Honey Bee Nutrition

Veterinary Clinics of North America - Food Animal Practice, 2021
Optimal nutrition is crucial for honey bee colony growth and robust immune systems. Honey bee nutrition is complex and depends on the floral composition of the landscape. Foraging behavior of honey bees depends on both colony environment and external environment.

Experimental infection of acute bee paralysis virus induces differential responses of selected honey bee immune genes, independent of varroa resistance [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) have a complex immune system, with both innate and social immunity. The mite-resistant honeybee population from Gotland, Sweden, is well-known for their independent resistance to Varroa destructor mites and tolerance to virus ...

Managed honey bee colony losses in Canada, China, Europe, Israel and Turkey, for the winters of 2008-9 and 1009-10 [PDF]

, 2012
In 2008 the COLOSS network was formed by honey bee experts from Europe and the USA. The primary objectives set by this scientific network were to explain and to prevent large scale losses of honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies.

The Honey Bee: An Active Biosampler of Environmental Pollution and a Possible Warning Biomarker for Human Health

Applied Sciences, 2021
Member states of the European Union are required to ensure the initiation of monitoring programs to verify honey bee exposure to pesticides, where and as appropriate. Based on 620 samples of dead honey bees—42 of pollen, 183 of honey and 32 of vegetables—

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.

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

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 ...

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.
