Improvement of colony management in insect mass‐rearing for sterile insect technique applications
Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1476-1494, October 2025.Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) applications against major insect pests and disease vectors rely on the cost‐effective production of high‐quality sterile males. This largely depends on the optimal management of target pest colonies by maximizing the benefits provided by a genetically rich and pathogen‐free mother colony, the presence of ...

The State of Beekeeping in India: Insights, Gaps, and Emerging Opportunities
Entomological Research, Volume 55, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT India's beekeeping industry primarily revolves around two domesticated honey bee species, Apis cerana and A. mellifera, which are central to commercial beekeeping. In addition, there are four wild honey bee species—A. dorsata, A. laboriosa (sympatric with A. dorsata), A. florea, and A. andreniformis (sympatric with A.
