Insects, 2017 Gamma irradiation is known to inactivate various pathogens that negatively affect honey bee health. Bee pathogens, such as Deformed wing virus (DWV) and Nosema spp., have a deleterious impact on foraging activities and bee survival, and have been ...

Insects, 2023 Beekeeping in Ireland has been strongly impacted by the parasitic mite Varroa destructor, whose introduction caused alarming honeybee colony losses. If unmitigated, these losses could lead to the disappearance of the native honeybee subspecies, Apis ...

Impacts of seasonality and parasitism on honey bee population dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The honeybee plays an extremely important role in ecosystem stability and diversity and in the production of bee pollinated crops. Honey bees and other pollinators are under threat from the combined effects of nutritional stress, parasitism, pesticides, and climate change that impact the timing, duration, and variability of seasonal events.

Viral species differentially influence macronutrient preferences based on honey bee genotype
Biology Open, 2022 Food quantity and macronutrients contribute to honey bee health and colony survival by mediating immune responses. We determined if this held true for bees injected with chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) and deformed wing virus (DWV), two common honey ...

First large-scale genomic prediction in the honey bee [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Genomic selection has increased genetic gain in several livestock species, but due to the complicated genetics and reproduction biology not yet in honey bees. Recently, 2 970 queens were genotyped to gather a reference population. For the application of genomic selection in honey bees, this study analyses the predictive ability and bias of pedigree ...

A Mathematical Analysis and Evaluation of Varroa mite Control Methods for a Mite-infested Honey bee Colony [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this paper, we present a mathematical model for the interaction between honey bees and mites. The dynamics of a mite-infested honey bee colony and the evaluation of the commonly used mite-control strategies (traditional, mechanical and chemical) are studied.
