Bees and Honey-Dew [PDF]

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 ...

Genotype B of deformed wing virus and related recombinant viruses become dominant in European honey bee colonies

Scientific Reports
The Varroa destructor mite’s transmission of deformed wing virus (DWV) to honey bees is responsible for most winter mortalities of colonies worldwide. Four DWV genotypes (A, B, C and D) and numerous recombinants have been described.

Floral Origin Determines the In Vitro Antibacterial Activity of Bee Pollen Collected From Western Oromia, Ethiopia

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bee pollen has been used as a medicine and food supplement. The biological activity and nutrient composition of bee pollen depend on its floral origin. Therefore, it was aimed to determine the phenolic and flavonoid content and antibacterial activities of methanolic (99.9%) extract of bee pollens among flora. Floral origin was identified using
