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 ...

Reliability of Morphological and PCR Methods for the Official Diagnosis of Aethina tumida (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae): A European Inter-Laboratory Comparison

Insects, 2021
The Small Hive Beetle (Aethina tumida Murray, 1867) is an invasive scavenger of honeybees. Originally endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, it is regulated internationally in order to preserve the areas still free from this species. To ensure the reliability of

In silico identification and assessment of insecticide target sites in the genome of the small hive beetle, Aethina tumida

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background The small hive beetle, Aethina tumida, is a rapidly emerging global pest of honey bee colonies. Small hive beetle infestation can be extremely destructive, which may cause honey bees to abscond and render colony infrastructure unusable. Due to

Honey bee hearts [PDF]

Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2018
At a recent family dinner, we discussed the plight of honey bees. Everywhere bees are disappearing, and a new syndrome has been coined: “Colony collapse disorder.” The etiology is unknown, though p...
