In the current study, we investigated if any variations exist in acceptance rate of grafted larvae and quality of queens reared in different queen cell cup sizes, between wet and dry grafting and between queen right and queen less conditions of A. m. jemenitica colonies.

Impeding early vegetative growth would be a highly effective strategy for limiting the impact of AFB.

The Asian hornet, Vespa velutina, is an invasive, globally-distributed predator of European honey bees and other insects.
