Diagnostic study on major honeybee disease, pests and predators in North Western Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 5, September 2024.
Pests and predators are causing 55.8% of colony dwindling, 19.7% of absconding, 13.2% of death and 11.4% of honey loss in Pawe, Jawi and Fagita Lekoma districts. Abstract Background The study was conducted in Pawe district from Benishangul‐Gumuz and Jawi and Fagita Lekoma districts from the Amhara region to investigate major honeybee pests, predators ...

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 ...

Revisiting the role of pathogen diversity and microbial interactions in honeybee susceptibility and treatment of Melissococcus plutonius infection

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
European Foulbrood (EFB) is a severe bacterial disease affecting honeybees, primarily caused by the Gram-positive bacterium Melissococcus plutonius. Although the presence of M.

Bacterial Agents for Biocontrol of American Foulbrood (AFB) of Larvae Honey Bee

Microbiology Research
Bee colonies are constantly threatened by a bacterial larvae disease called American foulbrood, caused by the Gram-positive bacterium Paenibacillus larvae. This is a highly specialized pathogen with only one established host, the honey bee larvae.

IPM Strategy to Control EFB in Apis mellifera: Oxytetracycline Treatment Combined with Partial Shook Swarm and Queen Caging

Veterinary Sciences
We tested an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy to control European foulbrood (EFB) in honey bees. Colonies affected by EFB were assigned to two homogenous groups: an oxytetracycline-treated group (1.5 g OTC/hive) that underwent partial shook ...
