PCR-based detection of Acarapis mites in Iranian honey bee Apis mellifera meda (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Plant ProtectionAcarapis mites are one of the world’s most important honey bee pests. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene to investigate the infestation of Iranian honey bee Apis mellifera meda populations ...

New contributions to the knowledge of honey bee (Apis Mellifera) pests
Sustainable use and protection of animal world in the context of climate change, 2021 The paper aimed to identify the pest complex facing Apis mellifera, in autumn and winter, based on an apiary in Tomai, Leova district. In the presence of pests, 60 bee families were checked during the sanitation and feeding work of the bees, between April and May.

Pest status and incidence of the honey bee tracheal mite in Finland
Agricultural and Food Science, 1998 Colonies of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) were surveyed for the presence of the honey bee tracheal mite (Acarapis woodi Rennie) in Finland between 1991 and 1997. Colony background information and winter loss data were obtained from beekeepers who had taken tracheal mite infested samples.

Enhancing Bee Mite Detection with YOLO: The Role of Data Augmentation and Stratified Sampling
AgricultureBeekeeping is facing a serious crisis due to climate change and diseases such as bee mites (Varroa destructor), which have led to declining populations, collapsing colonies, and reduced beekeeping productivity. Bee mites are small, reddish-brown in color,

The effect of pathogens and pests on honey bee gene expression
, 2008 The effect of pathogens and pests on honey bee gene expression is a fascinating area of research in itself and can lead to new molecular tools for diagnostics and selection in beekeeping. In this framework, we first investigated Varroa-bee interactions by using a combination of nuc1ear and mitochondrial DNA markers of Varroa destructor to trace the ...
