Colony losses are an urgent problem of contemporary apiculture which has captured the attention of both apiculturists and the research community.

A comparison was made of the prevalence and relative quantification of deformed wing virus (DWV), Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV), black queen cell virus (BQCV), Kashmir bee virus (KBV), acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV) and sac brood virus (SBV) in brood and adult honey bees.

The largest Himalayan honeybee produces mad honey by feed in on wildflowers and mainly rhododendron flowers. It is mainly found in countries like Nepal and Turkey.

This publication considers the mainstreaming of ecosystem services at both national and international levels, with a focus on pollination services.

The development of strains of mite resistant to treatments used against them poses new challenges to beekeepers. This leaflet describes the biology of the mite, how it can be recognised and monitored, the latest approaches beekeepers can use to control the infestation in their hives, and a look ahead to the future.

Agriculture produces more than just crops. Agricultural practices have environmental impacts that affect a wide range of ecosystem services, including water quality, pollination, nutrient cycling, soil retention, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation.

We submit that 2 key processes underlie honey bee pesticide exposure: (1) the acquisition of pesticide by foraging bees and (2) the in-hive distribution of pesticide returned by foragers

Biotransformation of imidacloprid and the appearance of olefin and 5-hydroxyimidacloprid metabolites in the honeybee were studied by HPLC-MS/MS analysis.

The Varroa Shaker Device is constructed of sections of PVC pipe that utilizes screens of two mesh sizes that separatethe bees from the mites.

Whether production is for consumption or for the seeds, the sunflower can provide more or less nectar flow depending on the circumstances.
