HiveLink, an IoT based Smart Bee Hive Monitoring System [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 HiveLink, the IoT-based Smart Bee Hive Monitoring System addresses the challenges faced by beekeepers in managing the influence of environmental impact, diseases, and collapse in honey bee colonies. Integrated with advanced sensors, the system monitors temperature, humidity, hive weight, and diurnal cycle. Leveraging IoT technology, the system provides

The Potential Influence of Bumble Bee Visitation on Foraging Behaviors and Assemblages of Honey Bees on Squash Flowers in Highland Agricultural Ecosystems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Bee species interactions can benefit plant pollination through synergistic effects and complementary effects, or can be of detriment to plant pollination through competition effects by reducing visitation by effective pollinators.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Introduced plants may be important foraging resources for honey bees and wild pollinators, but how often and why pollinators visit introduced plants across an entire plant community is not well understood.

Insects, 2020 Honey bees are of great economic importance, not only for honey production but also for crop pollination. However, honey bee populations continue to decline mainly due to exposure to pesticides, pathogens and beekeeping practices.

Blessing or curse? Varroa mite impacts Africanized bee spread and beekeeping
California Agriculture, 1998 Africanized honey bees were first detected in California in October 1994. Since then, they have established a foothold in the Imperial Valley and have spread toward San Diego and into Palm Springs.

THE RELATION BETWEEN HONEY STORAGE AND POLLEN GRAINS AT HONEY BEES WORKERS (Apis Mellifera L) ACTIVITY ON WANDERING AND COLLECTION TO PROVIDE FOOD NECESSARY FOR THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COLONY [PDF]
Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2007 Effect of storing honey and pollen grains for bees workers on groups of honey bees (strong. medium. weak) show that the best area was for the strong groups and the least for the weak ones.

A Machine Learning Approach to Forecasting Honey Production with Tree-Based Methods [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The beekeeping sector has undergone considerable production variations over the past years due to adverse weather conditions, occurring more frequently as climate change progresses. These phenomena can be high-impact and cause the environment to be unfavorable to the bees' activity.

Honey Bee Viruses in Wild Bees: Viral Prevalence, Loads, and Experimental Inoculation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Evidence of inter-species pathogen transmission from managed to wild bees has sparked concern that emerging diseases could be causing or exacerbating wild bee declines.

Modelling honey bee colonies in winter using a Keller-Segel model with a sign-changing chemotactic coefficient [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Thermoregulation in honey bee colonies during winter is thought to be self-organised. We added mortality of individual honey bees to an existing model of thermoregulation to account for elevated losses of bees that are reported worldwide. The aim of analysis is to obtain a better fundamental understanding of the consequences of individual mortality ...

A new threat to honey bees, the parasitic phorid fly Apocephalus borealis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Honey bee colonies are subject to numerous pathogens and parasites. Interaction among multiple pathogens and parasites is the proposed cause for Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), a syndrome characterized by worker bees abandoning their hive.
