Royal jelly production with queens produced by single and double grafting in Africanized honeybee colonies

Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2019
The objective of this research was to evaluate royal jelly production from Africanized honeybee queens of different lineages (lineage selected for honey production, lineage selected for royal jelly production and unselected) produced by single and double

Socio‐psychological determinants of beekeeper conflict with bee‐eaters

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study investigates factors influencing beekeepers’ use of lethal control against native bee‐eaters in Iran using the theory of planned behavior. Experience, social norms, intentions, and economic dependence significantly predicted using lethal control methods.

Analysis of Mortality in Africanized Honey Bee Colonies with High Levels of Infestation by Varroa destructor

Sociobiology, 2014
The mite Varroa destructor (Anderson & Treuman 2000) is one of the world’s most important plagues of apiculture. In Brazil this mite does not encounter good conditions for parasitism because weather conditions are not ideal for its maintenance, and some ...

Detecting a Small Hive Beetle's eDNA in Honeybee Colonies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early detection is important to limit the spread of invasive species. Molecular diagnosis using eDNA can be useful in this regard, but the sensitivity is often unknown. This holds true for small hive beetles (SHB), which are parasites of honeybee (HB) colonies and continue to spread globally.

Electrophysiologic and behavioral responses mediated by volatiles involved in the repellency of Apis mellifera (Lepeletier) (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

EntomoBrasilis, 2020
Repellent volatiles to insects might be an important tool for management of bees in areas which the presence of these organisms is not required. This study aimed to evaluate the electroantennal and behavioral responses of Africanized honeybees (workers),

DNA differences found between Africanized and European honeybees. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1986
The harmful en masse introduction of Africanized honeybees into the United States will occur within 5 years. Possible means of control are dependent on a reliable way to distinguish the Africanized bees from the extant European bees. Current means of identification are inadequate.

Evaluating Electric Harps and Muzzles to Mitigate the Impact of Vespa velutina nigrithorax at Beehives

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) poses a significant threat to the beekeeping industry. Using an experimental apiary of 36 hives, we simultaneously evaluated the effectiveness of two mitigation measures—muzzles and electric harps—in reducing the impact of Asian hornets on honey bee colonies.

An Inventory of Documented Diseases of African Honeybees

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 ...

Potential Distribution of Linepithema humile (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in South Korea: An Ensemble Species Distribution Modeling Approach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) was first discovered in Korea in Busan in 2019. Due to a lack of occurrence data, its distribution in Korea remains difficult to predict. This study constructed a single and ensemble model based on BIOMOD2 using occurrence data and environmental variables from South and North America and projected it to Korea. The
