Bumble Bees and Honey Bees on Islands Harbour Reduced Viral Species Richness, Yet Honey Bee Populations Are Dominated by a Deformed Wing Virus Recombinant

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Pollinators harbour diverse RNA viromes that play a vital role in their health. Yet, factors that shape viral communities are often unclear. The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is experiencing a viral epidemic since the emergence of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor (varroa) introduced vector‐borne transmission, which has also been ...

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.

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

Results of colony loss monitoring in Scotland for the winters of 2007-2008 to 2011-2012 [PDF]

, 2012
We began surveys of beekeepers in Scotland in 2006, using a geographically stratified approach and postal questionnaires. These have run in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012, with annual surveys beginning in 2010.

Host sexual dimorphism and parasite adaptation [PDF]

, 2012
In species with separate sexes, parasite prevalence and disease expression is often different between males and females. This effect has mainly been attributed to sex differences in host traits, such as immune response.

Influence of physicochemical factors on environmental availability and distribution of semiochemicals that affect Varroa destructor and phylogenetically close organisms: classification by VHWOC PCA-clustering

Heliyon, 2019
Varroa destructor parasites Apis mellifera larvae following the interception of the semiochemicals involved in bee communication; thus, the semiochemical availability and distribution pathways take place within different physicochemical environments. The
