The Honeybee Disease American Foulbrood — An African Perspective [PDF]

open access: yesAfrican 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 ...

Osmia cornuta Is a More Suitable Managed Pollinator for Cherry and Apple Orchards Than Osmia bicornis

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 524-535, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Managed crop pollination strongly relies on the honeybee Apis mellifera and the bumblebee Bombus terrestris, which is risky, may impact wild pollinator communities and does not always give the best pollination outcomes. The mason bees Osmia cornuta and Osmia bicornis are increasingly used as alternative crop pollinators, but it is not clear ...

Pathogen and Hemocyte Dynamics in Three Apiaries Across a Bee Season

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Honey bees are dying due to a disease complex consisting of viruses, parasites, chemicals, nutritional deficiencies, and management problems. In the present study, pathogens and hemocytes were analyzed in honey bee hemolymph samples using third‐generation sequencing and flow cytometry in three apiaries over a honey bee season. Using nanopore sequencing,
