Living with the Africanized bee: Sinaloan beekeepers adapt pollination to Africanized bees
California Agriculture, 1996 Africanized honeybees have become well established in Sinaloa, Mexico, which has large-scale agriculture similar to California's. Beekeepers in Sinaloa have adapted their management practices to continue to provide pollination of crops.

An Inventory of Documented Diseases of African Honeybees [PDF]
African Entomology, 2014 Current trends in global honeybee population changes have been linked to drastic declines in honeybee populations caused by complex interactions between pathogens, arthropod pests such as Varroa, pesticides, honeybee stress and habitat loss. Although substantial information exists for this sudden decline in honeybee populations in Europe and North ...

Genomewide analysis of admixture and adaptation in the Africanized honeybee [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2017 AbstractGenetic exchange by hybridization or admixture can make an important contribution to evolution, and introgression of favourable alleles can facilitate adaptation to new environments. A small number of honeybees (Apis mellifera) with African ancestry were introduced to Brazil ~60 years ago, which dispersed and hybridized with existing managed ...

Variation in honey bee gut microbial diversity affected by ontogenetic stage, age and geographic location [PDF]
, 2015 Social honey bees, Apis mellifera, host a set of distinct microbiota, which is similar across the continents and various honey bee species. Some of these bacteria, such as lactobacilli, have been linked to immunity and defence against pathogens. Pathogen

Range and Frequency of Africanized Honey Bees in California (USA). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Africanized honey bees entered California in 1994 but few accounts of their northward expansion or their frequency relative to European honey bees have been published. We used mitochondrial markers and morphometric analyses to determine the prevalence of

Africanized honeybee stings: how to treat them [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2011 INTRODUCTION: In 1956, Africanized honeybees (AHB) migrated from Brazil to other regions of the Western Hemisphere, including South, Central, and North America, except for Canada. Despite being productive, they are highly aggressive and cause fatal accidents.

The Honeybee Disease American Foulbrood — An African Perspective [PDF]
African Entomology, 2011 Sustaining apiculture worldwide has been threatened by bee diseases and unexplained colony losses. African honeybee populations seem healthier and no major losses have been reported despite the presence of all the major pests and diseases. The scattered colonies in the large wild population of the continent might ensure slow pathogen spread and thus ...
