Environment and Varroa destructor management as determinant of colony losses in apiaries under temperate and subtropical climate
(2018-07)For the last 10 years, honey bee colony losses have been a topic of interest for researchers around the world, and many drivers for losses were described. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors associated ... -
Grooming Behavior in Naturally Varroa-Resistant Apis mellifera Colonies From North-Central Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-22)The Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, is an important species in providing honey and pollination services globally. The mite Varroa destructor is the major threat to A. mellifera, and it is associated with the severe ... -
Individual precocity, temporal persistence, and task-specialization of hygienic bees from selected colonies of apis mellifera
(2016)Hygienic behaviour is a complex trait that gives Apis mellifera L. resistance against brood diseases. Variability in the expression of hygienic behaviour is evidenced at the colonylevel and is explained by the proportion ... -
Managed honeybee hives and the diversity of wild bees in a dryland nature reserve
(Springer, 2021)Honeybee hives may influence pollen and nectar availability in natural ecosystems, which may consequently affect wild pollinators. We studied the effects of managed honeybee hives on wild bee diversity in Villavicencio ... -
Potential associations between the mite Varroa destructor and other stressors in honeybee colonies (Apis mellifera L.) in temperate and subtropical climate from Argentina
(2018-09-14)The presence of Varroa destructor in colonies of Apis mellifera is explained by the interaction among a number of factors including beekeeping practices and surrounding environment features. The aim of this study was to ... -
Primer reporte de un área de congregación de zánganos de Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) de Argentina = First report of a drone congregation area of Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Argentina
(Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2017)La reproducción natural de las abejas melíferas ocurre en zonas denominadas áreas de congregación de zánganos (ACZ), visitadas por machos, denominados zánganos, y reinas integrantes de varias colonias. Dichas áreas se ... -
Risk factors associated with the presence of Varroa destructor in honey bee colonies from east-central Argentina
(2014-08-01)Varroa destructor is considered one of the major threats for worldwide apiculture. Damage caused by varroa mite includes body weight loss, malformation and weakening of the bees. It was also suggested as the main cause ... -
Risk factors for the presence of Deformed wing virus and Acute bee paralysis virus under temperate and subtropical climate in Argentinian bee colonies
(2017-05)Beekeepers all across the world are suffering important losses of their colonies, and the parasitic mites Varroa destructor and Nosema sp, as well as several bee viruses, are being pointed out as the possible causes of ... -
Servicios ecosistémicos de polinización en sistemas productivos con diferentes usos del suelo del espinal entrerriano, Argentina
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 2020-04-30)La intensificación agrícola y la heterogeneidad del paisaje afectan la composición de las comunidades bióticas, estructurando los recursos presentes en el paisaje y las especies e interacciones que sostienen los ... -
Short communication: Varroa destructor re-invasion dynamics during autumn and winter in Apis mellifera colonies from a temperate climate
(Elsevier, 2023-03)Infestation with Varroa destructor compromises the survival of Apis mellifera colonies, especially during the winter season. In order to prevent colony losses due to the presence of Varroa mites, determination of the ... -
Varroa destructor and viruses association in honey bee colonies under different climatic conditions
(2016-06)Honey bee colonies are threatened by multiple factors including complex interactions between environmental and diseases such as parasitic mites and viruses. We compared the presence of honeybee-pathogenic viruses and Varroa ...
