in honey bee colonies maintained in the Gulf coastal plain of Mexico between November 1987 and October 1990. Fifty-one of the European honey bee colonies managed during this study were invaded by Africanized honey bee swarms in two of three apiary monitoring lines, with annual ...

Identification and Certification of Africanized Honey Bees

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1985
We investigate via computer simulation the effectiveness of regulating the process of Africanization of commercial honey bee populations in North America following the establishment of an Africanized feral population. Our results show that regulatory programs designed with the specific objective of identification and certification of non-Africanized ...

AFRICANIZED HONEY BEES FOUND IN ARIZONA

Pediatrics, 1994
Washington, DC, July 13, 1993—Africanized honey bees have been found in Arizona, the second state where the "killer bees" have migrated into this country, according to the Agriculture Department. A swarm was found in a state Department of Agriculture trap 2 miles north of Sasabe, AZ. The bees were destroyed. The fierce and

The Biology And Management Of Africanized Honey Bees

Annual Review of Entomology, 1992
The introduction of African honey bees (Apis mellifera scutellata) to South America in 1956 resulted in one of the most astounding success stories in the history of introduced insect species. The descendants of these bees have spread at an unprecedented speed, and their populations have grown rapidly to high densities throughout their range.

Taxonomy based on chemical constitution: Differentiation of Africanized honey‐bees from European honey‐bees

Journal of Chemometrics, 1988
AbstractGas chromatography and pattern recognition methods have been used to develop a potential method for differentiating between European and Africanized honey‐bees based on chemical constitution. 243 European, African and Africanized honey‐bees were characterized by 40‐peak GCs of cuticular hydrocarbon extracts.
