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 ...
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 ...
Twenty-five-year study of Nosema spp. in honey bees (Apis mellifera) in Serbia
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
A total of 7386 samples of adult honey bees from different areas of Serbia (fifteen regions and 79 municipalities) were selected for light microscopy analysis for Nosema species during 1992-2017. A selection of honey bee ...
Characteristics of Nosema ceranae infection in Serbian honey bee colonies
(Springer France, Paris, 2013)
The incidence, symptoms and consequences of Nosema ceranae infection were monitored in 200 honey bee colonies in Serbia over 5 years (2008-2012) to reveal if they display characteristics described for nosemosis type C. ...
Honey bee viruses in Serbian colonies of different strength
(Peerj Inc, London, 2018)
Protection of honey bees is of great economic importance because of their role in pollination. Crucial steps towards this goal are epidemiological surveys of pathogens connected with honey bee losses. In this study deformed ...
Honey bee colony winter loss rates for 35 countries participating in the COLOSS survey for winter 2018–2019, and the effects of a new queen on the risk of colony winter loss
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020)
This article presents managed honey bee colony loss rates over winter 2018/19 resulting from using the standardised COLOSS questionnaire in 35 countries (31 in Europe). In total, 28,629 beekeepers supplying valid loss data ...
Response of adult honey bees treated in larval stage with prochloraz to infection with Nosema ceranae
(Peerj Inc, London, 2019)
Among numerous factors that contribute to honey bee colony losses and problems in beekeeping, pesticides and Nosema ceranae have been often reported. In contrast to insecticides, whose effects on bees have been widely ...
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 ...
Oxidative Stress, Endoparasite Prevalence and Social Immunity in Bee Colonies Kept Traditionally vs. Those Kept for Commercial Purposes
(MDPI, 2020)
Commercially and traditionally managed bees were compared for oxidative stress (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and malondialdehyde (MDA)), the prevalence of parasites (<i>Lotmaria ...
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 ...
