Honey bee foraging distance depends on month and forage type [PDF]

, 2015
To investigate the distances at which honey bee foragers collect nectar and pollen, we analysed 5,484 decoded waggle dances made to natural forage sites to determine monthly foraging distance for each forage type.

HERITABILITY OF STING CHARACTERS IN AFRICANIZED HONEYBEES

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins, 1997
In this paper we proposed to estimate the heritability of seven morphological characters that compose the sting apparatus of the Africanized honeybee workers. An experimental design to estimate genetic parameters was based on the method developed by Oldroyd and Moran(9).

Oldest Varroa tolerant honey bee population provides insight into the origins of the global decline of honey bees [PDF]

, 2017
The ecto-parasitic mite Varroa destructor has transformed the previously inconsequential Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) into the most important honey bee viral pathogen responsible for the death of millions of colonies worldwide.

Control agents on the quality of Africanized honeybee queens

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2020
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, used in large field crops, and of the pomegranate Punica granatum aqueous extract, with insecticidal potential for insect control, on the quality of Africanized Apis mellifera queens.
