Nature, 1891 NEAR here is an avenue of alternate beech and oak trees, and, in walking through it, my attention has lately been drawn to a loud humming in the beeches, similar to that heard in lime trees when in flower, while the oaks are silent. The sound is, I find, produced from bees in search of the Aphis secretions on the leaves of the beeches, the under sides ...

Isolation of acetic acid bacteria from honey [PDF]
, 2009 Four thermotolerant acetic acid bacteria designated as CMU1, CMU2, CMU3 and CMU4 were isolated from six honey samples produced by three native bee species in northern Thailand, namely the dwarf honey bee (Apis florea), Asian honey bee (A.

Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We immune‐primed honey bees at two developmental stages in the laboratory and the field with heat‐killed Nosema ceranae spores. When subsequently fed live spores, immune‐primed adults had lower infection levels. Abstract BACKGROUND Honey bees face significant threats from pathogens like Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite that contributes to ...

The honey bee gut microbiota: strategies for study and characterization
Insect molecular biology (Print), 2019 Gut microbiota research is an emerging field that improves our understanding of the ecological and functional dynamics of gut environments. The honey bee gut microbiota is a highly rewarding community to study, as honey bees are critical pollinators of ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Covert and persistent infections with multiple insect‐specific viruses are common in pest fruit flies and may affect pest management strategies. Our study investigated the host effects and viral loads of cripavirus and iflavirus as persistent infections in Queensland fruit fly, and after injection and ingestion of a mixed virus suspension containing ...

Predictive modelling of honey bee foraging activity using local weather conditions
Apidologie, 2018 We investigated the connection between foraging activity of honey bees (Apis mellifera) and local weather conditions. We measured bee egress rate along with temperature, solar radiation, atmospheric pressure, humidity, rainfall, wind direction and speed.

Modeling Honey Bee Populations
PLOS ONE, 2015 Eusocial honey bee populations (Apis mellifera) employ an age stratification organization of egg, larvae, pupae, hive bees and foraging bees. Understanding the recent decline in honey bee colonies hinges on understanding the factors that impact each of these different age castes.

The impact of honey bees on montane ecosystems within Tongariro National Park : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University [PDF]
, 1996 A study of the effects of honey bees on montane ecosystems was conducted during the summers of 1993/1994 and 1994/1995 at Tongariro National Park. Three possible effects of the introduced honey bee were examined.
