Long-wave infrared imaging is used for non-invasive assessment of the internal population of honey bee colonies. The radiometrically calibrated camera signal is related to the number of frames that are
populated by bees inside each hive.

The ratio between the brood quantity and the number of workers is heavily disturbed in favor of the former and more than enough food is present.

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.
