Stimulating effect of sugar dusting on honey bee grooming behaviour
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2012)
The aim of this research was to investigate whether or not sugar dusting can stimulate the grooming behaviour in Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), an important defensive mechanism against Varroa destructor Anderson ...
Variability of the honey bee mite Varroa destructor in Serbia, based on mtDNA analysis
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2013)
Only two mitochondrial haplotypes (Korea and Japan) of Varroa destructor, the ectoparasitic honey bee mite, are known to be capable of infesting and successfully reproducing in Apis mellifera colonies worldwide. Varroa ...
Seasonal variation in the activity of selected antioxidant enzymes and malondialdehyde level in worker honey bees
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
The recent decline in managed honey bee populations, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), has caused scientific, ecological, and economic concern. Research into the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), antioxidative ...
Clostridium botulinum spores in European honey bees from Serbia
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2019)
A total of 61 honey bees from different regions of the Republic of Serbia were analyzed for Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum) spores. The microbiological methods and molecular methods (multiplex PCR/mPCR and PCR method) ...
Quantitative PCR assessment of Lotmaria passim in Apis mellifera colonies co-infected naturally with Nosema ceranae
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2018)
A recently described trypanosomatid species Lotmaria passim and the microsporidium Nosema ceranae infect the honey bee (Apis mellifera), but the interspecific dynamic of these two common gut parasites is unknown. In this ...
Coexistence of genetically different Varroa destructor in Apis mellifera colonies
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2019)
The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of Varroa destructor parasitizing Apis mellifera colonies and to test for possible host-parasite association at the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) level. Six A. ...
Evaluation of genotoxic and genoprotective effects of Agaricus bisporus extract on AmE-711 honey bee cell line in the Comet assay
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Mushroom extracts have been shown to contain bioactive compounds that confer health benefits to humans and animals, including honey bees. Honey bees are often challenged simultaneously with several abiotic (e.g., pesticides ...
Estimation of honey bee colony infection with Nosema ceranae and Varroa destructor using fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with differential scanning calorimetry of honey samples
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)
In this preliminary study, we applied the Multivariate Curve Resolution- Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) method to analyze the excitation-emission matrices of multifloral honey samples, combined with differential ...
Preliminary trials on effects of lithium salts on Varroa destructor, honey and wax matrices
(International Bee Research AssociationTaylor and Francis, 2022)
In a cage experiment, lithium chloride (LiCl) and lithium citrate hydrate (Li-cit) were tested for varroacidal efficacy and impact on bees. Treatment with Li-cit (4, 7.5, 10, and 25 mM) resulted in 100% varroacidal efficacy ...
Loss rates of honey bee colonies during winter 2017/18 in 36 countries participating in the COLOSS survey, including effects of forage sources
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2019)
This short article presents loss rates of honey bee colonies over winter 2017/18 from 36 countries, including 33 in Europe, from data collected using the standardized COLOSS questionnaire. The 25,363 beekeepers supplying ...
