Evidence for virus-associated recapping behaviour in honey bees (Apis mellifera) with differential detection sensitivity between varroa-resistant and non-resistant colonies [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Social immunity is vital for protecting honey bee colonies from pathogens and parasites. Among these threats, the parasitic mite Varroa destructor is particularly devastating, both by weakening parasitized bees and by transmitting several potentially ...

Genome-wide patterns of differentiation within and among U.S. commercial honey bee stocks

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background The population genetics of U.S. honey bee stocks remain poorly characterized despite the agricultural importance of Apis mellifera as the major crop pollinator. Commercial and research-based breeding programs have made significant improvements

First identification of Tyrophagus curvipenis (Acari: Acaridae) and pathogen detection in Apis mellifera colonies in the Republic of Korea

Scientific Reports, 2023
Mites of the genus Tyrophagus (Acari: Acaridae) are among the most widely distributed mites. The species in this genus cause damage to stored products and crops, and pose a threat to human health. However, the influence of Tyrophagus spp.

Presence of Known and Emerging Honey Bee Pathogens in Apiaries of Veneto Region (Northeast of Italy) during Spring 2020 and 2021

Applied Sciences, 2022
A progressive honey bee population decline has been reported worldwide during the last decades, and it could be attributed to several causes, in particular to the presence of pathogens and parasites that can act individually or in synergy.

Why honey is effective as a medicine. 1. Its use in modern medicine [PDF]

, 1999
Honey has been used as a medicine for thousands of years and its curative properties are well documented. However, modern medicine turned its back on honey and it is only now, with the advent of multi-resistant bacteria, that the antibiotic properties of

A derived honey bee stock confers resistance to Varroa destructor and associated viral transmission

Scientific Reports, 2022
The ectoparasite Varroa destructor is the greatest threat to managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies globally. Despite significant efforts, novel treatments to control the mite and its vectored pathogens have shown limited efficacy, as the host ...
