Phage Therapy Against Foulbrood Disease in Honey Bees

, 2022
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are the most important pollinator species in agriculture. The pollination performed by managed honey bees is essential to meet food production requirements.

Understanding bacterial pathogen diversity: A proteogenomic analysis and use of an array of genome assemblies to identify novel virulence factors of the honey bee bacterial pathogen Paenibacillus larvae

PROTEOMICS, Volume 24, Issue 14, July 2024.
Abstract Mass spectrometry proteomics data are typically evaluated against publicly available annotated sequences, but the proteogenomics approach is a useful alternative. A single genome is commonly utilized in custom proteomic and proteogenomic data analysis.

Control of American foulbrood

, 1950
Of all the diseases that attack the honeybee, the most destructive is American foulbrood. This disease attacks the developing bee— the “brood.” American foulbrood has been known for centuries. But even so, it continues to kill bees. Many beekeepers don’t

Mite non‐reproduction is not a consequence of the brood removal behavior of varroa sensitive hygiene honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.
The specialized hygienic behavior of selected honey bees, called varroa sensitive hygiene (VSH), was thought to cause high levels of non‐reproductive mites. To further investigate this link, we used the experimental setup and data sets from a four‐year selection project designed to breed mite non‐reproduction (MNR) and VSH colonies.

Microbiome and floral associations of a wild bee using biodiversity survey collections

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 6, June 2024.
The core microbiome of the bicoloured sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens, is described for the first time using pinned museum specimens. Collection method and geographic variation in microbial and plant diversity are also characterised. Ongoing wild bee surveys have potential to reveal hidden stressors underpinning bee health and dietary breadth ...

Infection of drone larvae (Apis mellifera) with American foulbrood

, 2007
In-vitro reared drone larvae of several sister queens from an Apis mellifera ligustica and a Buckfast breeding line were infected with Paenibacillus larvae (type strain ATCC 9545) causing American foulbrood (AFB).

How Science Supports Honey Bees: Identification of Research on Best Practices in Beekeeping

Insects
Honey bee health and productivity are strongly linked to management practices and biosecurity measures. We collected and analyzed 744 practice records from 191 peer-reviewed field studies published since 1995, each documenting the impact of a specific ...

Hyperspectral application for early diagnosis of American foulbrood disease in the honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) larvae

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, 2019
Non-destructive methods are of utmost importance for early diagnosis of American foulbrood (AFB) disease in honeybees’ larvae. This study discusses the potential application of spectroradiometric techniques for spectral discrimination of AFB disease in ...
