The development of an introduced Varroa destructor mite population was monitored in swarming and non-swarming colonies for two years in a Nordic climate.

Genotype and location have a significant effect on the analysed traits. Variability among locations was higher than the variability among genotypes.

Sweet Consciousness is Honey provision of energy that binds, integrates, and encodes the sensory information that is the ground of human intellectual consciousness.

Neonicotinoid insecticides have been identified as an important factor contributing to bee diversity declines. Nonetheless there are uncertainties remain about their impact under field conditions.

The information obtained from the monitoring process can contain data about beehive's temperature, humidity, weight etc. Such a monitoring system is a practical tool in Precision Beekeeping. Honey bee colonies can be monitored using various system architectures that are different in methods and approaches.

Since their discovery in the late 1980s, neonicotinoid pesticides have become the most widely used class of insecticides worldwide...

In 2013, the European Commission imposed restrictions on the use of three neonicotinoid insecticides (clothianidin, thiamethoxam and imidacloprid) following recognition by the EFSA of their extreme toxicity for bees.

Given the importance of bees, a concern about mortality is catching the attention of researchers around the world.

In nineteenth-century New England, it was held to be essential to whisper to beehives of a loved one’s death.

Winter losses in honey bee colonies, Apis mellifera, raise concerns both for their critical role in crop pollination and for the sustainability of beekeeping.
