Molecular Surveillance of Honey Bee Hives Using eDNA Metabarcoding During Pollination Season

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Healthy honey bees are critical in safeguarding our food supply, but monitoring their health may present a significant challenge. Here, we used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding on bee hive debris and detected species of arthropods, bacteria and fungi contributing to form the bee hive environment, including hive pests and pathogens as well as hive

Essential Oil Profiles of Lippia turbinata (Verbenaceae) from Argentina: Insights from a Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

ChemistryOpen, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study systematically reviews essential oil (EO) profiles of Lippia turbinata (Verbenaceae) populations from Argentina. A meta‐analysis reveals significant chemical variability and distinct chemotypes, primarily defined by limonene, carvone, β‐caryophyllene, and caryophyllene oxide.

Risk assessment and predation potential of Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Acari: Laelapidae) to control Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) in honey bees.

PLoS ONE, 2018
The biocontrol of the honey bee ectoparasite Varroa destructor is an underexploited but promising avenue that would benefit from being integrated in a Varroa management program.

Elevated virulence of an emerging viral genotype as a driver of honeybee loss. [PDF]

, 2016
PublishedJournal ArticleEmerging infectious diseases (EIDs) have contributed significantly to the current biodiversity crisis, leading to widespread epidemics and population loss. Owing to genetic variation in pathogen virulence, a complete understanding

Deformed Wing Virus in Iranian Honeybees: Molecular Detection, Phylogenetic Diversity and Regional Insights

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
Bee Sampling Molecular Detection DWV Infection. ABSTRACT Deformed wing virus (DWV) is an important pathogen for honeybee colonies, whose infections are linked to those caused by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor. The current study concerns DWV's molecular detection and phylogenetic characterization in Iranian honeybee populations originating ...

Flight performance of actively foraging honey bees is reduced by a common pathogen [PDF]

, 2016
ArticleSudden and severe declines in honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony health in the US and Europe have been attributed, in part, to emergent microbial pathogens, however, the mechanisms behind the impact are unclear.
