Late Winter Foraging by Honeybees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) at Sapsucker Drill Holes [PDF]
Observations of Apis mellifera foraging at sapsucker drill holes were made during February 1988 in southwestern Virginia. Foraging bouts were dependent upon temperature; more bees visited drill holes when ambient temperatures exceeded 10oC. Honeybees did

Diseases of Honeybee (Apis mellifera)
Honeybees, important pollinators crucial for ecosystem health, are susceptible to a range of bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases that pose significant threats to their colonies. Bacterial diseases include American Foulbrood (AFB) caused by Paenibacillus larvae and European Foulbrood (EFB) caused by Melissococcus plutonius. AFB results in the death of
