The importance of wax moths in the pathology of bees

, 2023
Wax moths are often found in hives in temperate climates and there are two types of wax moth in Europe. Both moths belong to family Pyralidae. Galleria mellonella, the greater wax moth or honeycomb moth is found throughout the world. G. mellonella eggs are laid in the spring, and they have four life stages.

Assessment of insecticide use practices in licensed pest control operators in North Carolina

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A statewide survey of 105 licensed North Carolina pesticide operators found ants, mosquitoes, and aphids as top target pests, pyrethroids as the dominant insecticide class (68%), and limited resistance monitoring, establishing a baseline for future insecticide resistance management and outreach.

Ground‐based robotic remote sensing for standardized biodiversity monitoring in coastal habitats

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Illustrated workflow of the proposed citizen‐to‐robot monitoring pipeline: (i) expert‐validated citizen observations are translated into AI models, (ii) deployed on a ground‐based robotic platform for proximal sensing of coastal dune habitats, (iii) enabling standardized detection of ecological targets (e.g., Pancratium maritimum & Brithys crini), and (

Development and Evaluation of a Low‐Cost, Semi‐Automated Camera Trap for Surveying Bumble Bee Communities

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera traps are emerging as a useful tool for noninvasive insect monitoring; however, it remains unclear how to lure diurnal insects to traps, how to detect them upon arrival, and how camera‐based methods compare to conventional sampling. We developed a low‐cost, open‐source camera trap to monitor wild bumble bees in agricultural fields. We found that

Insecticidal and repellent impacts of Lavender and Tea tree essential oils on different stages of Greater Wax Moth, Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). [PDF]

Catrina: The International Journal of Environmental Sciences
The greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) poses a significant challenge to apiculture by damaging stored wax combs, affecting honeybee product quality, and potentially transmitting diseases.

Influence of Some Natural Substances for Control the Greater Wax Moth Galleria mellonella l. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2017
The present work studied the effect of some natural substances (Egyptian and Chinese propolis ethanolic extract- cinnamon- clove- peppermint ethanolic extract) against the 4th larval instar of G. mellonella.

2D and 3D Nets by Self‐Assembly of Carbosilane Functionalized Polyphilic Liquid Crystals

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
In the shown compounds, the growing volume of the carbosilane side‐groups modifies the self‐assembly in liquid crystalline phases ranging from a square via a pentagonal to a hexagonal honeycomb and finally to a 3D (10,3)‐a double net. The structures are discussed in relation to inorganic solid‐state materials and the concept of “mesoatoms”.

Control of wax moth, Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in post harvest honey comb [PDF]

, 2013
An experiment was carried out in the laboratory to control the infestation of larger wax moth, Galleria mellonella, after honey extraction. Different quantities of salt in water and hermetic storage were used as methods of controlling the larvae.
