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.

In theory, the geographical origin can be determined of any honey whose pollen has not been completely removed by filtering.
